more RAM, always more RAM but also depends on what theyre doing thats the equivalent of my 4 or 5 year old laptop which works great for me because i teamview into my production machine which i run dual xeon processors, tons of RAM etc and still hang that one sometimes We do thinkcentres for standard office type users and thinkstations for powerusers. Lenovo has a configurator that will spec your machine pretty well for you. We base everything on current price to decide what to get but memory is cheap, 16gb always keeps you in good shape with little future need to throw sticks away to upgrade The benefit to spinning disks is you get noise to let you know one is dying, ssd will let you know by being dead On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 3:30 PM, Lewis Bergman <[email protected]> wrote: Not all are SSD. I am not really good at it either but I do some stuff for dispatch centers. We usually spec a 250GB SSD for the OS, a 1TB HDD for backups. If it is a desktop I like 16GB as it seems like you still get memory erros if you open lots of things at once.
