After failing to find a laptop to meet my needs, I'm now looking for a mini-PC 
to almost meet my needs.  It has to be small due to space constraints, e.g., 
something like 7x7x2 and it needs to have a VGA output because I'm going to 
run it through my existing VGA KVM switch.

Several of the ones I've found that look promising do not have a VGA port but, 
in many cases only one (or two) DisplayPort(s).

(Some more on the mini-PC: I want an AMD processor, with at least two cores, 
and at least something like 2.2 GHz., space for 16 GB RAM, although I might 
start with 8, Ethernet port, audio output.  The mouse and keyboard connection 
from the KVM is USB, but I do have USB to PS2 converters if I need them.  
Generic on-board graphics is fine, I don't play games.  The main use will be to 
run Buster to run the version of G++ so I have access to C++17 to develop a 
lexer for Scintilla.  I may eventually migrate from my Wheezy system to this 
as my daily driver.)
