After failing to find a laptop to meet my needs, I'm now looking for a mini-PC
to almost meet my needs. It has to be small due to space constraints, e.g.,
something like 7x7x2 and it needs to have a VGA output because I'm going to
run it through my existing VGA KVM switch.
Several of the ones I've found that look promising do not have a VGA port but,
in many cases only one (or two) DisplayPort(s).
(Some more on the mini-PC: I want an AMD processor, with at least two cores,
and at least something like 2.2 GHz., space for 16 GB RAM, although I might
start with 8, Ethernet port, audio output. The mouse and keyboard connection
from the KVM is USB, but I do have USB to PS2 converters if I need them.
Generic on-board graphics is fine, I don't play games. The main use will be to
run Buster to run the version of G++ so I have access to C++17 to develop a
lexer for Scintilla. I may eventually migrate from my Wheezy system to this
as my daily driver.)
