I'm not a fan of integrated PC's purely due to any upgrades or problems you may have in the future. If one part of it blows up after warranty period your stuffed.

I'd buy a nice monitor, nice Vesa monitor arm and one of the small PCs that bolt to the rear of monitors. Easy to change and upgrade the PC then and keep the nice monitor.

I like shuttle PC's.

I've had Dell in the past and they have always been good but they seemed to have less of a market influence these days.

I gotta say I hate apple stuff. Just can't use it as I'm not used to it. And have no intention of ever wanting to. I fiond windows does everthing I need, as a regular user.
I'd be very wary of Windows 10, there's no such thing as a free lunch and you'll be paying for it somehow. I'd check the privacy settings as they're probably data mining you like google does.

I got a Dell XPS laptop in 2009 and it's still going now, my brother's got it. It came with a 5 year warranty and in the 5 years it had a new motherboard, hard drive, WIFI card, two DVD drives and a screen.

Have to say the service was great, you phone up and they send an engineer next day with the part to either you home or work address.

They normally sell (google do) what sites you visit, where you travel to and products you search for etc. Have you noticed a recent increase in penis development emails?

Yep!

Just did a search on Window 10 and found this

http://governamerica.com/news/20484-win ... -must-read" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not that much different than google with the exception of this line which I'd be quite concerned about. Recon I'll stay with Window 7

Because Windows 10 is set up to allow all this data collection by default, disabling data collection (where it is even possible to do so) will also disable most of the features that are the main selling points of the operating system. In addition, it is an arduous and time-consuming process involving going through at least 13 different screens in the privacy settings.
I'm still sticking with Window 7, it does everything I need it to do and very reliably.

For reference, this is what's needed to deal with all of the Windows 10 privacy issues

I also noticed that it stops Malwarebytes from updating. I soon sorted that out.

Ironically I've just received on email from Microsoft inviting me to update. I fired up Windows and got a message that there were 134 updates, the antivirus opened explorer and offered me a deal, DriverMax told be 7 of my drivers were out of date and tuneup utilities said my registry was due a defrag.

I switched it off!

I tried windows 10 this week but it caused so many problems with my laptop I switched back. It kept crashing roughly once an hour and most of my software wouldn't move over including things like Microsoft office which was a deal breaker as I don't want to buy it again.
