FAQ
What AIO is best for DUT or UKZN students in Umlazi?
Students at Durban University of Technology (DUT) or UKZN benefit most from an AIO with Core i5 or Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM, and at least 512GB SSD — available at Evetech from around R12,000–R15,000. This configuration handles online lectures, assignment software, and multitasking across all common undergraduate courses.
Is an AIO or a laptop better for a KZN student?
For a Umlazi student who primarily studies at home, an AIO provides a larger screen, better keyboard ergonomics, and higher performance per rand compared to a laptop at the same price. If portability is a priority for campus commuting, a student laptop may be the better choice.
How do I know what connectivity an AIO PC has?
Check the spec sheet at Evetech before purchasing. Look for: USB-A ports (3 or more), HDMI out (useful if you want a second display), USB-C, built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 5 or 6), and a webcam for video calls. Most mid-range AIOs include all of these at R12,000+.
buyers ordering an AIO, save the original box and packing — in the unlikely event of a warranty return, Evetech will ask you to ship the unit back, and original packaging prevents damage claims during transit.
