We propose to make use of the Itwork guide, in which we will discuss the most important criteria for choosing good equipment.

1. Evaluating the processor

Regardless of whether a laptop or desktop computer is purchased, considering the choice of processor (CPU) is the first and typically one of the most important aspects, and this must be compared between your options. Currently, the most popular computer CPUs are from the companies Intel and AMD, however, these are not the sole options. Usually, a three-core CPU suffices for work, and four are even better.

2. Graphics card

Considering the choice of graphics card is also important, as this changes depending on what your work is. Of course, for those who do photo editing and design work, a good graphics card is a necessity, while for those working solely with Excel for example, it is not necessarily a priority. Usually, a graphics card of around 2GB suffices for work.

3. Computer memory

Of course, a good work computer must also feature good memory, and it does not matter whether you need numerous space consuming programmes or not. After all, it’s better for equipment to work efficiently, right?

Of course, you can currently place special drives into computers, such as solid state drives (SSD) and hard disk drives (HDD), but it is better to immediately purchase more powerful components so that you won’t not need extra space.

4. Battery life

If you often use your laptop to also work outside of the office in other locations such as on the train, in such a case, you need a long-lasting battery, which will not fail you at the last minute. Usually, alongside a specific computer, its specifications indicate fairly precisely how long the battery can last from 100 per cent charge. Of course, it wears down over the years, making it necessary to replace it.

5. Screen size

Finally, another important aspect when making your choice is the screen size. It would seem that browsing on a larger screen is far more convenient, but in the case where you often bring the computer with you, a device with a smaller screen would typically be more convenient. It also weighs less, so what you need will depend on your habits.
