French protestors says Windows 10's ESU will only leave users in the lurch, potentially rendering millions of PCs obsolete as they upgrade to Windows 11.
French activists staged a funeral for Windows 10 to protest Microsoft’s push toward Windows 11 and planned obsolescence.
My desktop which is running a i7-6700k from 2015 out performs all of the <$400 laptops that I could find on every metric and had higher multi core but lower single core for the $400-$600 range. I was unable to find a desktop that was <$800 that was better, so I would surmize that the desktop market won’t have a meaningful price/performance % in comparison to the laptops.
At the very least with the insanity of graphics & memory prices at the moment, the budget systems are getting smoked by a desktop from 2015, even while purposefully omitting the 2070 I have because that was a newer addition and pretty much all of the systems are running poor quality integrated graphics anyway.
