I just hired a couple new guys and I need to buy them computers. Our needs are very basic: We use MS Office, the Martindale-Hubble Database system that is basically a paid subscription of CDs. We store a lot of Word, Excel and .pdf documents - several hundred each.
Also, I have kind of a weird corporate culture. We talk to attorneys all day and that can be a tad trying at times. So I'm completely okay with the guys taking 30 - 90 minutes and just goofing off and playing video games when they're feeling frustrated. So it would be good if the computer could run the latest and greatest version of Doom or whatever people play nowadays.
We're wireless if that makes a difference.
So I don't think I need to buy the latest and greatest. I just need something that is functional.
I've had good luck with Dells but am open to you Jedi wisdom...
Oh yeah! I want a new monitor for me! It seems like the cost of a 25" monitor is about the same as a 25" TV that I could just plug my computer into and use as a monitor. Thoughts?
