Laptop replacement

Answer to common Windows problem: give Microsoft more money.

There is more than one way to stop Windows Update, and they don't all use GPEDIT.

One of the people in the Windows group, has a third party utility he uses, that stops Windows Update entirely. That's just to show the span of capability. I don't recommend doing that particularly. But it may come to that one day.

HP have one for £179, got one for my Daughter yesterday.

You don't have to to fall for their marketing BS.

your eyes might not thank you for 1366x768 screen

I've found Celerons disappointing several times, maybe quad core

Urgh, that's junk spec:

The N4120 is from 2019, so it's 6 years old at this point. Three years ago I bought a refurb 2018 Dell Vostro on ebay for £100. 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Win11. It had an i5-8250U which is twice as quick as that HP:

This!

Not only barely sufficient RAM for Win11 on that HP but it's a Window S machine.

Nasty.

That is simply undone.

I left it as an exercise for the reader to decide if/how they pay for it.

However keep in mind that paying for software from commercial vendors like MS also pays for large swathes of the "free" software you might otherwise choose, since many of those developers can only afford to donate time to open source projects only because they have income from a "money grabbing" software vendor.

I bought this...... 16 GB ram, 256 GB NVME, 2 x Display port and 4 core processor and Win 11 pre-installed, ready to go.

I didnit think it was bad for the money, obviously I had to add my own mouse, KB and monitor and this is running my monitor at 8k :-)

Doh! Forgot the linky!

Nice, but no laptop is it?

It is made from laptop components, just in a tiny wee desktop case. I have an older i5 version Dell desktop in an USFF case doing sterling service running Debian. Small and quiet. And cheap.

And the O/P doesn't want to leave the house with it ...

My laptop is a laptop because I am an elderly person who watches you tube s*it in bed

It rarely leaves the house, either

You could use an iPad to watch You tube s*it in bed and the iPad doesn't need to leave the house either!

I wouldn't want to watch him tube s*it in bed (whatever that may be). Is it some kind of Internet Influencer thing?

You are the one giving them money, I’m not.
