Is a Graphics Card Necessary?

Also check out the any of the Lenovo Tiny computers. I have a m92p right now and it works flawsly. I’m about to get a 710 that can run 3 monitors. They are about 1.5x7x7.5. You can find them new or refurbished for $300 to $700

I have monitors and peripherals in my home office and at my work office, so I only have to transport the computer. I am looking at getting three of the ASUS portable monitors that are only 1/2" thick for when I travel so I can put everything in a reasonably sized case.

I really like having everything I do on one computer (not a desktop and separate laptop), and I don't care for laptops' keyboards and small screens. I can also make a little more powerful computer for the price building a desktop. A notebook would be convenient though.

Hummm....
So you will travel with the desktop case, 3 monitors, 1 keyboard and 1 mouse.

You know, there are laptop with full-size keyboard and 17+ inches screen.

Maybe I'll have to take another look at laptops. I haven't purchased a personal computer since I built my current one about 5 years ago. At that point, I got a lot more for my money building a small desktop than buying a full-featured laptop. Times change though...
 
Not sure when Dell didn't suck. Had problems already in the 90's.

Considered portable usb / hdd? I'm with you on laptops. They get way too hot, noisy, impossible to extend, painful to work at and the hw always underperforms.

What, you're a "Dell hater"?

Back when, Dell made the mistake of having proprietary mobos and PSUs. The market taught them a lesson and they backed off to use "industry standard" parts.... and that was like 15 years (or more) ago.

I've used Dell workstations exclusively for the last 10+ years. Currently have 6 of them in my network. If they truly "sucked", I'd be using something else.

Absolutely not, not at all really. You may go for solution with integrated video from .... I would say Ryzen for now and not Intel i-series cause that way it's much cheaper anyway. It's more than enough setup which you mention here, you just need to be sure that it allows so many monitors and it could be some issue with that cause it's rare case.
