When should I buy a new computer, and what kind?
We suggest reasons for replacing your computer:
1) If you suffer while using it.
Slowness (that is not mainly from your network) and errors might be good signs that your computer needs to be replaced
2) Age of the computer.
Old computers do not support newer Operating Systems and are more vulnerable to hacks and malwares.
We recommend not stretching your computer until it's "really bad".

For most people, it's easier to continue in the same environment they are used to.
For Apple users, an Apple device might be easier to work with, while for PC users (Windows), a PC device might be easier to use.
