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*…

Very nice, tbh my desktop is i5, probably 2nd gen, 8gb ram.  Was fine at the time but thinking will upgrade as its main pc i use and if i upgrade can take advantage of m.2 (my mb doesn’t have) as well as faster cpu, get 16gb ram and overall get better performance.  This PC been fine, it wont play games that well now, main issue is gfx card, I’ve replaced it twice over the last 10 years and now alas it needs another replacement, which i’ll do when specking up replacement components, if indeed I need one as I see a lot of Motherboards come coming with HDMI, display port and some with usb-c so might not need separate gfx card, will have to see or at least not initially to get up and running.

I’ve also noticed lots of CPUs don’t come with stock heat sink & fan, does anyone know what models do? I see some cpu with K or KF on the end, but bit out of touch with it all now :)

I never OC my CPUs etc, so always gone with stock heat sink and fan.

Thanks

Kev
