The specs are shown just need a desk lol.
I’m planning to use an extension lead to plug in what is needed but I don’t have a wired connection to the router - does this matter anyway? As I see I’ve got integrated WiFi also.

Intel 13th and 14th Gen confirmed defective
So there's been a lot of upset gathering steam on the inter webs with intermittent games crashes on Intel 13th and 14th gen. Workarounds range from underclocking to disabling ecores. BUT, there are a lot of people finding that simply disabling hyperthreading is a proper solution. The findings...
