Best Windows Computer For Software Performance

This product worked without additional software needed on a Mac with the latest OS software installed, and on a Windows 11 computer with all of the latest updates applied. It works with both my USB A Mac adapter, the USB C connectors on my Mac, and on the USB A connections on my Windows computer. I am able to utilize an older synthesizer that I can now move around the home with ease and connect it to whichever device I need to (even my iPhone apparently).

The computer is used with Mediashout presentation software in a church, had to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10. The extra memory seems to speed up the computer with the Windows 10 OS

This is the fastest, coolest (temperature), and versatile computer I have owned. I have owned various MacBook Pro's (Intel era), iMacs and MacPros (cheese grate), so I know a little about OSX computers. I use Parallels sometimes to run Windows 11 Pro, and this computer does not disappoint. I use CT scans for work, and can seamlessly use the same software at work (Intel PCs with Nvidia RTX cards) vs. my ARM version Windows 11 Pro in virtual machine simulation. Manipulation of these 3D renders is comparable in speed (even though the software explicitly states that it was not optimized to use ARM chips). Haven't found anything that really slows it down. The computer is mostly cool all the time. The fans barely quick up, if at all, so it is really quiet.  But most importantly, I use this computer day in and day out, and most of the time I can use it all day for three to four days before it is down to the 20-30% range where I start feeling anxious and then I plug it in. Charge up is super quick as well -- I think less than an hour to fully charge to 100% from a really low state of charge. So this is the first computer that I feel comfortable calling portable since I don't have to worry so much about finding a plug somewhere. For sure, a well built solid machine. The only cons I have to report is the weight -- I put a clam shell clear protector (which was not that heavy), but I feel that this laptop could be used as a weapon to defend myself if I had to (like the really old IBM mechanical keyboards if you are from my generation). Also, I think there is a small defect on the edge of my screen in the super thin black surround frame which is a purely cosmetic annoyance. I didn't bother to claim warranty on this since I figure it does not really affect the computer's functions. Overall, I would buy it again, although I probably would wait for the M4 that is coming out soon. Kudos to Apple again for creating such a nice piece of hardware.

I purchased the ssd before upgrading to Windows 10 on an older computer. Unfortunately, since the computer is older I cannot vouch for this drives performance but I will say this. The Samsung software seamlessly cloned my tiny ssd to this one and the move to Windows 10 was good. If you haven't moved your operating system to an ssd yet you are missing out. Price is no longer an issue. The performance is worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 980 PRO NVMe SSD is the pinnacle of performance for memory. I remember the first time I used a computer with a SSD for the operating system and was blown away with the speed. The Samsung 980 PRO further improves the speed at which your computer can perform. My computer has a x570 motherboard and was able to take advantage of the speed gains from PCIe Gen4 and improves my game performance and file transfer speeds over my current SSD. The Samsung Magician software was great to clone the drive and use to maintain and monitor the Samsung 980 PRO. I appreciate the care put into thermal management through the software and thermal label because nothing slows down a PC than heat. I wish I could have tested on my PS5 but the SSD expansion port is disabled but will try it once it allows it.

Best one ever!!! Quality and performance are the best!!!

Best performance and value of money.

use in either hand. great to use with parallels software. able to right click in windows.

Best performance and durability

I could not upgrade the firmware from Godox through my windows 10. So after a computer professional looked over the situation said that Windows 10 would not recognize the upgrade due to the time Godox wrote the firmware upgrade. He used Windows 7 and the firmware upgrade worked.
