My fax machine is broken and it's the weekend, will get onto it tomorrow.

@Paekakboyz agree, 512 isn't huge but as you say, external or cloud are options, particularly since it's going to be in a desk setup most of the time. There's enough budget left over on the ex-lease for options.
Turns out there's not much out there under $2000 with 16GB RAM and discrete graphics other than gaming or ex-lease laptops.

working with some grads a few years ago. Of the three of them, two had never sent or received a fax. One had sent one once when required by someone else. Time changes - they're talking about finally removing them from legal and pharmacies as the technology is just so outdated (but reliable)

I don't understand Apple at all. Windows makes more sense but its what I'm used to

@canefan yeah same. That was a genuine question. I had a mac and an iphone about a decade ago, but swore off apple forever when I spent weeks trying to move photos onto an external hard drive unsuccessfully, then both machines karked it (is that how you spell that???) within a day of each other.
I never got the operating system of the mac, but to be fair never really persevered with it either.
Genuinely interested to understand why people prefer them these days.

I used Macs years ago and went to windows, mostly due to availability of software. Never looked back.
My old man is still Apple and his computer does my head in. He has stopped asking me for help in case I smash it. They might have started with the "intuitive" interface but they lost it somewhere. I do like my iPhone and iPad (nearly typed IPA there, which would also have been true).

I'm a full Samsung/Google convert these days
Might give it a try next time.
Apple did piss me off with a recent update to iPad. Was trying to airplay something which used to be a swipe up to get the menu thing, they moved it and I had to google to find that it is now top right corner. Yes, I could have read the update instructions but I am a Kiwi bloke. We don't do that.

In all honestly, if you aren’t a tech head or running some serious shit on Excel, you should be on Apple.
