My computer nearly crashed earlier this week
I've decided it's time to get a new one. I have a Dell Studio 540 desktop running on Windows Vista and an Intel Core 2 Quad processor. It's not completely ancient but it's pretty old (almost 10 years, I think?) and slow. I'm only looking at PC desktops and laptops, not tablets, notebooks, or those laptop / tablet 2-in-1 things.
Going from Vista to Windows 10 will be a huge change I've heard pros and cons about how user friendly the newest OS is. I've seen screenshots of the Windows 10 desktop and it's so different and a little intimidating looking
In the past I've used a clunky brick Toshiba laptop and a thinner Sony laptop and both worked pretty well for the early 2000s. I later had issues with the Sony not turning on when the button was pressed so I had to leave it on 24/7 on a power saving mode. I currently use an IBM Thinkpad T410 laptop at work which also needs to be upgraded to a newer model
Has anyone bought a new desktop or laptop recently? What brand did you buy? Do you like the compter overall? Are there any specifications I should consider / avoid? I know I don't want an Intel Celeron processor. I knows computers with that processor are really cheap but they can't handle a whole lot of resource demanding programs. A laptop that has a docking station option is a plus since I can continue to use my large desktop monitor.
