I have a Windows Asus PC that I purchased just at the time that Windows 10 became available. Other than upgrading the RAM and upgrading the hard disk twice, most recently with an SSD I have done nothing to it and never had any problems. I do not use MS programs other than the operating system and use Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird plus LibreOffice instead of the equivalent MS products. It has always performed well and within expectations. I saw the new MS browser update but don't use it.

Alis's Macbook Pro, which was purchased at about the same time has also had updates of RAM and disk (thanks for the advice from TM members smile ) but it crashes every so often and despite the upgrades often seems slow to respond. To be honest it was purchased more on aesthetic grounds than for any technical reason and is not used for any purpose that would not be handled quite adequately by any other notebook type PC. One thing I can say is that the battery has lasted well but I think it is now due for replacement. Now there is a wealth of choice of good looking slim notebooks on the market but I suspect that when it comes to replacing Macbbook it will be another Apple.

I had a small need for a portable Windows notebook but wanted something that was not going to cost a lot. I have ordered a Notebook/Flexbook that has a 13.3" touch screen (can be used like a tablet), keyboard, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 32GB Flash, Intel CeleronTM 2.4GHz, structure in aluminium. Cost €330. If it does what I want for the price I will be well satisfied.
