Plenty of 3.0 and 2.0 USB ports so I can connect a bunch of external drives and 'things'.

Otherwise, a desktop is normally significantly cheaper and you can upgrade its parts over time much longer than with a laptop.Įnded up getting a Lenovo i7 3770, 3.4mhz 8g memory, 250gb HD, with a optical drive. If you can, get a second one so you can work comfortably in both places. You can probably do a Samsung 27" for less than $250 with that res on it. Then get a nice large external monitor to match it. That is a high resolution screen that will give you a res of 3840 x 2160. You may as well get something with a UHD screen. The Windows Firewall is fine.ĭo you need to move the PC around? Use it inside the house and also down in the basement? If yes, you will want a laptop. Combined with a decent Anti Virus package and a Malware Package. It is also much safer for being on the internet in terms of resisting hacking and virus's and malware. Win 7 is fine and very stable, but it will sunset in the relatively near future. Older version of Corel are also fine as Bert said. I still have Corel X7 but X8 seems to be quite stable now and I will probably upgrade just because.
You have to balance that out.Īlthough I hate it, I would also do Win 10. An extra year out of a computer may not be worth the extra dollars in higher end components.

The software will catch up to them eventually and if you overbuy you essentially extend the usable life of the machine. I have never been sorry I had too much disk space with a fast disk, too much RAM, or too fast a processor. Especially if you like to keep lots of things open at one time. I would still go with a minumum 8GB of RAM though, preferably 12 to 16.
Type it is as I7 "model number." Corel is not a memory hog like Adobe Products. You will get a number of links that will tell you how many cores it has. If you have to, take the model number of the processor and just type it in a google search.
Many of them are only 2 and there is a visible difference there as well. You can do a 1TB SSD for $300+ now? Also, if you can afford it, go with a 4 core I7 processor. It will make a huge perceivable difference in the speed of the machine.
