So my hardware is usually years ago laptops and slow due to me being a cheapskate but I'm finding the new Ryzens quite tempting.
I was wondering about a new linux desktop PC with 16Gb Ryzen (with in-built GPU) and a 1Tb M2 but in a medium to small case (due to lack of space in office) maybe for about 500quid.
Can anyone recommend a more exact spec or recommend a website pc dealer? Back in the day I used to favour smaller local PC shops and I was wondering if there was anyone in East Anglia (who is linux friendly maybe) able to ship via delivery?
This thread would interest me too. My current portable Linux is a ThinkPad t470 running xubuntu 19.10, 7th generation Core i7 and 240Gb SSD.
How much better is a new[er] Ryzen based laptop likely to be? I could quite fancy something with a bigger SSD at least.
Like Steve I'd want a small laptop, the t470 is definitely as big as I want (nominally a 14" screen but it's a bit less in reality).
