Best desktop for a dental office

[Kasras]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anybody knows what is the best desktop for everyday use in a dental office.

Daily tasks on the desktop would be appointment scheduling so nothing powerfull is needed but it needs to be connected to a server for data retrieval so should I at least get an it? Any recommended built by Lenovo or Dell?

What should the specs be? My budget is 600-700 per desktop.

Thank you for your help

Pretty much any office pre-built on the market currently will be good enough for tasks like that.

Intel i3/AMD R3, 8gb RAM, GbE, 240GB SSD.

 

This is what you want.

save space, buy the bracket to hang them on the back of the monitor if you have mounting holes.

For my opinion if basic tasks are all being done, focus on the read and write speed of your storage by getting a 2.5' SSD or a M.2 with a high speed of read and write.

High read/write speeds are virtually imperceptible unless you're doing something that hammers reads/writes -- e.g. intensive video editing. It's the low latency of SSDs that makes the massive difference.

 

The difference between a cheap SATA SSD (with DRAM) and the fastest NVME PCIE SSD will be almost non-existent in typical day-to-day tasks.

Same us for CPU, GPU, RAM, etc. it does not matter, that is why for this type of task computing this is at least the we should focus on.

 

Either way every work station will be perfectly intended for this type of task every day.

I've hooked up a few dental/doctors offices in my town with the Intel Nucs, the main model for those types of uses I've done is the nuc8i3bek, they also have better versions like the i5 or i7 variants which are a little more pricey, usually you put them together yourself but they also sell prebuilt versions on Amazon and they are small and compact, perfect for setting up reception desks or even using for entertainment systems to run TV's for streaming in lobbies.

Thank you. Is this a powerful enough processor. I don't have much experience with AMD

I had never heard of this PC. Is it a mini atx?

How reliable is it? Any overheating issues for day to day use
