<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">While I agree with you on the SSD drive or the public computers, I can’t suffice spending the extra money in the machines for the time of use the patrons are
on them. These computers have been put into 2 of our branches and have been working out just fine. I’m not a big fan of Acer anyway. Have had to many bad experiences with them in the past. I also use the CPU benchmark software to compare CPU’s to see what
we need to implement into our system. I have seen a lot of libraries going to AiO’s either made by HP or Lenovo that we had visited. By the way, the new Intel NUC’s might be worth checking out as well since you get big performance in a small footprint.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Tech folks,<br>
<span style="color:#0F61C8"><br>
</span>Please help “brainstorm” a configuration for the public workstations. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
While I’m convinced that the future will not be anything like our current patron offering (witness most patrons spending their technology dollar$ on todays smartphone/tablet, the popularity of laptops as home computer selection, schools switching to 1:1 using
Chromebooks, and more “cloud” - based computing than ever.) desktops are what our staff are used to. Not rock the boat today.<br>
<span style="color:#0F61C8"><br>
</span>I’m looking for performance first. Performance comes from RAM, and CPU. Our new configuration should be 8GB of RAM, and quad-core (Intel i5 or better) processing/CPU. I use CPU Benchmarks to compare between various offerings of CPU. This levels the playing
field by describing what a processor can do - given a specific task on similarly configured system. Here’s the site I’m looking at for comparison: <a href="https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html">https://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html</a> Generally,
I want processing rating of 7000 or better as a starting point.<br>
<span style="color:#0F61C8"><br>
</span>This machine is a starting point: <a href="https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Acer-Veriton-Z4820G-Wub-Core-i5-6500-3.2-GHz-8-GB-500-GB-LED-23.8in/4076440.aspx?enkwrd=4076440&pfm=srh">https://www.cdw.com/shop/products/Acer-Veriton-Z4820G-Wub-Core-i5-6500-3.2-GHz-8-GB-500-GB-LED-23.8in/4076440.aspx?enkwrd=4076440&pfm=srh</a> <br>
<span style="color:#0F61C8"><br>
</span>I’d prefer SSD drive (solid state) as there is a tremendous performance boost - and we don’t require a lot of storage on the public system. This model, being an all-in-one, includes larger (23+”) display and camera. Camera would be helpful as an image
or document scanner alternative- would be available at each station. <br>
