Sooo....time to revive this thread.

Alright, gents. My work from home setup is starting to not be so happy with Microsoft Teams being so memory-hungry, and I'm going back to school full-time while juggling my job this upcoming January.

With that, I need to dedicate my current Microsoft Surface Pro 6 for just schoolwork and the travel that comes with it. Over the course of the summer, I started to capture my track day footage using a GoPro Hero 11 and when post processing the videos with software to show the GPS data, it takes 6+ hours, and this is no way to do things efficiently.

I'm looking to see if you guys have a recommendation on a desktop computer (not a laptop) or a micro /mini PC that has the processing power, RAM, and whether or not an on-board graphics card or a seperate one is recommended, and what.

For what it's worth, my Surface Pro 6 is an i5-8500T with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD. The videos take up way too much space, so I need the storage. I find the RAM is not enough to run Teams, especially on conference and video calls.

I was thinking of something like this - https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/r...816434905.html

Will this work? I will need WiFi connectivity. I know nothing about computers, so talk to me like I'm 5 years old. Thanks.
