Living in the distant future, we have remarkable technology. More Memory, Storage, and Processing power than we could ever need, want, or imagine. We even have the graphics chips integrated directly onto the CPU with specs unfathomable 25 years ago.
And despite all this, the software has gotten slower. There are delays when clicking/opening different windows, panels, and interfaces.
I've had junk computers running Windows 98 and XP that ran snappier than modern systems. What a joke.
I'm running a snappy fast 12 year old Dell Optiplex 7010 I bought used for $200. Put a 4tb SSD drive in it as primary drive after I nuked and repaved the shit Windows it came with, with Linux Mint.
It is screamingly fast. I can afford any computer made, so it's not all about price. Shit, I've basically already bought 4 or 5 macs and macbooks already for wife and kids - but this fits my needs perfectly and I can occasionally crow about it: like right now:-)
