Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my PC that's served me well for about 8 years, but
it's starting to be unreliable and I can't upgrade the RAM beyond 4GB. So
I'm looking at a new desktop system that will be used mainly for
many-tabs-open browsing and multimedia editing using openshot, audacity,
etc. Of course must run Linux well.

I am currently looking at two NUC-form-factor barebones systems that use
the 8th gen Intel i7, an Intel model available through CC
<https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=570_7_1203_1157&item_id=130569>
and a Zotac model available from Amazon
<https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B079H24SWZ/>. Both are about the same price. I
would be installing 16GB RAM, an SSD and two screens.

Can anyone offer any advice whether to go with one, the other, or neither?
Are there better places to buy?

Thanks for all suggestions.
