I'm after impartial advice from people who use their computers to run small businesses. Would be very grateful for any suggestions you can offer. I'm expecting to have a Windows computer bought for me but I don't want to ask for anything that's "over the top" as regards spec or price.
Currently, I mainly use my computer to produce documents, trawl the internet and pick up email and edit my website. In theory, I may also wish to produce Powerpoint presentations and spreadsheets, keep an electronic diary etc.
I understand I should get a Windows 7 computer loaded with Microsoft 2010 Pro (is this the standard spec for an ordinary business computer please)?
Can you advise me what would be "good enough" for my purposes as regards memory, speed, space on hard drives, peripherals (and anything else important) plse?
Are there makes of computer in my price range which are generally regarded as being more trouble-free than others? PM me please (lw@careers-partnership-uk.com) if you want to say "don't touch makes X or Y with a bargepole"! Thanks.
Yours hopefully, Linda
