In my search for a new laptop I posted this one just here…
I am checking all new features of new models.
New Intel processors seem promising (10th generation), but no solutions until now with H class processors (the fastest) outside gaming machines. Too big and expensive.
Keeping an eye open for new things coming out.
My experience is that good machines getting old (as my 4 years aged i7 Asus) would be perfectly right, but software drivers for cabled or aerial network, can be old and give latency problems.
In my machines NDIS drivers were always responsible for dangerous latency.
New machines are always better, because drivers are mantained.
This was my experience with an old Sony Vaio (latency on NDIS after Win10) and my current Asus.
