Oxford Nanopore already provide IT Example computers:

Precision 7770 Workstation - Discontinued
Precision 3660 Workstation - ?
and then other two.
I just do not want to buy a computer in late 2024 and in two years is ready to be used only for the office.
I would like to know if you have:
1- follow the examples (provided by Oxford Nanopore)
2- upgrade one of the examples to higher specs
3- decided to change direction, and go for Apple computer M4 (e.g. Studio with M4 chip) when it is out.
A- Please specify the specs of the computer you are using to run P2 Solo.
B- Which company did you use? do you have a link to share?
C- Are you happy with your choice or you would prefer to change it now?
D - Which computer would you rather have now?
It is important for me to get feedback from people already using P2 solo, but I welcome feedback from others too.
I have struggled to communicate with other researchers at my university (e.g. they do not own the computer but they use P2 solo, or they own the computer but they are too busy to reply). Therefore, I am taking this global.
Also, I accept feedback on my question(s). Am I asking the right thing? what should I ask?
thank you
best wishes,
and happy season holidays 2024!
