Upgrading to new computer

Thanks for a lot of laughs from the "experts" above. Get into a big store with a lot of brands like Lenovo, Toshiba, etc. and notice that HP has the dimmest monitors (they're not buying parts from Samsung obviously) on the market. Remember that like autos, computer builders only have so many companies to purchase parts from, so there's a lot of similarity inside. Ford vs. Chevy? The edge as always goes to Intel. AMD will get you down the road, but you won't get the same performance apples to apples. Windows 10 is an improvement of Windows 8.1 is an improvement of Windows 7 is an improvement of Windows Vista...Get the picture? Keep your computer from running slow with software like Webroot or Kaspersky (read your Consumer Reports) and you'll get performance and value like your old '08. Cheers!
