    • Iggemo on 08/11/2021 - 21:19

      is it worth upgrading to win 11?

      • jv on 08/11/2021 - 21:20

        Yes, if it's free.

        • Borg on 08/11/2021 - 22:50

          No, I wouldn't upgrade. Looks awful especially no way to group items in start menu or create shortcuts on taskbar or link files to software…….the list goes on. Ok, I like to have control over how my Desktop, taskbar and start menu are laid out so Win11 is not for me. Perhaps down the line they might give back control???

          • Silent-zai on 10/11/2021 - 13:02

            @Borg: I used it since preview and went back to windows 10 last week. the preview channel was buggy although I was using it on a i7-5600u so its technically not supported but in my opinion just try it out and if its too buggy for you, report the bugs and then revert back to 10.

      • Chmmr on 13/11/2021 - 16:16

      NAS, HTPC, Home automation, Home lab, and for less demanding everyday computing (e.g: browsing, word processing), just about anything that doesn't require a very high end CPU or a GPU (like AAA gaming, quick turnaround for content creation workflows etc..)

    • RedHab on 09/11/2021 - 07:08

      Pretty much everything most people do with a normal PC or laptop or Raspberry Pi, excluding modern gaming, heavy number crunching, big VM hosting and low wattage applications.

      Sadly PCs haven't advanced very quickly in the last 12 years.

    • Luigi Savadamoni on 08/11/2021 - 20:42

      I recently bought a PC from their Ebay site and unfortunately it was DOA. Sadly, Fuse Tech never responded to my messages and I had to escalate to Ebay, who arranged return postage and eventually got me a full refund. Not saying that all their PCs are dodgy but based on my experience their after sales service definitely needs to improve…As a result, I'm unlikely to buy from them again.

        Hey Luigi,

        Dam a DOA sucks , but in transit it can happen. As for service we have improved a lot on our backend service so we can minimise any issues despite the large order volume

          Dam a DOA sucks

          What sucks more is when a seller won't respond to your messages…

          • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 09/11/2021 - 07:29

            @jv: Correct, was surprised too see this message , but can be corrected in future!

          Hopefully you have improved your service since I received my refund (which, by the way, was last week)..You're not wrong about what can happen in transit, particularly given the poor packaging the PC was in.. Anyway, thanks for your response, it's the first I've received from Fuse Tech. But to be honest, I'm not sure what you were trying to say and who you were trying to convince…. Nevermind…

          • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 09/11/2021 - 07:33

            @Luigi Savadamoni: Hey Luigi,

            It is an online forum which everyone can read hence my response, so I'll do my best to make sure any issues are forwarded to the team and fixed moving on.

    • rkinaus on 08/11/2021 - 20:45

      Thank you . Issue sorted. Apologies. I made a click and collect order

    • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 08/11/2021 - 21:05

      Hey, if you know your order number I'll be able to check that for you, also be sure too check if you haven't accidentally selected click and collect instead of shipping (this has happened without people realising and still waiting on a PC)

      I’d question whether those pictures are representative of what will be received. There is no mention of DVI, a dedicated GPU or a WiFi card in the listing, yet all are in the pictures. I expect they’re just file photos.

      I recently purchased the definitive edition when it went on sale. The normal 2013 version was fine on any device I ran on. This de is a beast. I tried to run it on a think pad (e590) it can’t handle small battle. Lags like hell. I have disabled all the bells and whistles and dropped all the settings to low. No use. A good gpu & 16GB ram is a must I bet. I am not in to pc gaming.So, I am not sure about apt cards and stuff. But I am also looking for a laptop that could play this game.

    Also, can the RAM be upgraded to 16GB?

    • greatlamp on 08/11/2021 - 21:42

      You will need either a USB wifi or PCI E wifi card.
      It would be pretty straightforward to add ram, look for used DDR3 ram. Maybe Op will even sell upgrades if you ask. Around $50-$60 for 8gb is a good price

      • AssociatedFuseTechAu @ FuseTech AU on 08/11/2021 - 21:48

        Message through , we have limited stock hence no upgrade but we could squeeze some extras If you ask the techs nicely!

        • Kinko82 on 08/11/2021 - 21:55

          Hey FuseTechAu!

          What do you mean you can squeeze some extras if I ask the techs nicely?

          I don’t follow what you mean.

    • Presence on 08/11/2021 - 21:42

      Buy a USB wifi dongle for $29.

      Yes you can upgrade ram. I think it's 4 slots and DDR3 is pretty cheap.

      Yes it's perfect for that.

      I have a 3470 with 16gb and a 1050ti and it flies through any office type tasks.

    • TextGoesHere on 08/11/2021 - 21:45

          being 1000 behind might be better than being 40 behind.

  • huntingforbargainz on 08/11/2021 - 22:17

    I tried to see the price difference between with WIFI USB and without WIFI USB. I noticed that with WIFI USB the price is cheaper by $10. Is this an error in pricing?
