How to choose a computer

Understand Your Computing Needs

Choosing a business computer can be an intimidating task if you're not an expert. The following will help you get started:

• If you're operating a business from home, have a dedicated PC that someone else in the family isn't going to use when you need to get work done.
• Think about growth – be careful not to select a computer your new business will outgrow quickly. Investing in a computer with more capabilities (more memory, a faster processor, more hard drive space, etc.) will pay off in the long run.
• Do your research on business computers and software. Consult expert sources like CNET.

Once you've done some general computer purchasing research, you need to figure out exactly what your business needs. Like many parts of starting a new business, you can either do it yourself or hire an expert.
