    Default Looking 4 Business Desktop Suggestions

    Hey there I'm about to take off a personal business in the near future. I was looking into a nice desktop. I want something up to date
    (2010 - 2012 model), speed/space is my main concern but i don't need to have a ridicolous amount of gb's due to it just being used for work and same goes for speed, just want to be able to browse dfast and have good video connection. (yay for run on sentences) Anywhoo price range would be $700 max any suggestions?

    Take your pick from that list. NCIX is the best for price and the computers they give you. I personally would buy every computer from them, if it wasnt for the fact they dont ship to Ireland.


    Here's a video on one of their workstations.

    Stay far far away from Dell, HP, etc. (I mean stay away from their websites)

    If it is for work then I would highly recommend a Lenevo laptop. If you want a "desktop experience" then buy a monitor, keyboard and mouse and plug them in.

    There is no reason to have a huge box sitting on your floor if you can help it. Laptops are also a little easier to throw under your arm in case you need to move it.
    Wise is the guest's eye.

    This. Get an L or T series Thinkpad (not an Edge), a dock, throw in a monitor, keyboard and mouse and you get a pretty decent workstation that you can use on the desk and if you need to take it walkies, you push a button and the laptop pops out and you take it walkies, drop it back in the dock when you're done and you're back to work. Lenovo Support is good and you can customize them pretty well, and provided everything's available they shop quick too: I ordered a Thinkpad T530 on the 14th in the evening, it was built on the 15th, shipped on the 18th (weekend in between) and has actually spent most of its time going through customs and being passed onto the local couriers to be shipped onto me.

    If you want to go laptop way if you can you might be able to pick up a AMD Quad Core , 2.0GHz, 8GB DDR3 , 700GB HDD, 15.6" screen for around $700.

    If you must go with a desktop I would highly recommend building your own desktop for the job. Building your own can save you money vs buying pre-buit ones. I saved around $200 to $300 ordering the parts and building my own gaming rig vs buying it pre-built. Also knowing the specs of each part in your computer is alot better if and when you have to or chose to upgrade parts in it.

    For business, I would never reccommend building yourself unless you can cope with any issues that arise. Go for a Lenovo or Dell, get an onsite, next day warranty at least, and you're good should things go pearshaped.
