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 first thing to do is to prepare a checklist to use in your search. Many people nowadays do not use checklists, finding them too primitive and simple. But the truth is, that they are indispensable in making sure that have all the things you need to know and done at a very simple glance. You should not underestimate the usefulness of a simple checklist.

Try to figure out what kind of work you will be doing on the computer on a day to day basis. Classification of your work will be helpful in this regard if you can classify it as purely clerical and documentary, communications related work, or photo and video editing and such. Should you be able to do this, you will have a general idea of how much computing power you will need and how much it will cost you.

If upon completion of your task inventory you find out that you may need to dabble in a little bit of everything, then your best bet will be a mid range computer. A mid range computer will typically run an i5 processor or equivalent with around 8 or 16 gb of Random Access Memory, or RAM. It will also have at least a 500 gigabyte hard drive installed also.

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.

Buy a computer from a brand that is reputable and proven in the market place. Get from a manufacturer whose units are ones that can last for three years or more so you do not need to upgrade frequently. Also buy one from a manufacturer that has proven customer service guarantees and excellent after sales servicing.

Once you do have your business computer, it is never a good idea to play games on it, no matter how small a game it may be. This is because games can mess up the configuration settings of the computer so that it may not function properly later on. A rule of thumb is for you to get a new computer altogether that is dedicated to games if you really want to play.

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.
