Original Coupon Deal

Don't miss the afterpay deal on our pre-owned pcs and laptops!

The very budget choice - Haswell club

Something slightly powerful - Skylake & Kaby Lake Club

Something a bit younger - Coffee Lake Club

If you need a lappy as a spare and don't care about battery life or small screen issues, this B grade Lenovo T470s will be great.

BTW apologies for the last Lenovo X1 Yoga 3rd gen deal where some units have bad conditions and wrong description on the fingerprint reader. Please contact me on ebay if you are not happy with the condition and I will work out something for you!

Also let me know what used pcs or laptops you guys are interested and I will try my best to source some good deals.

Cheers,

          Yeah, you do realise Minecraft is still in development though, right? It tends to get more bloated, harder to run over time…

    • bamzero on 20/08/2022 - 13:12

      Don't know about Roblox but my kids still play Minecraft on really old laptops with onboard graphics, a Core 2 Duo T7500 and a Pentium B940 (we're talking a 16 and 10 year old laptop). Running the Windows Minecraft. Not sure about Java version, I suspect that would have a little more trouble.

    • chingy213 on 24/08/2022 - 15:58

      100% YES. CONFIRMED. But too late now.

    Are any of them on the list good enough to drive 4k60 video on a TV? I.e. htpc

    • whitepuma on 19/08/2022 - 11:52

      on this same thought, anybody have any good ideas to use this instead of a nvidia shield/smart tv.

      I have a smart TV, but naturally those smart TV's are underpowered. Would this be a suitable replacement? and paired with what OS/software to do so?

    • Cyphar on 19/08/2022 - 12:11

      Any of the SFF's will do. You would need to pick-up a low profile card like a GT 1030 but will work a treat once installed.

      The "Lenovo ThinkCentre M910s SFF Desktop PC i5-7400 16GB RAM 256GB SSD Win 10 Pro GT730 GPU $237.15" might, because it has proper (but basic) GPU (the Nvidia GT730).

      But there was a there was a deal on here a few weeks back for MeLE Fanless Ministick PC, and I got the top model (Celeron J4125 + 8GB ram + 256GB storage) for $227. It's got 4k60 support in the specs, and is working great as HTPC for me. It looks like the price has gone up at the moment though: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B09DYBBDDR/

      Anything thats Intel 7th gen plus will be more than capable. The QuickSync iGPUs are very desirable for media servers - not unheard of for them to play 20+ 1080p streams at once.

  • juns on 19/08/2022 - 11:43

    Hi OP, do you know if the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720Q Tiny i5 8400t has HDMI 2.0 (i.e. it can output 4k @ 60Hz)?

    • pw2002au on 19/08/2022 - 12:16

      Only on the dp port by the looks.. Hdmi is 24hz

      • Budju on 19/08/2022 - 23:22

        Do display ports from 2013 convert signal to 4k 60hz with hdmi adapters?

        • muzzakus on 29/08/2022 - 17:03

          I'd like to know this too. What is the DP version here?

  • Flognuts on 19/08/2022 - 11:48

    are these good to run an online business from?
    Microsoft office, chrome etc?

      • pichxlonco on 19/08/2022 - 12:03

        Would these be good as a print server, torrenting/seeding machine (for seeding linux ISOs) and PLEX server? Haven't kept up with processors over the last few years :(

        • mskeggs on 19/08/2022 - 12:22

          Yes, though not for Plex if you want to transcoder on the fly.

          • pichxlonco on 19/08/2022 - 13:03

            @mskeggs: nah, i don't do transcode, just direct streaming (or whatever it's called) as i don't use very large video files. Thanks for the help!

              @pichxlonco: You can direct stream on just about anything. I run Kodi donate radarr save deluge etc on an old athlon and it serves 1080 to 5 seats no problem.. it seeds I dunno like 150 torrents while doing that. This stuff not hardware intensive.

      • mskeggs on 19/08/2022 - 12:18
        +1

        Lol. That is because office requirements were so much lower back in 2012.
        Today's word processing and spreadsheeting is much more intense.
        If you need to give somebody a machine to actually do business stuff like use office apps, or view business intranet pages or stuff, these won't shoot the lights out, but they will be fine.
        I'd probably suggest running office 2016 or 2019 unless there is a reason to run o365.

