00:00today I'm gonna talk about computers that you can upgrade yourself I myself
00:10most of the computers I have are used computers computers I mainly bought and
00:17refurbished myself and I encourage people to do that to both eliminate
00:24e-waste and more so to save themselves money if you let's say you have a family
00:33if you have kids or in your family you can definitely pass old computers but and
00:45refurbish them yourself you know and make you know and of course here where also I
00:53talked about putting the right operating system mainly Linux on those computers
00:59however if you are in the market in to buy and you want to buy a brand new
01:06computer here are few companies that allow you to have computers that are Linux
01:20based open source based cater to Linux and so they won't glitch and you don't
01:29have to configure them and also some of those companies build those computers in
01:36a way where you can upgrade them so you literally have to make an investment that
01:43might last you for a decade or more unlike more many of them new computers where
01:50everything is soldered together this way those companies force you to buy the
02:00computer every few years especially when they stop the support mainly and all the
02:07the operating system main operating system Mac Windows and Chrome OS usually they they
02:17will change the requirement and stop the update for the new for the new operating
02:28system and making those computer obsolete and of course the demands or the
02:36browsers mainly most people use computers to connect to the internet the
02:42browser require a lot of power and memory and processing power so eventually your
02:54computer become obsolete but if your computer is upgradable you
02:59definitely will will extend the life of your computer which mean extended extending
03:07your money extending the power of your wallet so let's start so the best
03:13best computer in my opinion thus far is system 76 system 76 is based on the idea that you you
03:32have a very well-made and robust computer that is upgradable and also have use
03:43use use an open source operating system they offer you to use their brand their own on pop os which
03:57is also an open source operating system so you can modify it but or they allow you to
04:05have a Ubuntu and I think they will your warranty won't be voided if you change that
04:12because if you are I read somewhere in the site they mentioned that their
04:20computers are I guess you can say on the high-end but really and they are not you
04:27know like they are in the high-end computers they have thousand five hundred
04:30those are the cheapest computers they have 4000 computer here but they are even the
04:41cheapest computers they have they are very powerful you know 16 core CPU batteries nine hour battery you know the the 14 inch they have
04:59the 14 hour battery 8 terabyte and under what five between 500 between 56 and 96 gig of RAM so and yes and or even with that you can still upgrade those computers if if you need more but like you really if you have
05:29a computer like that you're probably gonna have have this computer for decades before it
05:37will be obsolete the computer itself is aluminum and it is a powerful computer I may one day buy
05:47one of those computers I don't own any one of those computers because I have many but if I
05:54ever end up working on AI models or or if I have to compile big programs you know which I don't do that I will definitely probably look for the computer from system 76 this is
06:22a set another us-based company that is going to focus that's the name and they
06:31have it's similar in price you know I guess a little bit cheaper some of it is a
06:39little bit cheaper have it's only three all aluminum body computer which you don't see
06:47anymore this is the cheapest one and so to have six hour battery eight terabytes
06:56yeah so it is not bad let's see look at the here we go oh it is a low power Intel so
07:07it doesn't suck a lot of power I'm not really familiar with this you know it is
07:19also Linux I think it come with Ubuntu I think this one
07:28there are a few that are like in based in Europe and Germany for example I forgot
07:34this one is from Europe somewhere the price is not bad I mean but it is a
07:42standard computer so it have a standard price no it's a full core it's only from
07:53the UK and let's look at that what's the name of the company I forgot
08:04star book that's the name of the company up star book computers you know so I think
08:21this is a
08:23this is another company that
08:29from Germany you know I I do not know anything about those companies how good they are but I
08:41know system 76 and kubuntu but I thought I'll show other options you know like this one oh deep
08:51computing deep computing deep computing I think this is a British company the
08:57prices on these computers they are come they come with Ubuntu the prices on those
09:03computers are not bad but you know they are typically of course so 8 core 202
09:15gigahertz so like they they don't use a lot of power but they are at air core they come with Ubuntu
09:23or for and Fedora I actually will I don't know I have miss makes feeling about about Fedora I like
09:30Fedora but and but I like budgie and Fedora mean the main Fedora doesn't work for me for some reason
09:41yeah so one one so it is a little bit respects on this is is one one terabyte which is very plenty enough for
09:52for many many people you know memory I guess you can choose between 8 and 16 you know so
10:04but it is it is a I guess let's say we can call it a consumer type you know a computer let's look at the product
10:21let's look shopping here see what it say
10:23okay
10:31okay
10:46we have what is it well
10:49I thought I looked at the store maybe here we go let's look at the store
11:00AI computer I'll stay out of that I guess
11:05well let's click on it okay not buying now the prices are not bad
11:11I'm sure the shipping is a little bit expensive but the prices are 600 look at this this is like a
11:24very small the prices are really very competitive prices really Walmart prices so but they are not
11:33they are not they seem like to be better than a Walmart computer but with the same prices
11:40this is a company that a framework this is a company that is not really uh care about the operating system
11:50this is a company that allow you to buy a computer that you build yourself so you will make sure when
11:57you do that you will make sure that you have a you have a computer that is upgradable
12:05this is more for somebody who want to tinker with things I definitely not ruling this one out myself
12:16you know if I am in the market of to shop for the new computer
12:21uh framework so let's so reminder to myself framework is a good place to go to shop for a new computer
12:33uh especially if you want a computer that you can build yourself and upgrade
12:40uh system 76 is uh system 76 is a computer that you can upgrade yourself and it comes with ubuntu as well
12:52a very robust uh cubuntu focus is uh it's only alpha 3 for varieties but these computers are well made and
13:03uh and uh and uh and and and really allow you to to do whatever you want with them uh so
13:17just so buying a computer to wrap this up buying a computer is in this day and age is require you to
13:33probably do more research because more and more you are there are computers that you can't upgrade
13:42and uh to the next demand of software that's probably needed for for example memories and hard drives
13:55many of them are are soldered on the computer on uh on the motherboard it used to be i have one of the
14:05uh old computers that are refurbished uh last year or this year maybe you know beginning of this year
14:14i think i did that was a computer 20 year old computer and it allow you that computer allowed you
14:23it was a dead latitude but it was a 2008 or 7 the latitude but it allow you to even change the cpu
14:34swap the cpu so it gives you all kind of control which is amazing and it was it's built of a metal zinc metal alloy
14:48it's beautiful computer i had to i refurbished it for myself actually and uh i today this morning i
14:59used it and i enjoyed it and i enjoy every time i use it i enjoy it you know and too bad that more and
15:05more the quality of computers are dropping if you have a computer like that like the one i told you
15:13that you can fix and refurbished and all this this computer will last you you know well in this case two
15:23decades a two almost two decades a year old computer run as good as a windows computer can you imagine so
15:34stay vigilant when you make those choices and this way you can have a computer that you can you know use
15:45for a long time or repurpose because it will remain uh usable so you can give it to your kids
15:55and all this and it's all about saving money and and preventing waste both ecological waste and waste of your resources
16:07and when when when we do this consumers we are setting the standard so for example if i'm in the in the market to
16:22buy a new computer i definitely rather buy system 76 computer you know or you know that i may pay
16:33you know 500 more than an average computer but it's a computer that's so powerful and allow me to upgrade
16:45it in in the future if i need to and this computer will will last with me for for for like a decade or more
16:56at least so stay vigilant and hopefully this video is helpful have a good day
