Wife's looking to upgrade to a new PC for her home bookkeeping
business. I know most automatically think of Dell, but is there a
better place to get good PC's? She doesn't do audio or video app's,
so audio & video cards can be basic. She does run multiple screens of
accounting software (along with a browser & Excel) at any one time,
which tend to be memory/resource hogs.
Any recommendations?
Support your local Mom & Pop computer shop so someone
will be there to answer the phone when she needs help.
There is one in town who are supposedly knowledgeable and have been
there a while; mostly deal in refurbs. Problem is, they are
apparently dicks to deal with, which makes CS an issue.
Well, I'm definitely not in favor of supporting *that* kind of
small business...
Much depends on you and your wife's level of skill and whether
or not you think you might need tech support. If you're reasonably
clued in, you might not need help. Warranty support for hardware
issues is something else to consider. Vendor reputation in this area
is probably worth researching. I have no specific recommendation
for PC vendors as far as warranties, but I've never waited longer
than a couple of days to get Apple equipment fixed under warranty
and I've yet to have issue with their phone support.
