Thanks so much for the advice. It looks like I won’t have to spend as much money as I was planning. I’m good with software and apps, but clueless about hardware.
And I’ve been looking at desktops only; for me, they seem more reliable. I have a little ol’ Samsung netbook I travel with.
Again... thanks!
You are welcome. Really i3 is good enough. Then 8-16GB memory. If you see a desktop with an AMD processor that you like just ping me and I will give an opinion.
As far as hard drives go...usually the lowest you see is 1TB. That’s just how computers are made these days. But you could get by with half that....a 500GB hard drive.
