Looking for New desktop or laptop suggestion

We have an older Dell desktop and it is a windows 8 version that can be upgraded…was previously then it crashed and I didn’t have any restore points. So, we can either upgrade ram, harddrive and windows 10 with word or get a new laptop or new desktop.

Want to stay under 500. I have a relatively new monitor, so would prefer a desktop, but wife wants laptop.

What do you suggest? Not lovi g Dell, and would to try something different. Plus Amazon is having some deals

The Intel NUC’s are pretty nice if you want to declutter your desktop.

Have both. Get a laptop and plug in your keyboard, mouse and monitor when using at on desk.
