Hello, for some time now my PC has been very slow when browsing the net. I thought the internet was slow, so I switched to fiber, but there is still a problem with slowness. We found that the problem comes from my computer, so I bought remote support to repair my PC because I tried everything to clean and wipe my PC but in vain. And the gentleman told me that my PC has a weak processor and I need to replace it and buy another computer. Is it true that there is a relation? Note that I have the ASUS X552E / memory 8G / OS WIN / HDD 1TB / AMD DUAL CORE e1-2100 1.0 GHz. If I really need to change the PC, is a desktop PC better and cheaper than a laptop? If so, which brand can help me surf the net and enjoy fiber? Thanks in advance for your response.

"Is a laptop or a desktop better to enjoy 1G/s"
It's theory, not sure that even with fiber you have that speed.
You can't measure your real fiber speed with your PC because it blocks at 100.
In the end we only know that your PC is weak, but since you're not sure whether it's always been slow or if it's recent, we also don't know if a virus or something else is responsible.
(in case it happened "suddenly")
Price/performance ratio /
At the same price, a desktop will be more powerful than a laptop.
logic you don't pay for the fact that it's small, with a battery and portable ...
But less practical to move ;-)

Possible without purchasing to consider:
> analyze your PC and check that there are no issues or fix them if there are.
Lighten up the operation by disabling possible software running in the background.
Updates in progress that would slow it down.
Etc ...
But if it's the PC's own specifications that correspond to your idea of slowness, we risk doing it without noticeable improvement in the end.

> buy an external Gigabit Ethernet card
Like this one for example

Just make sure to get USB 3 and 1000Mbps (a gig and not a 100)
You'll be more limited by internet speed, but it doesn't guarantee that the basic slowness of your PC isn't the real issue.
The slowness is something only you can perceive
If it's always been like that, it's probably your PC given these characteristics.
If it suited you well before and not anymore, it's likely a functioning issue to look at.-
In addition, buying a PC cannot be based on a brand.
It's more complex and requires looking at many elements (CPU frequency, ethernet card, wifi, graphics card ...)
In terms of purchasing, you should state your budget and the intended use of the PC.
(roughly, for internet use you don't need a super PC, for gaming or video/photo editing you need a good PC) -
