Hi all, I am in need of new hardware for a new installation.
In simple I have shortlisted the following computers. Will they be efficient enough to run a samba system with two fixed POS terminals, two tablet terminals and two kitchen screens as well as 2 thermal printers.

What would be the recommended configuration for this equipment also.
Many thanks

In all honestly, Id buy the 49 quid base units from eBay, cheap chinese printers and a touch screen monitor. Total cost about £300 which includes a samba5 license…

Second @GreatShakesBar, that is the type of units I sell.
Total cost of £300 might be a tall order if only buying a couple all though doable if you shop around hard.
I usually sell systems like this for around £500 depending on exact spec with discounts as QTY goes up - per installed with Samba on SQL Express and my stock starter config for bar/restaurant ready for you to add products etc.
Pros of separates;
Lower purchase cost.
Easier maintenance.
After a couple of years the models will have moved on and if you have any issues you’ll struggle like anything to get spare parts.
This is what my units look like;

As for recommendations… my systems are Core2Duo 2.8-3.0Ghz, 4GB RAM, 60GB SSD and run sweet.
Have setup with 5 terminals off one of these as a terminal and server/SQL host.
Obviously you need windows 7 so if you were to get all in one make sure it has the equivalent win pos/embed version if thats wheat it has if it even includes OS.
