Weather is shit. Getting horrible WiFi at work can’t even look. I want to throw this piece of shit against the wall. Loner i May make the switch. That is major change though. It could backfire. Porn is last on list because I can just watch on phone

phones are the worst for porn lol trust me man, no viruses on macs either, never slows down, no popups no bullshit. think about spending another 7-800 for much better quality, no anxiety about slowing down or breaking for years to come. worth the extra squeeze

Get a good 2nd hand machine on Gumtree, or whatever the equivalent is in your location. If you're not gaming you don't need high end graphics/card or specs which are expensive. The bare minimum processor power you need for HD streaming is a 1350 rating at:
Basically the processor is the brain and the RAM is how much the brain can deal with. At the bottom end you'll have picture degradation and buffering issues. As a streaming recommendation I wouldn't buy a laptop with a processor rated less than 2700. That should be significantly over the top to see you through the next 3+ years. You can get by with a 4GB Ram memory, (as long as it's a single 4 rather than 2 X 2), but the cost for an upgrade to 8GB is so small you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to get 8GB of RAM. SSD drives are cheap enough and are supposed to be much quicker, (although I can't say I notice the difference). Large storage capacity on your main drive is NOT an advantage. Get a 2nd drive for that. Generally i'm not a fan of HP. Dell have a poor reputation. Hitachi, Toshiba, and Asus all make good machines.
If you don't need the mobility of a laptop then get a desktop because your money will get you better specifications.. A decent ex-gaming machine with a 4200+ processor and 8GB Ram isn't going to be more than £220 in the UK.
If you're using computers for business/banking then have more than 1 computer. I have 2 desktops for streaming/general fun and bootleg versions of Office 2016 from a dodgy Russian site. I have a separate, (much lower spec), machine for anything financial, which includes gambling and shopping. 1 machine for everything is NOT something I would recommend.
***If you're streaming make sure you get something with an HDMI out so you can hook it into your tv .

sammy has everything
Best advice I can give
By laptop.....after 2 years use the setting to bring laptop back to original settings
Brandy new and then repeat yearly..always limit your downloaded programs to keep it simple and easy to re install those also you always get free virus protection for 1 year because always comes with a new PC and than is what your doing every re start to factory settings
Laptop will always runs great

Some great advice in here. Semibluff knows his shit. Today is the day... starting think about getting a desktop and lapper. Having a desktop at home I would be more productive. 5 laptops in my house on per human.

Zammer, sounds like you need a more powerful laptop than my needs. From my experience, whether I spent 1k or $250 they start breaking down after a couple of years. Given that, I buy a new laptop for $250-$300 every 2-3 years and figure for ~$100/year that is worth it to me. If something breaks down and costs more than $50 to fix, I just toss it and buy a new one.
Godspeed and good luck on your quest..

Is the sociopathic gene passed on as well?
