Do you have any specific software installed on your laptop which might be hard to get on a new machine? If so I'd recommend a screen - and a good screen is useable for much longer than a laptop/desktop IMO

Yeah I've asked our IT team but they're swamped and haven't confirmed yet - although I know that we can access the system from supposedly any PC, as it's a remote desktop I'm accessing. Hopefully they'll confirm necessary specs if any, but I don't expect them to be high or for me to need loads of software.
Good point on monitor - I guess I can always buy a monitor and then plug a box of my own into it if I choose, whereas an all in one is what it is

I'm making the mad dash to sort out home working equipment as my work issue laptop is too painful to work from for extended periods (low res screen, small keyboard, poor screen position etc).
With the price of all in one machines am I better off just paying a bit extra for a machine or trying to plug a monitor into the laptop and using a usb keyboard?
If I go all in one, any recommendations for a decent budget model?
