Windows 10: Is it important to have new version of a laptop?

Good evening, I have HP notebook 15 ba002ne which is a very old version of a laptop which is between 2010 and 2015. Bought a new one HP victus 16 r0067ne which is 2023 version. I wanted to return it because i feel more comfortable with the old version no idea why.Got told not to return it because many softwares, games and web browser may not work on the old one in the future that will force me to buy a new version that will be more expensive than when i bought it today.I am nervous and confused, should keep it or return it and stay with the old version for web browsing and software?

Best laptop under $800??

Well the last one I suggested seems to be the best for 650$

What kind of quad.

I suspect you are at "the edge" of the power rating for the mainboard. Perhaps Q6600 wasnt listed due to TWO versions, C3 stepping at 105W and G0 stepping at 95W. Furthermore, if you OC the G0 Q6600 then it will use more than 95W. Since Q9300 is on a 1333 buss, then perhaps the BIOS doesnt give you scope to OC it, keeping it well withing the 95W envelope.

My suggestion is, if the mainboard is important to you and you dont want to blow the power regulators or caps, to NOT OC the Q6600. Take the thing out of design spec (by OC'ing it) and you may very well rapidly reduce the half-life of your board.

Also, as erocker suggests, there are 65W quads out now. I think those are better suited to this mainboard.

Good luck.
