Looking for a prebuilt office or work PC to buy on Black Friday?
I am looking to switch from a laptop to desktop for work and media, a few chrome tabs, music, movies, light gaming(league of legends on low settings once a week maybe) so dont need a dedicated GPU as integrated usually is enough for me. Need atleast 16 gigs of ram(will be upgrading either of these with another 1x8 stick) 13th gen i5 and 512 ssd. Both are similar specs but the dell is small which i prefer but blue(ugly) the acer is larger but black(favorite color and will go with my black monitor). $30 difference.
Is there any better budget system I should be looking at in this price range? Are these generally as low as these systems go for black friday or should I hold out for more deals since most deals are on gaming desktops? Need a little guidance thank you!

It seems both options include a single stick of RAM. I wouldn’t want to buy another one just to add more. If you need 16, it might be better to get a PC with 16 from the start.
I’d treat these as temporary devices until they stop working, not as long-term platforms for future upgrades.
I doubt you’ll find a good deal on them during Black Friday or similar events. You could, but don’t count on it.
I wouldn’t force Windows 11; you can upgrade to Windows 10 yourself if it helps save money.
May your luck be with you and you avoid customer service calls.
