Clients ask us all the time what computer to buy. Our advice: buy for the long run. Spending a little more up front on a solid machine usually means more years of reliable work and fewer surprises.
Workstations: buy current-generation processors and solid-state (NVMe) storage. Last year’s model often costs more over its life.
Servers: build in redundancy. Mirrored drives, a spare and solid backups keep you working when a part fails.
Networks: business-class routers and switches pay for themselves in fewer outages.
