Better choices start with the job your computer needs to do.
01
Start with your software
Select familiar software or add your own. We turn that into practical CPU, graphics, memory and storage requirements.
02
Keep the budget honest
Recommendations target your budget. A suitable catalogue alternative that costs more is clearly labelled, never quietly slipped in.
03
Make trade-offs clear
See why a result fits, what has been checked, and where performance, portability or price requires a compromise.
