Dear all,
I really could do with some help,
I have a small business, I currently use a Chromebook ( Lenovo duet ). I was using the Chromebook at first for emails, and web searching...but later on I required the use of Google office suite. docs, sheets etc.
My Chromebook simply cannot keep up with these tasks anymore.
I have decided to purchase a new computer, but I decided I don't want to buy another chrome OS computer, so instead, I will purchase a Mac or Microsoft surface.
I have never owned a Mac, the last time I owned a Microsoft computer was back in 2009 I believe, it was windows 7 and a Compaq laptop which broke down after 2 years. ( Boot up issue )
I'm a little hesitant about buying another Windows computer as I would like it to last me at least 5 years if possible.
I also suffer from mild dyslexia ( Possibly readers might notice from my forum post ) so I'm not sure which OS would be better for me?
I will need the new computer for
1. Web research
2. Listening to music
3. word, excel
4. calendar
5. some video editing ( content creation )
6. emails
7. PDF document
I have a few more questions, sorry if these questions seem silly
1. Does windows 11 still require antivirus software?
2. What are the most common problems with windows, is the blue screen of death as they use to call it, still around?
3. is windows 11 best purchased with 8 GB of ram? 4 GB is not enough?
4. Which type of processor would be best? I don't understand Intel 12 gen vs AMD.
as for MACS I have no idea.
I have heard they are very reliable.
1. Can I get office for MAC? or does MAC have any word software?
2. Does mac come with any free video editing software?
3. Does Mac require antivirus?
I have so many more questions, I just don't understand what would be best for me.
I would like something which will last me a long time, at least over 5 years or more.
Thank you and sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum.
thank you
Jimmy
