Gareth and Matthew discussed the end of Windows 10 support and upcoming computer sales.

Looking at CPUs, comparing AMD Ryzen and Intel models. The AMD Ryzen3 and Intel i3 models for basic computing needs.

There is a huge importance of entering a computer store with knowledge to navigate the technical language and avoid being sold products based on commission or profit.

If you can’t get a computer built by a local technician, try and avoid HP computers. Lenovo and Dell offers the best after sale support.

For a basic computer for email and internet use you should get an AMD Ryzen 3 or Intel i3 processor, 8 – 16 GB of RAM and at least 512 storage.

For gaming, an AMD Ryzen 7 or 9 with at least 32 GB of RAM at least 2TB SSD and an Nvidia Geforce RTX 50 series video card with at least 8GB of memory
