Any laptop without active cooling.

So no desktop?

>>60987400
Sure you can get a desktop too, but I don't see why you would if all you do is text editing and some web browsing. Just run extra displays via usb if you need them.

>>60987400
You could do with just a laptop, but you'll need at least an external monitor for ergonomics.

building your own pc is fun

>>60987677
This one. If you aren't text editing in 4K on a NEC display powered by a 1080, you're doing it wrong

You can get a desktop that pretty much that has the same sound of a quiet fan. Only reason for you to get a laptop would be if you live in those places where the power bill is still a thing.

>>60987677
But you end up with a mess of wires and constant fan noise.

Wait, you can hook up monitors via USB now?

intel nuc doesn't use fans, making it quiet
pretty small too

Pic related is a Dell docking thing for USB 3.0.
Would the hdmi on this thing put out 1080p?

What about 4k?

>>60989367
But it's not going to be worse than similar adapters with only USB-HDMI, right?

>>60989512
I don't know. I don't work for Dell.

>constant fan noise
Only if you are doing it wrong. Almost any decent PC will be inaudible from normal distances.
