There are hundreds of computers to choose from. Different brands, different specs, different price points — and plenty of people ready to sell you something you don’t need.
The smartest thing you can do before you buy is get clear on what you actually need. That’s exactly what this guide helps you do.
Seven questions. One clear answer.
Working through these seven questions will help you narrow down the options and focus on the devices that genuinely fit your business, your workspace, and your budget — before you set foot in a shop or start comparing specs online.
The seven questions are:
- What will I use it for?
- What space do I have?
- What software do I need?
- What extras will I need?
- What operating system do I want?
- What are the technical specifications I need?
- What is my budget?
Each question builds on the last, walking you through the decision step by step — with clear explanations, practical examples, and honest guidance at every stage.
Plus: a fill-in planning template at the back so you can record your answers, note your ideal specs, and compare devices against your requirements before you commit.
Who is this for? Small business owners, freelancers and solo operators who are thinking about buying a new computer and want to make a smart, considered decision rather than an expensive guess.
Short enough to work through in one sitting. Practical enough to take with you when you shop.
