not sure why u insist pro os. unless commercial usage.

i recommend to buy hp slim series. after voucher discounnt easily below 2000
and 50 TNG cashback when u submit resit to HP website
include mouse kb.

overall speed very fast, ori win11 + office provided. home edition

That's a lot of budget just for the CPU. I wanted to recommend 9800x3d but you can only afford 7800X3D.

AMD Ryzen 7800X3D - 2100 ringgit

This CPU should last you 10 years.

To TS, mind you above wont last you the 10 years your asking and this CPU is from 2 gens ago so 2022 its ady lagi dated.

If you were to compare now its about i5 Sandy Bridge back then, its absolute ewaste by now. So no way this level of computer will last you 10 years lah.

Say about sandy bridge, not sure how long still can run, on my old i5 2300 branded pc, not custom pc
Still running now, just can say is slow even SSD

Such system is so slow its practically ewaste unless your a retiree with plenty of time to wait for the system to run.

I still have 1st Gen Core desktop system. i5-760 can still turn on and run simple things on WIN7, I even recently upgrade its CPU cooler with a 120mm air tower.
Slow as heck but well suited for my retired parents that turn on PC and go make coffee while wait it to boot. What for spend money if still boleh pakai. But if its your main system, O-M-G

That pc now is only for home work, or watching movie, cannot do heavy task
Windows update also took to long time

Already got HP desktop woth i5 12400F

Hello
banyak Thank you ..

Hello ,

I had done some research .. with w11 , I could not get max use of the copilot AI ... am I right .???
unless using win 11 pro


Just like some expriences using the XP before .. that cannot be update to win 10

Hello ,,

if my budget can pushes to i5 14th .. why should i consider using 12th of yesterday version

Just My 2 cents

any thank you for your reply

I suggest you to get this GMKtec K8+ for your budget.
Get the DDR5 32GB 1TB version for this price range.
AMD Radeon 780M can play some games. If you want to play more AAA games, this little machine can connect to "Oculink, meaning that an external graphics card. As long as you get a graphics card with a PSU.
If you want an Oculink GPU dock, here is the link for Minisforum DEG1

Exact games you play?

Considering that hardware requirements for basic use has been largely static for now (outside of games of course), it's not hard for a modern machine to last over 10 years - you'll be surprised how usable many of the Sandy/Ivy/Haswell machines with a SSD and sufficient memory

Its a fact that PC electronics will degrade over time, I have a few oldies that even with upgraded SSD & full bank of RAM its still not as peppy as I remembered new. Windows is also getting bloated over time so no extra hardware can save that. Mind you I once a while clean WIN reinstalls but after update to the latest the bloat will return.

If its a system you use frequently its time to let go ewaste dump, or give to others who have time to wait it boot.

Yes, but that's just Windows - try something like a reasonably modern and lightweight Linux distro and you'll be surprised how well it works on legacy hardware

Linux Too much effort for ancient hardware. Just keep using it in old Windows until a point where its no longer can run.

hello .. Yaah .. I am looking to this direction of mini PC ..bcos .. I would think that in 3 years from now all IT will be moving to this format of MINI PC..

But was looking at Shoppee on Dragon Mall Vs BolehMY this 2 website also selling the GMKtdec K10 ..which I intend to get 2 unit ... 1 with 16G +1TB and another one 32G +1TB...

On Dragon Mall this K10 , 32G=1TB is more expensive by almost 8 hundred ringgit as compare to BolehMY ...

How Can it be .. ???? I wonder .. if 1 hundred different ,,ada logic laah ..tapi 8 hundred different ... susah looh..apa macam ... you think bolehmy Can be trusted.. !!!

You are likely stuck in the old mindset
TBH modern versions of Linux isn't that hard to use anymore, with most stuff being preconfigured for you and installation is quite easy too - there's even plenty more community support for Linux desktop OS (thanks to the Steam Deck), so don't worry

I use Ubuntu on bootable thumbdrive as emergency backup. It isnt hard for ME to use as Im technically aware, but its not something I would give seniors like my parents to use. Linux still not as straightforward intuitive as WIN.
