This machine of mine is no slouch. And yet it can't run Windows 10 with Aero Windows 11.
I was wondering whether I'd continue with Windows or just bite the bullet and switch to those pretty coloured thin iMacs. Guess the choice is made.
cheers

Interesting that they left Lenovo and Dell off the list of retailers.
I guess I will worry about it when it ships, don't know what the deal will be for VM's. I think the CPU does pass through the TPM, but never turned it on here. Mine is back at 1.2.
Like me, my desktop is becoming obsolete.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I glanced at the requirements - system must have UEFI boot enabled.
NO THANK YOU.
What a royal PITA. I called my laptop vendor and asked why my laptop came without UEFI enabled? "It's not worth the hassle." And I agree.

Purrhaps, but you must be kitten about that idea because what would claws a cat to work to begin with?

How much work would a working cat work if a working cat were made to work?
Given that there is no life at work, cats must have 5-to-9 lives.

If you wanted to buy a thumb drive today, where would you go in order to...
- [A] Maximize your convenience
- [B] Minimize your cost

I went to JB-Hifi the other day and bought a 500Gb SSD with USB- A, B and C connector cables. Very happy about that!
The drive is also very small, credit card sized.
Cost about ~ AU$ 100.

Cool story bro.
Now, about that thumb drive...
|
|
|
|

what's the difference between a thumbdrive and a portable usb ssd? does a thumbsized device shape factor really matter? 
|
|

Last I read, there is an actual difference between the two. Since neither have moving parts, they often get lumped together.

The original question was:
Quote: you wanted to buy a thumb drive today, where would you go in order to...
•[A] Maximize your convenience
•[B] Minimize your cost
You recommend store XYZ because of their SSD prices. It could have great prices on SSDs, but their thumb drives could be overpriced. Have you answered the original question?
|
|
|
|
|
yes.
as far as I understand it a thumb drive is a small portable storage. the shape format does not matter except being small. and that's exactly what I was talking about.
And I found this item excellent value for money to boot.

So, unless I'm missing something, you're saying a thumbdrive is, for all intents and purposes, interchangeable with an external SSD.
Consider that a thumbdrive is small enough to put in your pockets and carry around with you everywhere you go. An external SSD, not so much.
Different devices for different purposes.

this SSD is credit card sized! and about 4 mm thick! this slide easily in the pocket or in the wallet!
though, to be fair, it also need the connecting cable.... but it ain't much of a drag. and it's a 500GB SSD!

Show me someone carrying an SSD on a keychain and I'll shut up.
I've lost numerous thumbdrives and haven't cared too much in any instance; they're disposable at this point in time. SSDs? Not so much.
