Looks like laptop prices are better there than here. Here, Core-i5 10th prosessor alone would cost 400 USD so can forget about finding a Laptop for less than 700 usd. haha. BTW why do you say you wouldn't want anything less than 10th Gen ? This only goes for laptops ? What's the reason behind this ? As for Desktop if you are not a gamer it can be a overkill. Year Before the last I got my self a desktop configured with both used and new parts. The processor was a basically 3rd Gen. Proformance wise its great. I didn't notice huge difference in machines with 6th gen processor or 7th gen. Well 10th Gen is long way from 3rd Gen so there should be a big difference.

Anyway I like that Asus model. Sounds good for the price. Does it come with both HDD and SSD for storage ?And How much RAM does it have ?
