The Ultimate Workstation PC Buying Guide

Whether you're looking for a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device, we've got you covered. We'll show you what to look for when shopping for a new workstation.

The right computer will let you accomplish more at home and on the road. But before you buy, consider these factors.

Choose the Right Size.

A good rule of thumb is to choose a machine that's big enough to do everything you need it to do. If you plan to use your computer as a primary source of income, make sure you have enough RAM (Random Access Memory) to run multiple programs simultaneously. You also need enough hard disk space to store large files and documents.

Pick the Right CPU.

There are two main categories of CPUs: Intel and AMD. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Look at Memory Options.

If you plan to use your computer for more than just web browsing, then you should consider upgrading your RAM. This will allow your computer to run multiple programs simultaneously without slowing down.

Check out Storage Options.

You also need to make sure that your hard drive has enough space to store all of your files. A good rule of thumb is to allocate at least 20GB of free space per 1 GB of data stored on your hard drive.

Decide on Graphics Card.

If you plan to play games, you will need a graphics card with a minimum of 512MB of RAM. This will allow you to run multiple applications simultaneously without having to wait for one application to load before another can start.
