    I bought a 2014 Alienware 13 with Win 8.1 on it in 2015. Went to update to Win10 and Dell said they would not put drivers out for it. Win10 has built in drivers and Intel and NVidea rolled out driver support for my hardware. It was stupid.
    Not surprised. Mine had command center, their proprietary software to control fans, vents and lights. They thought they had me with that. Nope!

    Lots of updates for my Asus Z170 (Maximus VIII Formula) which is a bit surprising as I thought my model was "close to" EOL. I have LAN update dated 7/19, Wireless 7/24, chipset 7/19, sata 7/19, Bluetooth 7/24. Assume other Asus Z170 owners have updates too.

    Hey, Asus didn't forget about me, at least for now.

    You are going to get a BIOS update soon to address a HyperThreading bug in Intel microcode

    I have owned a couple of Dell desktops and they have been just fine. They are my laptop of choice, if I am not using my MAC.

    PC sales are declining because people can do what they need to on their phone and tablet. Many people don't need a full computer these days.

    I may be replacing my FX-6300 desktop with an Intel Skylake build and calling it a day. Been pondering getting a Ryzen 5 system but may just go with a 6700K build. I just bought a EVGA 970 4GB from a co worker and want to pair it to an i7. ( Best part is I got the card for $75.)

    Copiertech, I think you will be pleased. You should get a good boost out of a 6700K. It was a good buy on the 970 too.
