Mark P said...: Interesting video, although it generally supported what I've personally experienced.

In the last couple of years I've bought 2 Dell OptiPlex Desktops for my wife and daughters to use at home. I've found them reliable and easy to maintain, although I have upgraded the graphics cards and replaced the HDD with SSDs. I've tended to buy Dell as almost all the Work Laptops and Desktops I've used have been Dell.

The comment on Lenovo's was interested as I bought my first 3 in 1 from Lenova last year and been generally impressed with it's performance.

I found the comment on upgrading the Laptops interesting as I've found that by replacing the HDD with SSD I've been able to postpone buying new laptops by several years as this relatively simple upgrade greatly improves performance.

At the moment the only reason driving me consider buying a new Laptop is that my Sony Vaio which I really like, has a dual graphics card which prevents me from upgrading from W7 to W10 and I'm trying to harmonize the OSs on all my devices.

The comment on Intel and non-intel performance seems to support my own beliefs that I try to always buy intel Usually a I5 minimum.; April 8, 2016 at 3:04 AM
