Excellent price for super small computers, better than NUCs IMO.
Working out of the box and support 4K. M.2 Slot available if you want to add a boot SSD.

Not really, unless you are playing really old or light games.
Exactly, you won't be able to install ANY gpu's in there as there is ZERO space for it.
And if you're thinking about an external gpu, theoretically its possible but realistically not worth it.
So you're limited by the internal/embedded iGPU for games/3D tasks.
Overwatch should be possible on 720p/24fps/Low Settings. But anything more demanding won't cut it.
If you want a Gaming PC, I strongly recommend you look into building one for yourself.
In particular something along the lines of:
- $20 eBay OEM Key (Windows10 Pro 64bit)
- $100 mATX Case (FractalDesing Core 500)
- $100 600W PSU (SilverStone/Corsair)
- $120 AM4+ Mobo (Gigabyte AB350N)
- $280 AMD's RyZen (i5-1600)
- $500 GTX 1070 (EVGA Superclocked)
- $200 2x 8GB DDR4-2800 RAM (Corsair Vengeance)
- $300 1TB SSD Boot Drive (Crucial MX300)
- $180 4TB 7200rpm HDD (WD Blue)
~AU$1,800
….it should be able to play all/most games at 1440p/60fps/Ultra Settings (or 4K/40fps/High) and stay relevant for 5+ years.
Alternatively you could downgrade to:
- $50 No Thrills Case
- $50 No Thrills 500W PSU
- $100 No Thrills 1151-Socket Mobo
- $200 Intel's Kaby Lake (i5-7400)
- $250 GTX 1060 (3GB)
- $100 2x 4GB DDR4-2133 RAM
- $100 256GB SSD Boot Drive (S. EVO 850)
- $150 4TB 5400rpm HDD (Seagate)
~AU$1,000
….gameplay would be downgraded to 1080p/60fps/Ultra Settings (or 1440p/30fps/High) and stay relevant for 3 years.
Hi,who can give me some idea about a office Desktop around 1300?
No need of the monitor
May play some game but manly on my PS4 pro
i5 6400T *2 will be less than $1300
If you're thinking of a Lenovo desktop this is what I have…

I bought one a few years ago to run Office. It's nice and quiet and powerful enough for web and email. And cause it's tiny they don't take up much space. It's about the size of a tissue box.
I got a refurb off eBay for about $300. At the time they were about $500+ new.
Even thought they're small you can still swap out hard drive and add more RAM. Can't add a graphics card though. So it's purely an office machine.
Hope this helps.

Should plow through essentially anything you throw at it, 6-core 12-thread processor, 8GB of RAM, RX 460 (basic GPU, good enough for eSports and light gaming, GTAV low, etc), good PSU and case. You could shave off some money still by shopping around (PCPP is very bad at pricing, try StaticIce)
Keep in mind that the M.2 is SATA only, so no PCIe based SSD's. Obviously anything is going to be faster than whatever 2.5" drive it comes with, but something to keep in mind.
Only 0.6 kg weight?
What a ripoff, I can buy 2KG of computers at most other places with that money!
It's not the size, its how you use it ; )
Anyone know what warranty comes with these PC'S?
Plenty of suckers will still take the 2% discount :)
FUTU feedback score isn't great. Are they reliable?
Never had a problem, but then never had to return anything.
Returned something to them with no problems :)
Same. They're good with returns.
tossing between these two. 22" IPS or 23" FHD monitor? Are either of these good value for home use? both come to $600. Is the monitor worth the extra $100?

Which one is better?
$100 for the IPS monitor is actually a good deal. Cheapest okay monitor in my book is BenQ GW2270 21.5 since it has a VA panel. All TN panels <$140 have terrible colours and viewing angles. (try to stay away from TN panels)
The only things that seem out of place and possibly a mistake, is the 14ms refresh rate in the IPS panel specs. Checked the main website, seems to be the case as well.
If you decide to go with that IPS monitor, the main website has a complaint that it didn't come with a DisplayPort cable, so maybe check with the seller or be prepared to buy one if you don't have one lying around. (They are not that common though)
If you go with something like the Benq, you would need a DisplayPort to DVI converter. If you would like to connect it to a 4k TV you need to get a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 Active converter.
So you would pick the 22" IPS over the 23" FHD monitor?
Both of them are Full HD. 22" vs 23" is barely noticeable unless they are side by side.
The worst IPS you can get will be better than most TN panels.
so, yes.
Three questions:
1) Are these easily upgradeable for future? e.g. more RAM, change GPU etc.
2) Are they quiet?
3) Are they able to stay relatively cool under stress?
The i5 might get hot under the collar. My Dell one seems to fire up when under load. Either that or my expectations of a silent machine was too high.
1) Are these easily upgradeable for future? e.g. more RAM, change GPU etc.
RAM, yes.
SSD on the M.2 Slot
And you can change the 2.5" HDD to something else if you like.
CPU, I don't know if you can, but with the PSU on it, the i5 6400T seems to be the limit. That is an excellent CPU IMO which should punch through just about anything (normal to medium usage) that doesn't need a lot GPU. Especially if you pair it with an SSD.
GPU is built in the CPU chip, so some as above.
2) Are they quiet?
These are 35W chips, so expect the noise levels of gaming laptop (7700HQ).
Should be near silent at idle, audible when you start pushing it.
3) Are they able to stay relatively cool under stress?
I'd say yes, but at the cost of noise. I'm sure you can find some reviews online with more specific tests.
Thank you for this, the noise and heat are a big deal for me. I have a gaming laptop at the moment and it gets too noisy once it starts having to work a bit.
I'm after something that I can safely leave running like a server at home, it will be needing to do processor and RAM intensive tasks at times and not sound like a really noisy fan is running in my room. I honestly haven't done much research into this at all so I'm not sure if such a machine is easy to come by at a decent price range, I've always had a laptop and think it's now time to get a desktop for this setup.
If size is not an issue, building your own is the way to go.
If you care about noise/heat, make sure you get a case big enough for a 120mm aftermarket cooler or a 240mm radiator (water cooling). The Hyper T4 is the best value for money and you probably will never hear it.
Depending on what you are using it for, maybe look into Xeon processors with ECC memory, but research that first before you spend money that would be better spent on a GPU.
I bought i3 one during last ebay sales from grays online for $240. It was advertised as new although opened. I am quite happy with it. Replaced hdd with ssd and using as plex server with external hard drive storage.
So are you the guy that bought 2x M700's and 2x M900's on 13/3, or are you the guy that bought 1x M700 on 22/3?
Just curious…
No, i bought only one fron this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/296807. I think i bought on 22/3.
You lucky bugger.
any good for gaming?
