PC for running Accounts
 

Thinking about investing in a new PC to operate my accounts. Need some ideas of PCs/Laptops/Tablets, etc. that are working well for others.

It would be nice to operate my accounts while on the go.

What do you guys use?

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

I use several laptops.
My favorite is the Samsung Series 9. Top of the line configuration.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Lenovo K450, kind of expensive but extremely fast & reliable

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

I use 2 x Asus X550C - Cannot fault them

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

1st, tell us what kind of set up or computer you currently use.

I had a HP elitebook 8460p but I upgraded to a Levono y410p. The HP is built like a tank, its a business grade laptop, but its very heavy for a 14 inch laptop. So I upgraded to a y410p, much lighter but it has so much plastic.

The HP was much slower than the Lenovo processor wise but both have a SSD hard drive. The SSD hard drive really makes both laptops shine, it makes switching from user account to user accounts much faster.

If you dont have lots of funds, get any cheap laptop. Even one from a Core duo days, install a SSD drive and that should work just perfectly.

I agree.
No matter what laptop or desktop you decide to go with - make sure you switch the Harddrive to a SSD one. It speeds things up a great deal.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Noticeable difference for eB and amazon? I get the SSD idea but for business purposes only...there a big diff?

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Thanks guys, I'll look into that Levono

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Dont look into any Levono or computer, you really need to sit down and make a budget.

I bought both laptops used but in great condition. I upgraded some parts myself when I got them. With the HP I upgraded the processor and hard drive. With the Levono, I simply upgraded the hard drive and extra memory for the empty memory slot for dual channel. But that only works if you are comfortable with upgrading computers. Its not hard.

I will send you to the forums below in the link. If you want a desktop, they have a desktop forums too. This section is for what kind of laptop should you get. The people on there know everything about laptop, the desktop forums are also the same.

That's what I meant my looking into to it. I need to see how much they are first haha. And I see they're not cheap. I'm not big into changing out hard drives, although I do know how to do it. I like to buy the laptop ready to go.

I really want to stay in the $200-$400 range, I don't need much. Just something with a little speed and that will allow me to change user names fast.

I was even going to look into the HP laptop that you can take the screen off and turn into a tablet.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

I'm really thinking about an Asus after seeing how fast it boots.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Really? Must have upped their game then

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Thinking about:

Lenovo Miix 2 Intel Core i3 4012Y, 4GB Memory, 128 (Scratch & Dent) at TigerDirect.com

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

This is a very interesting thread!

I have always used laptops.

I want to ask somone who would know how user profiles can you put on windows 7 or windows 8?

Because I have 98 user profiles on my computer right now using windows vista and everytime I add one it does not show at all on my login username screen.

So please someone who knows please answer how many user profiles can you put on windows 7 or windows 8?

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

I have an old P4 with Windows XP - runs on my dialup operations...nuff said. Works well (one my tools in the arsenal)

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Why is picking a laptop so difficult, lol. Need a good general purpose laptop under $500.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

i have Lenova 18inc and 1 teribite meomory. the fastest machine i had. great for everything

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

If you have a 1TB harddrive it is more than likely not a SSD.
Trust me when I say that if you switch it to a SSD youre computer's performance/speed will improve by at least 50%.
Well worth the investment.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Get the Microsoft Surface Pro. It's great for stealth....

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Hey rsot you read my mind! I was just thinking exactly the same thing, mind you to be fair ours is an oldish one and the way things are with ID verifying in the UK at the moment it is not there time yo get looking at anything else yet, the iPad is knocking on a bit as well but still loads quicker than the laptop!

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Jeez 98 secret storm! That's a lot, no wonder your struggling to fit any more on!!

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Surface Pro is not in my price range. ;) Thanks though!
