I mostly use Windows Home these days, with AD not making sense like it used to, Windows Home often ends up making more business sense in smaller businesses.
But can you install Hyper-V manager on Windows home edition to manage a Hyper-V host?
No idea.

No Hyper-V manager is an RSAT tool I don't think it is available on Windows 10 Home.

Can you install and run RSAT on Windows home?
I'm not sure, I don't use Home edition at work or home. Who is using Windows Home?
You found a laptop with Windows 10 Pro on it for $200-300? Nice find then. If you didn't, then you'll need to toss $50-100 on top of that price to upgrade to Pro. that's where I was driving too.
But it's still weird to me to have this single computer sitting in the corner of my desk to manage a Hyper-V host when I have a decent (I assume) desktop/laptop on my desk for all of the other management I do.
I mean it takes all of 15 minutes on Newegg or Amazon. All that being said even if we're going by your numbers still you're looking at $300-400, I don't know where that $800 came from. Also I do everything from my management PC that I need to do, again this is personal preference.

That's what I would assume. That just sucks.
Windows Home can't install the Hyper-V role, either.

That's a long time. Fifteen minutes of my time definitely would make a better laptop make more sense

so you work from this machine all day long? You don't work from a domain joined PC? Why do you even have a domain then?

Your time is worth a lot more than mine Scott

Oh wait, that was educational. I bet it's not allowed for normal users.

Three choices under $275 all with 4GB RAM and Windows 10 Pro. That works.

@scottalanmiller I would hate to have to use such slow machines.

I'm not a fan of those processors. They just don't work very well under even the most basic work loads.

Well sure, me too, that's why I don't use Windows
Same box with ChromeOS is nice and fast.

It's only managing Hyper-V, though. I bet you'd never notice.

Yeah I'm not sure how much hands on management you're needing to do on a day to day basis, but for myself it's incredibly minimal.

Oh, well still, if it is PowerShell and RSAT, that's more than enough power.
