Buy Computer With Windows Server 2012

Setup on a Windows print server. Works great.

Had a 2012 mac mini server w/16 GB RAM and 1+2 TB internal SSD. This is a nice step up in speed and 24 GB RAM, but only 1 TB super-fast storage (1 TB seems to have the faster dual-chip config inside, if you are following the recent reviews in Q1 2023). Same mini experience as ever: lots of power in a small package. A little short on USB ports, so the Dell monitor with USB 3 hub is handy way to get more ports without adding another blob on the desk.

If you have a computer running Windows on a legacy hard disk, you really have to upgrade. It saved me from having to buy a new computer.

works inmediately with windows server, good support online

Worked Excellent to hold the computer in server Rack.

Exactly as described. Works flawlessly on my windows 10 server running my Plex media.

Faster than my 2012 macbook. A good computer, i can finally serve the internet now!

I purchased this for use as a backup with an Intel NUC that I'm using as a web-server. The web-server has 4tb of storage, so I have Windows set to backup the contents of the web-server onto this drive. It's working great!

I am a long time Windows user, but opted to try this machine since it could run both operating systems (MAC being a closed system). A similarly configured Windows machine would be much lower in cost, but won't run OX. For a $ (at $ one wonders why this is not offered as part of the software with the machine) the machine can add server software to host websites, file share, have an email server, and the OSX (iPhone style) calandar/contacts integration, instant messaging. While not simple, it is easier to use (but less powerful and flexible) than a Windows based server. I found that in a small office environment intregration with OSX (IPad IPhone) very useful, and this is why I give the machine a 5 star rating (that and the machine is whisper quiet, but still very powerful). The machine comes with NO manual whatsoever. At this price you would expect at least a few pages of paper describing the features of the machine, setup instructions, and a thumb drive( there is no disk drive) that contains more detailed instructions. If you are new to Apple like me you will need to buy an instruction book and introduction to the operating system and to the server (if installed). When you need help, you are directed to your local @ and serviced by an Apple Genius in the same manner (in the same long lines) as IPhone and IPad users. Monitors and external devices are connected through Thunderbolt or USB devices. Thunderbolt technologies can be daisy chained, but make sure your devices have more than one thunderbolt port so that you can take advantage of daisy chaining. The only other wired ports are two network ports. Wireless support for a wireless mouse/trackpad and wireless keyboard, Bluetooth, wi fi, and air play are standard.

Exactly as described. A good price for a fully functional Windows IoT storage server. Quiet and powerful.
