    Question Will a new laptop be faster than my current one ?

    So what I need is to get the benchmaks of the laptops? As for hyperthreading, this is a way of making one core behave as 2? If that is the case, the core is not running twice as fast. Should that not be two threads working at half speed? Or is threading not the same as hyperthreading?

    I don't use the internal SSD as I use a memory stick to transfer the file form laptop to PC. The boot time is about 1 minute (8 seconds on my PC). SSD = 78G free of 245G. Maybe I am just used to a fast PC.

    Question Will a new laptop be faster than my current one ?

    Hi. I have an old ASUS A516J Laptop. It does take time to boot up compared to my PC which has a built in NVME drive with Windows 11. I was wondering if a newer laptop would be faster than mine as this is old technology. This is for home use only so I would not want to spend a lot on it as a...

    Question Macrium Reflect ?

    I can't as you can see from my screen shots. I can see the file but can not click on it. http://desmond-otoole.co.uk/Macrum-1.jpg clearly shows a red X against it. Maybe this is one for Macrum if there is any support out there.

    Question Macrium Reflect ?

    I have just created a bootable USB from Macrium Reflect. Problem. I had a 16G USB stick. After creating the bootable USB it is now only 0.99G. Used 691 meg, free 328 meg. What gives here? It said it needed to be formated first so I said OK.
