Computer numpty here needs some help...
I've recently started working from home and am currently using my Samsung NC10 netbook (1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, 2GB RAM) with an external monitor. My company is supposed to be buying me a "real machine" still TBC whether it wil be a desktop or a grown up laptop. the netbook is surprisngly OK - not great but not as slow as I was expecting it to be.
Anyhoo. I'd like to know a bit more about what I should be getting.
Broadly speaking, it'll be running VPN most of the time for access to the company network, but I also do a lot of Autocad - mostly in 2D, but increasingly in 3D - that's done directly on the PC, not remotely. Also needs to be Photoshop friendly - that's mostly for my needs rather than company work though. My office machine is dual screen and I'm missing that, so anything I get needs to have that capability. I of course WON'T be using it for browsing STW....
So what should I be looking for? I'm pretty sure whatever happens, it will come from Amazon, so if you want to point me to a link saying "buy that one" that would be fine. Options for both desktop and laptop would be handy too...
Thanks!
Jon
