Wow, great to read all the replies. Honestly, being this is a forum and my posts are sometimes a bit controversial ///
Well, expected a few to tell me I was crazy and Win10 is a trouble free OS.
*L*
Its why I posted I have been computing for DECADES, since Win 95 and pretty good with the hardware but in those days we would swap out hardrives, motherboards ect.
(guess I am sounding old)
Again, we never have less then 3 actively running desk tops, 2 laptops, various combination of ipad and galaxy notepads ect.
Now that I said that I am not embarrassed to say my wife has a 8 year old emachine, bought at a time when emachine was stepping up its game with slightly higher specs.
So you know, to this day, that darn computer is less trouble prone then any other we have ever had. Not fast to boot up ect, of course, its even running Win10.
Not that at times updates didnt screw that one up either.
Its not her main computer and why no need to upgrade, its her shopping computer, she has a very new/ late model Dell Business Desk Top supplied by her company also in our house.
Oh well, this ends my rant. I guess its jsut not Apples business model to compete in the lower end market. Gosh just a while ago you could get a "mini" at a halfway decent price.
Maybe someday linux will tempt me, dont know ...
