What do you think of this spec for my new pc?

[Scrag Meister]

Realistically, I reckon 16GB RAM and 2x SSD in RAID is the way forward.......oh, and an i7

Add in at least a GTX NVidia card, too

A man after my own heart, if you want your invoices to look really pretty in UHD.

That's what I have in my laptop. What about an office PC?

Ah, that is my laptop!

@ Scrag - Indeed, need shiny powerful machines to generate my invoices ;-)

My invoicing laptop is this

ASUS N56, N56VB-S4041H, ASUS N56VB-S4041H

With a Samsung 1TB SSD upgrade.

In its day, one of these knocked out some pretty impressive invoices:

An occasional fool, and his company's money :-P

Make sure that it's at last a 6gb graphics card to future proof it, for running on multiple 4k monitors....

Thinking that because it's "the company's money" it doesn't count is definitely foolish


Anyway did the OP ever buy anything?

Meh, I dunno - horses for courses and all that

I wanted a new laptop, I needed something powerful for a variety of reasons - to me, it was either buy myself or have MyCo buy it. Given the choice of who paid, I think I made the right one

Ultimately, it is a business tool - alright, the discrete gfx card may not have been necessary - and as the business I am in requires a certain level of hardware (actually stipulated in my current contract!) then there really was nothing foolish involved. To my mind, it was fortuitous that the contract had such stipulations, as it lined up nicely with what I wanted, but wasn't sure I could justify
