Things To Look For In Buying A Business PC

By Daniel Kennedy


It seems that you are in the market right now for a computer, now that you have started your own business. In starting your own business you have thought of the advantages of being organized and automating standard tasks, and so you are looking for a decent business PC. However, prior to purchasing one, it may be a good idea to read this first.

A good thing to do first is to make yourself a little checklist in your search. Many will scoff at this idea as being too simplistic, but one should never undermine the usefulness of this little management tool. It is a great tool still being used by many today in making sure no stone is left unturned in terms of information and actions needed.

To start off your list, figure out what you will be doing on a regular day to day basis. Determine if you will be doing purely communications and clerical work, business calculations and such or even photo editing and video work. Once you are able to do this, you will get a general idea of how much power you need in your computer and how much you will need to spend.

Should after your task inventory you find that you need the computer for almost all of the tasks above, then you should go for a mid range one. A mid range business computer will usually have an i5 processor running at 8 to 16 gb of Random Access Memory with around a 500 gb hard drive. This kind of unit will set you back around five hundred or more dollars.

In the event that on the other hand you feel you will be needing a computer mostly for clerical and data entry jobs, then a decent entry level computer will do for you. These will set you back at around three hundred dollars more or less. Many manufacturers compete at the entry level market so you will find that you have plenty of models to pick from at this price range.

It is also a good idea to buy a computer from a brand that is reliable. It must have proven unit longevity in the market, at least three years or more and also a proven track record. The track record in this instance meaning good customer service relations and operations as well as good after sales services.

On top of all of this, you should never play games on a business computer should you get one. It is better to get a totally different unit for playing games if you plan on playing games on it also. This is because games have default settings and configurations that may affect the proper functioning of the unit.

Thus this short article has shown some basic considerations that you should take into mind before you buy that next or first business computer of yours. There are of course other things to consider, but definitely what has been covered should provide a good foundation as a start to your overall decision making and choice.
