My wife works from home via a remote connection to her works server and requires dual screens, this was achieved up until recently.with a Microsoft surface pro on a dock and then a HDMI monitor plugged into the dock... However for whatever reason this has decided it doesn't want to play anymore albeit hardware fault with the dock or software fault with drivers Its about time she upgraded as it's a pretty old surface pro now anyways...I have considered an actual PC setup however due to space and lack of an actual office (she works from the bedroom) I believe the best solution to be either a new laptop with dual screen capabilities or a mini pc that can display over two outputs.
Any ideas or suggests?
All help greatly appreciated ","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52037390","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Uridium"},"datePublished":"2024-01-21T20:12:21.000Z","text":"Always loads of ex corporate Optiplex usff (micro) on ebay.
Depending on age / spec they range from £50-£300
I'd say a 3060 is the sweet as it will give you an eighth gen CPU for win11 compatibility. They have dual video output.
Not a lot of point buying new for your usage requirements. So many good ex Corp machines around."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52037370","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"001Cisco"},"datePublished":"2024-01-21T20:09:22.000Z","text":"What is your budget?