        If you want to run 30 open chrome tabs, edit video and produce 3d renders, they won't be suitable.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/08/2022 - 14:34

        I'm with you. My work has 3 or 4 excel files, few pdf's open. Add chrome tabs, teams, zoom calls etc….16gb ram and a 4 core is a minimum.

        There's (mod: inflammatory) on these deals that refuse to believe that a 2 core secondhand, 9 year old thrashed out office PC is anything other than a bare minimum, entry level device.

        A bargain, maybe, for a student to study on. Maybe. But nothing more. I've got a couple as a media server and other projects. For specific purposes they are fine. Amazing value for money, even.

    • bargaino on 19/08/2022 - 12:00

      The M710 or Optiplex 7060 looks good as a desktop.

      Not sure how sparky42 is forming his opinion on but these will be completely fine for light use such as email, internet, etc.

      I would not be running anything intensive off these though

      • Budju on 19/08/2022 - 21:28

        Very light use. If you're running an 'online business', safe to say he's correct and you'd be better off at the very least going for an 8500T. I had a Dell OptiPlex 7060 USFF i5-8500T in basket yesterday for $309.

        • Cyphar on 21/08/2022 - 16:00

          I run my online IT business using Shopify.

          Any thin client machine would be able to run it through a browser

          I stand by my statement..

          • Budju on 21/08/2022 - 16:24

            @Cyphar: It really depends what you are doing. You obviously only undertake 'very light use'.

    • rad000 on 19/08/2022 - 12:29

      I give out these exact PCs at my work (m93p tiny, same specs) and they are used for that. They work fine but if you're using massive or complex spreadsheets that's where they would struggle. You might also run into issues with the 128GB SSD if you don't store things in the cloud.

      • FutureTech on 19/08/2022 - 12:33

        in your view, is the RAM or CPU the main issue for slow spreadsheets/chrome tabs?

        • rad000 on 19/08/2022 - 12:35

          CPU but this is only when running big, big sheets and formulas. If you're just doing simple stuff it's fine.

            @rad000: Mate, this is simply bulldust. A 2 core pc is literally bottom of the barrel. It might do the job but add in zoom video calls, few pdf's, few tabs in chrome and no, it won't be "fine". Yes, it probably will "work" but it will also struggle.

                @rad000: Mate, if you "work in IT" dishing out 9 year old desktop PC's then you're working in a bargain basement reseller or a bargain basement enterprise in general, and you're thus hardly qualified to speak to comparative performance.

                        @Budju: I simply cannot fathom the fact that there's one or two dozen people lurking this site to insist that a processor that's 9 years old (and fairly freaking average even then) is not the absolute bottom of the barrel, every single time one of these deals comes up, in short order. To the point that they always, always downvote anyone pointing out this simple fact.

                        Honestly, it reeks of fairly industrial astroturfing more than anything else.

                        • Budju on 19/08/2022 - 21:56

                          @[Deactivated]: Haha yeah, some people over-sell how good the computer is. It isn't bad but I wouldn't go around giving it a glowing recommendation for business use. At this point I'd say any OEM SSD that has been present in the computer for eight or so years is probably a huge risk to business. Perfect for personal use @ $120.

      Yes. Fine. As another poster said, if you are doing large and complex spreadsheets they will struggle. 8gb and the old gen cpus are still fine for web browsing and basic office stuff.

          I neglected to mention that these are barebones at $250 and you will need to add a DDR4 SODIMM or two and any 2.5" or M.2 storage medium.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/08/2022 - 14:36

        Most of these support dual screens natively, without a graphics card, right off the integrated GPU's and they tend to have 2x or 3x monitor ports right off the motherboard. For like, the last…5-10 years?

    • 16k-zx81 on 19/08/2022 - 21:33

      2x display port but you can run display port to hdmi or displayport to DVI depending on what your monitors use. The cables don't have to be displayport both ends of that's what's concerning you.
