JeffersLos Posted March 7 Posted March 7 My youngest son could probably do with a laptop. It may or may not get broken.

ukrules Posted March 7 Posted March 7 The more you pay the more you get as with most things. For anything related to video it's generally down the the GPU and not so much the CPU
ignis Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Lots of things to think about Ryzen 7 U = 15 watt Ryzen 5 H = 28 watt Ryzen 5 HS = 35 watt this is very little difference in use - just how long the battery will last on a charge, the Ryzen 7 U is newer, + maybe 8% faster that a Ryzen 5 H [the Ryzen 7 7735HS is a lot faster + much higher price] Then comes the GPU Graphics, the old Vega 8 is far better than the newer found in many laptops 610M base graphics - best low cost GPU is AMD Radeon RX 5500M - the RX 7900M is the other end + high price For info all my life only had AMD, Both Desktops and Laptops had a few NVIDIA GeForce graphics, but always had problems, so changed a few years ago to ATI Radeon/AMD Radeon graphics so far in past 18 years never had a problem with these cards.....

Thank you very much. Ryzen and AMD look good. Most laptops only come with 2 usb-a ports, so the usb-c port would be important if docking peripherals. For example there might be a cooling fan, a mouse, a keyboard, a usb headset and a lan cable. I think the usb-c speed to have is 10mbps. Would all of these laptops have this usb-c speed as standard? Or is there something to look out for in terms of their usb-c speed too? Thanks.

The USB-C port to which you are referring will be either 5Gbps or 10Gbps. ACER is 5Gbps, but the ASUS, dependent on the specific model, might be 10Gbps. 10mbps wouldn't be much good 😊

I would guess that having 10 instead of 5 is quite important if connecting a lan cable, mouse and keyboard into it.

JeffersLos Posted March 8 Author Posted March 8 I will ask him to clear it or reformat it after buying it as it already has programs etc installed. When buying a nearly new computer, what is best to do in terms of clearing it completely so it's like a turning it on for the first time? Just use a program such as CCleaner to uninstall all the stuff you don't want? Or is there a better reset option? TIA.

SMIAI Posted March 8 Posted March 8 You might wish to run something like this, https://wpd.app/ to disable some of the features/spying. It just makes the selection to deny, much easier than searching through each option yourself.

One thing is the ethernet port, it's much thinner than the cables in our condominium. I guess there are new ones out that should also fit the router. Or can buy ones that are thin on one end and normal on the other end?

It does look much thinner but the bottom hinges down to open it up for a standard connector. Your current cable should do.
