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.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

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.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

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!

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Rambo3,
I just opened a thread about this same topic.
What is the best things about running stealths on the surface pro 3?
Any tips or tricks you use?

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Honestly... and obviously if you're looking for an all to pc.. This isn't it as you wont be able to store many templates and pictures. Aside from your other programs ect.

BUT.. if this is strictly for stealth, youll be fine. Notepad, excel, and browsers only.

I just think it'll be difficult to manage more than 10 usernames on this.. but please do not hold me to it as i have not attempted.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Then go for the Surface Pro normal.. You can find it on eBay for $250-$500

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

I just ordered the Acer Aspire. Seems like a pretty nice laptop.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Acer Aspire came today. I think it will work for running stealth accounts, but this thing is TINY. I may need to get something a bit bigger.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Maybe consider an add-on keyboard? Or plug in an external monitor?

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Defeats the purpose of purchase in the 1st place.

And clutter up the workspace?

Where would the hamster wheels go?

:faint:

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

I have an old Thinkpad that has a bad ribbon, so I bought a monitor and a keyboard for an instant fix. That one table in my office looks like cluster! Why the heck would anyone do that except they are in a jam? haha

I have an entire desk in my office dedicated to this contraption. What that really means is that my office is to big and I am too lazy to transfer to a tower or another laptop. I am concluding it is a combination of both.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

How many user profiles do you guys have on what kind of laptop?

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Everything is working well. Got all my user accounts set up on the new laptop and my Mifi dongle with 2 free months. This thing changes IP addresses super fast and the new laptop reboot is fast well. Love being able to switch between accounts in about 10-15 seconds.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

As an example - for dial-up set up - I actually have 20ish accounts on a P4 laptop hah

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

So far only 7 on my Acer Aspire. I will probably have no more than 20 on one laptop.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

does switching user accts with ssd make it much faster?

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Go nice and stable, get a Macbook.
I run both Macbook and Samsung 7 series Ultra and I hate my Samsung.
I've had the Macbook for 3 years without any problems and I bought the Samsung a year ago and out of those 12 months, it's been back and forth between warranty repairs for solid 6. The thing just falls apart after 6 months.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

SSDs make a huge difference on a computer's speed and responsiveness.

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Played with a ssd hard drive - very much faster

Re: PC for running Accounts
 

Personally planning to buy a monster here,as a burner laptop lol (I am heartbroken when I say this),a fricking asus RoG g751 jy... with 32gb. I believe it is way overkill but however I never know when all this power will come in handy.
