Computing Power
Computing Power!
Hi Everyone! ... this posting is an expression of interest in learning more about the best choice for the computing power that is needed to really 'get-go' for success with Wealthy Affiliate.
The training has been fantastic to date with lots to learn and to do... along the way though, I have discovered that there are seemingly many, many software programs to run in a number of areas such as design / graphics, videos, text, numerics, et al. An understanding of coding is almost a necessity. New literacy. Feeling like a dunce some days! ...
PC or MAC
Well, perhaps the discussion of whether to invest in a PC or MAC may be considered dated, however, there must be pros and cons to both, advantages and disadvantages....
I checked in with my favourite techie guru and he advised that PCs are still in vogue among businesses due to its better range of functionalities. Does this hold true? What is your opinion on the use of a MAC for a web-based business? Your expertise / experience / share would be much appreciated.
INVESTMENT
Computers with the right 'installs' are quite an investment. Really not a 'techie' here, just would like to garner the top opinions of what members find useful for their computing needs, before making the next needed purchase of a dedicated computer for building the WA business over the long-run.
In the short-run, currently using Windows 10 and it has its own quirks 'n quarks. It's always good to obtain some solid independent advice on investments. As they say, 'ask those who have gone the distance & are now coming back....'
Your esteemed commentary would be appreciated!
Thanks kindly for reading this post. . .

It is all your choice. I have Windows 8 and I am going to upgrade soon. Everyone has his or her preference. As far as which one works best, in my opinion, they are all pretty much the same, it's all that you get used to or know how to operate. Kind of like which car do you prefer.
Appreciate your comment -- thanks kindly for taking the time to reply...all the best, cheerio... :)

Hi Keisha, I started using a Mac a few years ago and have been very pleased with its capability with many graphics and photo/video making features built in. To me it has been worth the additional investment, which was a risk at the time, because I did not know Macs, but now I would not hesitate to reinvest Best Alan
Thanks so kind for your reply & sharing of your experience with a Mac -- I realize it takes time to get used to using something new...and Macs are quite an investment -- was just wondering about their maintenance re: updates, battery life, longevity of support, etc.? ... cheerio... :)
