Plain, simple words everyone can understand. Every effort making computer things available to more people -even in 2023- is a good thing and deserves a thumbs up!

[deborahhunt]

Thank you for making everything so simple! I am so glad I came across your channel!😊 I personally like a lap top, but you gave me some food for thought about possibly getting a desktop next time.

[dphorr]

Excellent approach. I have watched several of your videos and would feel comfortable referring my less techie family and friends to your content.

Life you, I have 30+ years of computer support under my belt. I know this stuff without even thinking about it. If I had to service my car engine, I would have to sell and buy a new one. 🙂

[KingdomRepublic]

Honestly i have over 10 years of experience with computers the only thing i didn't know about was all in one computers they are a mix between a desktop and laptop

Your video is very beginner friendly which a lot of channels don't do that, Awesome work mate.

Good simple explanation for those not tech savvy. I own several computers; as I love building desktops and sometimes sell to friends. For those with limited desk-space I recommend a mini PC that can be VESA mounted, so if it needs upgrading it can be done separate from the display, better than AIO and can be very powerful.
Also when buying a laptop - don't buy cheap you will be disappointed! Usually a mid grade works for many years i5/R5, 8-16Gb memory and 512Gb-1Tb ssd is a good start in 2023.
Keep up the great content.

Ive been searching for reviews on this AIO, and my question was answered 😊 it can over heat. Im planning to use it for work but seems like risky. I should consider desktop then.

Thanks computer guy.❤

[RANO_Cross]

This video is perfect! 👌 I am always asked for recommendations for computers from friends and family, but I can never explain the difference between the three well. I will definitely share your video.

[Deltasquadformingup]

As a laptop owner and owning both at a point I personally beleive laptops are all around best (but a lot of factors come into play ex: what models and customizations they are).

[michelleboyd]

Thanks for all that you do and for sharing much-needed knowledge. M

For the average user that must make a choice if your job does not involve travel, I recommend buying a desktop system. If you are away from home then maybe a laptop will work best. Of course, I use both. I use a self-refurbished Dell Latitude 3540. I use an M.2 SATA SSD in a case for my OS and I have a 2 TB SSD in a caddy in place of my optical drive. I have used that laptop for my job all over the world. One problem I have with laptops is the more they run the more dust gets clogged up on the small fans that blow over the heatsink. About every 8 months to a year I have to take my Laptop down and clean the fan. When I am at home my laptop is off unless I am copying work product to it for a job. So I won't get involved in any debates about what is best. For my purposes, I prefer a desktop. My laptop is just a work tool.

Hello,
I'm a senior citizen, but I have built and repaired a few computers since the 1990s. Additionally; I have been a hobbiest programmer for decades as well. I even sold two programs to local businesses.

My weak area is internet protocols. I have asked around and no one has been able to explain to me how when using WiFi at my local coffee shop while using a vpn AND going to a HTTPS address (online gun and ammo store) the WiFi STILL can identify and block my access to the URL. Other sites work fine (amazon, youtube, reddit etc.)

Can you explain to me how they are able to identify and block my access to a "forbidden" URL despite my use of both a VPN and HTTPS. Also how to defeat whatever they are doing?

I've thought about trying TOR over VPN or VPN over TOR, but before all that hassle I was hoping you could help me out.

Thank You

[jawvees]

Thank you sir 🦾💪🏾glad I found this channel

I don't like desktops because I always never have room on my desk to put the tower up and in the past, I hit my leg or knee on it. They take up too much space.

[petern.]

Would you get a Dell desktop or one made for you by a person who made a good one prior to this one which is 7 years old.

[garyjones]

what about mini pc's make a vid on them

[huggybear]

This is so informative, thank you. l think l have decided to buy a regular desktop that comes with the tower. Would you recommend Dell (as my current laptop is Dell)? Or do you have a particular brand you like the most?

[nickargeny]

I don't really know how to use, thinking of paying a it person to teach me I know the hardware. I just got my first pc to get back into gaming, I don't use the os just gaming but i will be using a 3d printer. I got a ryzen 9 7950x3d, 4090 gamers oc edition, 2x24gb 7200 dominator ram, 2 990 pros (4tb front fast 2tb back), b650i aorus ultra powered by a thermaltake 1050w gold certified power supply in a tower 200 black. I may have to rma my 4090 I know nothing and definitely need to follow your channel.

I like my desktop. Desktops for best value & support for the money. Because I can live a few hours or days without a pc if I have to while I am out. Laptops while convenient to a point, are too expensive & upgrade restrictive. All-in-one's are what I call a novelty pc, because like laptops they overheat easier, they can get expensive to not only buy but repair, the touch screen can get dirty fast, and they are a PITA to repair.

[leseditwala]

Hy sir I found the correct adapter and tried all the troubleshooting but still won't turn on but the white light on the back of my pc is on
