    nice idea but on my AMD A6 5200 (equivalent to an i3) it killed it.
    How much memory? SSD drive?

    Its not an issue with 48gb ram, Xeon processor and the faster m2 drive you can buy (yes I'm just being awkward).

        8gb memory

        spinning rust.

        as I say no cortana makes it as fast as any other PC I use.

        Turn cortana on and I have to wait as I type.

        I'm not upgrading because M$ want to turn junk on.

          Get a Mac, if you can afford it.

            More likely a malware than Cortana.

              only thing I changed was switching off Cortana. Suddenly the PC was usable again.

                why everything I use is on Windows. Mac is lovely as a statement but if you want to test & use software then you need M$.

                I have Linux etc on my virtual server.

                  Were they building machines of the spec I needed I would be. Until the new ones come out I will live with the Dell I bought in April when the macbook could no longer cut it.

                    Never use it and never noticed any performance change but it was running as a process. Ended task.
