I needed second PC for Zwift (online bicycle riding/racing), and wanted something inexpensive. I already have an HP EliteBook 830 G5 (bought new in 2019), which I really like but it's 500 MB disk was getting full. I didn't really want to fuss with the disk without a backup. Plus I "needed" a PC for indoor Zwift bicycle riding/racing setup.
Mostly in a straight path, I upgraded the disk in my G5 to 2 TB and the disk in the new G6 to 1 TB. So I now have my main PC with lots of room for several more years. Plus a backup PC I can restore relatively quickly in the exact same format. As use the backup as second PC in the house. Especially for Zwift.
I drive a limo, so these PCs are great size when I need to put one in my day bag. The screen is a tad small for everyday use. But I use a an external port extender to I can use two external 20" screens (one portrait and once landscape). The three screens are dandy together.
My G5 (which is physically identical to my reconditioned G6) has been great. Just works. I don't use the touch screen nearly enough. But sometimes I remember it is there, and it much easier to scroll with than a mouse.
My reconditioned G6 is working great as the PC I use with Zwift indoor bicycling setup. I use the touchscreen more there, as I need it more with the Zwift user interface.
