Help me buy a computer for my kid

[Darth Wagtaros]

I suggest not waiting too much longer.  RAM prices are already skyrocketing.

Thanks everyone.

The computer is bought and tested and i'm jealous. It's a monster compared to my M1 iMac.

It's very quick and responsive but from a user standpoint i'm reminded that Windows is horrible.

It's funny how the last two iterations have both made it significantly worse.

I was fine with Win7.

Microsoft decided it was too beloved by its users and have really doubled down on enshitification and refusal to allow you to even own a fucking license to use their shitty products.

If there weren't a million worse things going on in the world I would be bitching about them non-stop. If this was 1996 they would be enemy #1.

But its 2026 so instead Microsoft being horrible is just a minor annoyance.
