Question Recommend Desktop PC for movies and youtube (replacing laptop) ?

[Doublecat]

Hi looking to buy a desktop this spring to upgrade from a Toshiba Yoga 7 15ITLS 11th gen i5 8 gig ram. 64 bit windows 11 home 14x9” that I got from bestbuy.

Budget is flexible, I’m not sure what to look for. Maybe around $1000.

Compared to the Toshiba, I want better graphics and picture for movies and YouTube.
Slightly bigger screen.
Dvd reader.

I’m most likely going to keep the laptop and continue using it for light music track editing on reaper, and light browsing.

Not sure how to answer next few questions other than I’m in San Diego area and can’t build my own desktop.

I’m familiar with lenovo so preferably an easy to use or familiar system.

A quiet pc would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You could look into a prebuilt, maybe even an All-in-One PC and since you're familiar with Lenovo, maybe look into this listing;
https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/desktops/ideacentre/aio-500-series/lenovo-ideacentre-aio-gen-9-(27-inch-amd)/len102d0036
but that's essentially a laptop's internals.

You could look into this;
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo...ry-1tb-ssd-cloud-grey/6574648.p?skuId=6574648
and add this;
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-s...nc-monitor-hdmi-black/6500037.p?skuId=6500037

Though you might want to wait for others to chime in as well.
