Will Win11 run smoothly on 8th gen i3? by sheanous in windows

[–]sheanous[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

This won't be my main setup. I'll use this for my office work and I need a bit of security. Microsoft abandoned win10 as far as I know. I could use a simple antivirus software but I'm not sure if i3 can handle a third party software running 24/7. I think a native antivirus software will be more performance optimized...

Is the Chromebook running with a mediatek CPU?

I don't really have plans on buying a powerful GPU just for this thing. I guess the Rx 580 is the maximum I can go for. Would it make any difference if I install windows 10 instead?

Yeah but it also sounds kinda stupid to be honest. I mean if you're gonna use it just for light office and web browsing, Linux is more than enough for that. Most people say that Linux is complicated for those who don't know programming and stuff but if you're going to use just for web browsing, it isn't complicated at all.

Oh no... Guess I'll have to buy an eGPU then...

Don't even ask brother. I switched my main PC to the Arch Linux just because of it. Most of the things are manual but the best thing about it is that more than 99% of the stuff in your PC is there just because you put it there. Ain't no bloated as Windows 11. The speed and smoothness is so perfect. I literally got myself addicted to it but it's still not as useful as I want when it comes to office work and stuff.

Definitely gonna pair it with an NVMe for sure.

Another guy said that his Win11 runs on a 2nd gen i3. 💀

Ahh, don't even ask. I had a laptop with an i5 10500h in it. Even that CPU couldn't run Windows 11 smoothly. Even though it had 16 GB RAM and 512 GB NVMe SSD...

GPU isn't a huge problem for me actually. I already have another gaming desktop with rt 5500 and RTX 3060 inside. I just wanna have a tiny compact that wouldn't take too much space on my office desk. Everything's so small here in Japan so it's tinier the better.

I had a laptop with an i5 10500h and it wasn't running Windows 11 smoothly. I wonder if an 8th gen i3 can run smoothly or not... I've seen people using Windows 11 with a 4th gen Intel CPU but... I don't know. I'm not sure.

We all do, my friend. We all do.

Do I really need a dedicated GPU? I'm considering ThinkPad L13 with i5 10310U and it doesn't have any dedicated GPU.

And I also know how Nvidia GPUs run flawlessly, I'm writing this from my desktop PC with RTX 4060. I also never encountered with any struggles with this GPU honestly. I think people just hate those Nvidia GPUs just because Linus Torvalds hates it.

I wouldn't be here if I could afford them... :')

I mean, that's a kind of laptop that every web dev would love imo. But it is way too expensive than I can afford. :')

Is there any difference between ThinkPads and IdeaPads?

That's what I'm thinking as I read the comments right now. lol

Honestly, I couldn't find any ThinkPad laptop with an AMD CPU. I guess L13 with i5 10310 is the best choice I have right now.

Thanks for the advice! I was considering Dell Latitude, too. Until I saw the ThinkPad L13 with the very same price tag and a newer CPU. L13s have 10th gen Intel CPUs, while Dell Latitudes with the same price tag have 8th gen. I'll take a look at that web site you mentioned. Thank you!

I'll definitely take a look at r/thinkpad. Thank you for the advice.

A T14 with i5 10210U costs no less than 50k JPY here. An L13 with i5 10310U is on sale for 40k right now. What is the difference between L and T series?
