I learned that lesson, but not soon enough. Especially when it comes to Newegg. They tend to push a lot of shotty products. I’m assuming it’s because they make more per unit sold and I can’t fault them for this. It’s the consumer who suffers.
Someone above mentioned to stick w/ Intel CPUs. I can only assume they don’t follow the computer market because Intel is really hurting due to AMD lately. They are a better value and everything is perfectly stable. Normally I’d say to stick to Intel for laptops but even on that front AMD’s latest offerings are solid and are going to take a big chunk of Intel’s market share as more OEMs start using their chips. A lot has changed since AMD launched Ryzen in 2017. And it’s only benefited the end user since prices have fallen and more cores are available.
