This thread has nothing to do with brands of computers. To suggest any brand of computer on this thread would most likely indicate that you have not read the thread before posting a comment, or you just want to be heard.
One exception might be if a certain brand of computer has an option that others do not.
Mac is not an option here. We do not want one so please refrain from telling me how good they are and besides you would fall into the first paragraphs category.
Now for the purpose of this thread.
It is really quite simple.
I have lost touch with the current terminology of computer specifications.
It is my desire to hopefully get some basic knowledge by some of you who are up to date with what is going on in the computer world.
Life used to be simpler. but now with the duel core , cor 2 duel, I5, I7 , and you name it I am a bit lost.
If someone with a good understanding of the current terms used to describe a computers abilities could chime in here and give a little advice as to what is available and your opinions as to what options you would suggest I would greatly appreciate it.
I would not hold anyone accountable for a suggestion as I realize we all have our own opinions and I will form my own based on information I acquire doing research before purchasing our new computer.
Money is not a consideration here in this thread. Knowledge of current technology is all that I hope to gain.
I have not mentioned the intended use because I do not want to get into which brand as stated earlier but rather current technology only. It will not be used for gaming. Office type work only but online via virtual private network. Lots of programs running at once.
Thanks in advance to anyone who cares to help.
