Yeobh 4th Gear April 14, 2015 Author Share April 14, 2015 Lenovo only? There are so many options when it comes to PC. Will consider other makes - no problem so long it's dependable and with 3 years on-site service/repairs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vid Hypersonic April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 Will consider other makes - no problem so long it's dependable and with 3 years on-site service/repairs. For me I just buy parts. Most Asus parts got 3 year warranty. My router and graphics card died before and I got 1-1 exchange. Not on-site though. If you want service reliability, then any major brand like Dell, HP also can already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilluaX 1st Gear April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 What do you plan to use the computer for? Just some editing of excel sheets? If so, just make sure you keep multiple copies of your files. (E.g. 1 copy in your hard drive, 1 copy in your portable disk.) When the computer kaput, just buy a new one. Nowadays, the business-grade onsite support is way more expensive than the computer itself... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been doing business from home since 1997, so far I have use probably more than 5 desktops and three laptop computers. Updating my company's website, editing prices , stock lists via excel sheets, prepare online invoice, send both PDF and Jpeg product flyers and from time to time use MS Publisher to generate product flyers.

Angcheek Hypersonic April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 But a desktop will still be cheaper right? Not really sure about the prices of these kind of computers. yes. Desktop will be cheaper. But AIO is not exactly a Desktop . Desktop got more CPU power but not mobile. Lappy the other way round. AIO is no 3 no 4 . Depend on how much power you need for ur lappy. If just simple web and document editing, basic lappy will be fine , estimate abt 1k to 2k . If you need to do images , Mac will be better. If you need disk speed , go for those with SDD. full or hybrid is fine. Have been doing business from home since 1997, so far I have use probably more than 5 desktops and three laptop computers.
