Oh, no problem! I often am webless for days, will likely be tomorrow (planning to on a day-trip with my family) and in the past, sometimes so tied up with work that I was FR-less for months!
What machine did you get, if I might ask? Most of the deals I’m seeing on Amazon are for machines out of my budget range.
I myself am still hunting for a cheapy-as-possible Win 11 (pref Win 11 Pro) machine for wifey. Really, the most it has to run well is LibreOffice.
I purchased the https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9F6PKZ5 in the early morning right after Prime Days started for $373. The “normal price” for this is $407. It is identical to the Bosgame M4 with the same AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0F5PGXYLF which is $417. If I hadn’t got the sale price of $373 I would have chosen the identical Bosgame unit because they are the 2nd largest mini-PC distributor and have very good customer support.
These are expensive compared to the cheaper units with earlier generation Ryzen processors. I have two of them which I spent approximately $120 for a piece. I would recommend them as well because they are very capable machines for the money. The Ryzen 7 7840HS is in a different league altogether and is more powerful than many Ryzen processors in the 8th generation.
In the mini-PC form factor it has some advantages over the Intel Core i7-13700HX in my gaming Laptop although it is limited in the maximum wattage that it can consume. The iGPU is far more capable than the one in the intel processor. This machine actually will run MSFS 2024 with acceptable performance at medium settings without a powerful GPU. This is quite amazing to me but might be overkill for your wife. I may attach an Nvidia RTX 3060 12
GB to it through its oculink port and then it will be about as capable as my gaming laptop for flight simulators and more capable for advanced AI apps and serving.
