After some careful consideration, I realized I can do like 95% of my work on my iPad through the various social, cloud, and productivity apps.
This is my current setup that I'm testing out. Anker Bluetooth keyboard, my iPad Mini, and a cardboard box so that my neck doesn't get tired from looking down.
I'll probably upgrade to a refurbished 9.7" Pro at some point, but so far, so good.
Is it an ipad if you add a keyboard? Seems like a Surface.

Only took most of the weekend, but finally finished rearranging the office.
To the left, below the desk, is the R620 I have for a home lab box right now. On top is the work computer/phone on a sit/stand desk. To the right of that is the small staging area for equipment heading for clients. Back corner is the printer, and then the main desk is all my stuff.
Moved the main desk, printer, and modified the small desk with a 1u rack mount underneath. In addition to taking it all apart and putting back together.

What Desktop Environment is that?
Besides what comes with Fedora, what other additional software do you normally install for new hires? -

Oh! So that’s what Cinnamon looks like without that Linux Mint Cinnamon flavor?

Pretty much nothing. We do add Chrome. LibreOffice is there by default. Nextcloud has a desktop connector. Our Zoho tools are web based. Some users get Linphone but this one has a deskphone.

Didn't need a new computer for this user, so they got a recommissioned one. If we are buying new, definitely RP4.

Reinstalled with Pop_OS

I just can't imagine using a RP4 for a desktop. Seems like you would spend too much time waiting for things to load and get frustrated. I have spent some time on the one my son has. No way I could do it. Not saying it isn't possible. Just not for me. Do you deploy RP4 for "power users"?
Also, does the micro SD wear out faster from continued read/writes?

I’m pretty certain with the rPi4, you can used conventional SSD and even M.2 drives over the mSD.
Also, for most office apps and standard use, the rPi4 has plenty of power.

I have an RPI4 4GB and it's way to slow for me as well. I revisited a couple of weeks ago and put the latest Raspberry Pi OS on it. For kids and casual users it's workable.
The biggest problem for me though is that you can't get the full linux experience on it. It wont run regular ARM OS like debian, ubuntu, you name it. It needs custom compiled kernels, binary blobs and special tweaks.
