i would pay to see that future

Microsoft isnt as prevalent in education as far as I can see

here they are sadly ...

but yeah its 2011 processor with DDR3 memory up to whopping 1333mhz

they do have integrated grafics tho

~

those are the weird space machines tbh

where they are decent for anything light

but if the app is even litle bloatted

security patches don't affect excel ffs

they start crawling

@Goz3rr but bloat does

and excel has slowed shit ton during years

that's why you reinstall

so indeed excels patches security or not do matter

2010 vs 2019(whatver) versions for example

then install 2010

just trying to throw example here that they are "barely" good for anything anymore

getting too old slowly but steadily

But given i have biassed opinions as i love my spreadsheets and im heavy multitasker and "google office as solution" is nightmare for me.

ofc what matters here is what kind of school will use them

@Jignx is the school pre-school or highschool or something else

(kek idea of pre-schools having computers for kids is just so wrong)

they are school computers

and with an ssd almost any cpu will work

if only

it's an i5 2400

not some celeron

sandy bridge is fine

maybe i just have really bad experiences :D (and oh boy i have stories for days)

but yeah 2400 should be on the better end

unlike said celerons

@Tervy high school

yeaah should be enough then

I wonder if I should keep one for myself

and turn it into a media center or emulator machine

which I doubt I'll ever use

they might be usable as media center because the i5 2400 can do quicksync

emulator depends on which

it has no GPU though

it has no HDMI out

just displayport
