Adding more PCs is easy. The tough part is finding bargains on PCs. We need Win10 Pro, 32 gig of RAM, i7 - 4 cores 8 threads, and a 500 GB drive minimum. The last one we bought was $730 delivered to my door and even came with keyboard and mouse. It is a complete computer for that much. I am trying to find another one like it, or even build one, and they are all $1,200 to $1,500 and that seems high.
I need a source for cheaper systems. No fancy video card is needed, just a fast CPU and lots of RAM. 64 gig is even better. And a SSD.
We will likely buy another flight computer. A tablet or laptop but it too has to be a i7 with at least 16 gig of ram. We might get a Microsoft Surface.

Not sure if the Lenovo Carbon would work for you instead of the Surface but you could take a look. Newegg has refurbished stuff on sale now and then. NOS as well. Well NOS not NAAUUUSS!!!!!
