Reply To: Laptop Suggestions Hi All, So my HP i3 laptop is down as not supported by Windows 11. It is 5 years old so whilst I’m a little surprised, apparently it *may*…

Interesting, I have used a Dell and  I have to say, not impressed at all, poor build quality, keyboard not great to use, numerous defective machines straight out the box, issues reported to dell and they are unable to resolve as issues are duplicatable.

I’ve had good experience with Lenovo and HP, prefer intel processors overall, never been a fan of AMD. Mainly use as a work machine, don’t play games hardly at all now.  10th or 11th gen CPU be ok I think.  Will be mainly used when away so not as a main machine.

For mac, i have a 2012mac mini i use, its not that good now, even with ram added, takes several mins to boot up, it has gotten slower since each new OS came out and its currently running the max os it can i.e. it cant take the last 2 OS’s i think as not supported.

The mac minis shot up in price though, I’m sure i only paid around 300-400 quid for mine but the new one is £699 and if u want 16gb ram, add £200 and 10gb nic, add £100 so effectively 1k… bit extreme as i don’t use it all that much to warrant the 1k.. have it as bit more secure than windows and to get familiar with mac os :)
