By Sandra Perry


At this point in time you may be running a small business or just starting one. Productivity is now becoming an important issue for you and you have a mind to getting a business pc to assist you in becoming more productivity, and hopefully more profitable too. Prior to your going out and purchasing a new computer unit for you needs, do finish off this article so that you will know what exactly what to buy.

Buying a new computer should be considered a major purchasing decision so you will need a checklist. This simple checklist will ensure you have all the necessary basic information covered and known so that you will make the best decision or purchase possible. Never underestimate the power of the lowly checklist.

First off, try to gauge what kind of routine work you need to have done. Decide if you will be doing a lot of paper and document work, communications, computations, data storage or video and photo editing. Identifying beforehand what is your most routing work will determine the price point of the computer you want to buy.

Should you find that you may want to do a bit of everything as listed above, you may want to get a mid range priced computer something in the region of five hundred or more dollars. The computer should have at least 8 to 16 gb of ram and at least 500 gb or less of hard drive space. It should also have an i5 processor. Remember that the more storage space that a hard drive has, technically the slower that it will spin and thus slower processing times.

If your work will just consist of the occasional record keeping and clerical work and such, then a good entry level business computer will do and there are quite a wide range of models and brands to choose from. It may be good to check out forums for tips and advice if you are spoilt for choice.

Choose a brand that has a good reputation and proven track record, especially in durability. Get a good model that should last you at least 3 years or so before you need to replace it. It is also important to choose a brand or company that can give good after sales service and advice.

As the computer that you have a mind on will be used in running your business, it is never a good idea to sue it for anything else, like games for example. Games should never be played on a business computer as it may mess up certain setups and configurations, and in time make it run slower or even crash. Buy a separate computer for games.

In sum, this article has discussed some items of importance that you should consider before you go out and buy. There are of course other things to thing about and include in your decision checklist, so do go out and do more research if you feel the need to do so. Always get as much information as possible before making any purchase for anything.
