It depends on the intended use of the laptop or desktop PC. Today, it is best practice to opt for a PC or laptop with a solid-state drive (SSD). Since an SSD does not have moving parts, it is more reliable and far quicker. They are also more shock-resistant, making them perfect for business use.
At Agile Technical Solutions, we partner with Hewlett Packard. This means that we can offer the full range of devices to fit any budget, from desktops and laptops to 2-in-1s that bridge the gap between laptops and tablets, with touchscreen interfaces and 360-degree hinges.
With regards to desktops, they do not need to be large, cumbersome devices. In fact, many come in compact sizes to deliberately save on desk space while being powerful for everyday use.
