What are your computer specs? Thread.

Since 2015:
i5 4460
2x 8GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix
Sapphire Pulse RX590 (since 2020, had a RX380 before)
27" 1080p@75hz VA Panel

As Win10 support ends in 2025 and the system doesn't handle Win11 with it's security shenanigans i seriously consider installing some Linux desktop next year as I don't see why i should dump the perfectly performing system. For private office and surfing Linux is perfectly fine and my gaming is 100% PS5 these days...

Same for my dad. He had Linux Mint some years ago on an old laptop and didn't even know. :D

The money i don't spend on a new system (plus the little money i could get by finally selling the RX590 I don't need) i plan to invest into a new Monitor as i tend to connect the PS5 from time to time when my wife is on the TV...

It's preeeetty good so far. Just been trying out CONTROL on Max with full ray-tracing settings, that game is very pretty for 2019. Also runs Forza Horizon 5 like a dream and Forza Motorsport (2023), though the latter looks very lacklustre even considering that.

Since fall 2018:
Acer Swift 1 SF114-32
Pentium N5000
UHD 605
4 GB RAM
256 GB SSD
Has been my daily since I bought it in 3rd Semester of my Bachelor's and it always has been a perfect device for university. In summer I'm going to start my PhD and during my Master's it already started to struggle with high data loads when doing data treatment with Origin. Still, I hope to use it for as long as possible as I never had any issues with it.

For about 2 years now:
iMac late 2009 27-inch
i7-920
HD 4850
12 GB RAM
1 TB SSD
My dad bought this new back in the day, in 2021 he switched to a M1 mac mini. He had no use for it, so I took it. I'm not the biggest fan of Apple, but I hate e-waste. Until a few weeks ago I had been using it with 8 GB RAM and the original 1 TB HDD on High Sierra, but it was pretty useless, especially since High Sierra doesn't recieve security support any more. Then I heard about Open Core Legacy Patcher, decided to upgrade to the current specs and installed Ventura. Works great now. As I'm getting into data treatment with R this might end up being my home office computer for the upcoming years. Pretty happy about it.

Apart from that I have some e-waste at home:

My dad's old Surface RT, where I installed Raspian OS out of curiosity, but it's still pretty useless

Samsung Galaxy Tab A6, my nephews old tablet that my father had repaired after my nephew broke it. My dad had no use for it so I took it. Sometimes I use it for reading papers and stuff, but most of the time it's just lying around.

My partner's old HP 17 inch laptop that has some weird lag issues with sound and mouse input despite re-installing Windows.
 
Upgraded about a months ago to a i9 14900KF, 8200mhz 48gb ram, and an Apex Encore motherboard. Still have the RTX 4090 and 49" curved screen from my previous upgrade.
