Desktops
For a fixed working position, a desktop still buys more computer per rand than a notebook and is far easier to repair or upgrade three years in. Where staff do not need to carry a machine, it is usually the better decision.
What’s available
- Standard office desktops for administrative, finance and reception positions
- Small-form-factor and mini-PC units where desk space is limited
- All-in-one machines for front-of-house and shared positions
- Performance desktops and workstations for design, CAD and data-heavy work
- Refurbished business desktops for cost-sensitive rollouts
- Complete working positions quoted with display, keyboard, mouse and power protection
Typical business use
Desktops are usually bought a whole position at a time — machine, display, input devices and a UPS — because that is how the person using it experiences it. Quoting the position rather than the box avoids the common outcome where the computer arrives and the setup still cannot be used.
Who it suits
- Offices with fixed working positions and shift or shared use
- Businesses replacing older desktops on a rolling basis
- Reception, point-of-sale and counter positions
- Technical roles that need upgradable hardware and multiple displays
What PMPEC assists with
- Quoting complete working positions instead of loose components
- Advising where a small-form-factor unit removes a desk-space problem
- Specifying machines that will take a second display or more memory later
- Sourcing matching units so that spares and support stay straightforward
Requesting a quote for desktops
Include what you can from the list below. If you are not sure of the specification, describe what the equipment has to do and we will propose options rather than send you away to work it out.
- Number of positions being fitted out or replaced
- Whether displays, keyboards, mice and UPS units should be included
- The software the machines have to run
- Desk space constraints, if any
Often quoted together
- MonitorsOffice, productivity, wide-format and multi-screen displays, with mounts and cabling quoted alongside.
- PeripheralsInput devices and audio equipment for office, call-handling, meeting and remote-work positions.
- UPS & PowerBackup power, surge protection, inverters, power banks and charging equipment for equipment that cannot simply stop.
- New & RefurbishedBoth options, compared honestly on warranty, expected service life and what the equipment is actually for.
Bundling these into one request usually produces a better quote than ordering them separately — and nothing arrives missing a cable.
