Hope this is okay to post here? Not sure which instance i should post it to.

Are these good pcs for classroom use? Basically teachers would just use them for presentations (PowerPoint, Google slides, libreoffice, etc), web browsing, YouTube videos, etc.

Considerations are, speed, ease of use, and future profing.

Anyone have any experience with these machines? Looking at this kind of spec:

    The instances you speak of are actually called “communities”. Instances are Lemmy servers that contain them. So lemmy.world is a instance, while !techsupport@lemmy.world is a community in the lemmy.world instance.

    The desktop you suggested seem to be more than enough for very basic usage (browsing, presenting etc.). I do suggest installing Linux on them, unless you need to use Windows specific apps.

    They’re enough for anything web based in my experience. I have a m710q Tiny as a server and I’ve been impressed by it so far. It’s an older model than what you’re looking at but even then it’d be enough for desktop usage. For future proofing they should be good for a long time with that CPU. They can be upgraded to 32gb of ram and have a slot (or two) for M.2 SSDs if you’re needing a speed boost there.
