I'm buying a new computer. My laptops are 6 years old and I worry they will die soon. My SONY VAIO are long gone. They were wonderful 15 years ago.
I will keep using my AIR 11, and will retire the HP 17", both have been great.
I wanted to buy an upgraded MAC Mini, but Apple made the new model a lesser box. Goodbye Apple.
So I am upgrading a low end Costco HP Envy 700 tower, that has 32 GB ram. I will add 500 GB SSD, a better Video card and move to RAID external NAS later this year.
This should be a good box for big scans, video editing, 2 monitors and modular enough to keep it going until we reach a computing breakthrough.
I wonder about storing the HP laptop, as I had it offline and powered off for several months this summer and it did not like reentering the world. Needed a ton of updates.
I find both IOS Mavericks and WIN 8.1 work fine. I worry about Apple's commitment to computers beyond handheld.
Amazon will deliver the upgrades Monday, the new box is still somewhere else.
Kinda antsy to get it running....
We can't live in our digital and film world without a better box every 5 years...
