3/2014? I need a home com computerputer that can connect to GoToMyPC for telecommuting, can run Dragon Naturally Speaking, office. I have, now: laptop and v140 processor 2.3 MHz with 8 GB ram.
My laptop is frequently running around100% of the CPU.
I noticed drop box is one culprit and so is Firefox
I know I need to do some software cleanup...but in the meantime I am thinking I may need to graduate to s new system.
On a new computer, ideally, I'd like to have not this problem (cpu near 100%, gets hot).
Software:
Ms office 10
Dragon 12
Windows 7
GoToMyPC
Ms essentials security
Drop box
Firefox
Chrome
IE
Notepad++
Filezilla
Adobe Creative suite (occasionally)
For flash, illustrator.
Your suggestions and thoughts are appreciated.
Will I always have to buy a new computer every 2-3 years? What's the easiest way to mitigate the fallout damage (new software expenses, hard drive changes, being attached to old OS)?
Should I just get a Mac and put windows on there? Will this perform faster than windows on a non-mac PC?
