And he's into a new plan now...
He wants a TV and a computer but has only a computer today. He uses his laptop as his computer but wants to able to sit back farther and see it. So now we are talking about a desktop and a monitor. He doesn't need a laptop - the reason for light weight I found out was to be able to move it off the shelf below the tv to the kitchen table. So why not use a monitor and keyboard and a desktop I asked - you can get a 27" screen and not have to have a TV. (He only uses the computer streaming apps now...)
That's where we are...
He has discussed all in one and desktops. But the two problems with all in one systems - limited choices of monitor specs, and difficulty mounting it to a VESA mount.
Sorry for the rollercoaster - now you know what it can be like... lol
