A brand new laptop I bought this year can't run Windows 10, the system is basically unusable. Not a cheap laptop, either, it was one of the more expensive ones. It runs Ubuntu no problem. All of Microsofts products seem to have latency issues, and I still can't figure out for the life of me why it takes longer to open a file in Visual Studio or in Word on my gaming desktop than it does to load a current year $60 video game. I wish designers focused what they call "gamefeel" in video games: how quickly, clearly, and satisfyingly does the program react to user input.
Edit: on the other hand, computers do start up a heck of a lot faster than they used to.
- bumholio 8y agoI'm typing this on a 5 year old netbook that had cost me $300 back then with 2GB, which I later upgraded to 4GB. It runs Windows 10 very smoothly, it's my living room TV computer for browsing, torrenting (up to 1080p) etc. At this time I'm running Firefox, Chrome, VLC and uTorrent seeding and performance is decent, certainly not "unusable".
