I Need Computer Advice – What Do You Suggest?

by Jay (Jason Van Orden)

I have a couple important decision to make and I need your input. The time has come to get a new computer for my office.

I guess my “freedom” mindset extends to not feeling tethered to a desk when I work (though the truth is that 98% of the time I do just work from my desk).

But now my laptop is dying. I’ve already ordered a new system from iBuyPower after extensive research.

I tend to be a maximizer when making decisions (i.e. I have to look at every possibility before making a decision). It’s a product of my perfectionism, something I’m working on lately and definitely a topic for another blog post.

So I need your help. I still have two things to purchase for my system. Well, actually three.

I have bought a number of products and courses in the past on-line and have been on occasion less than impressed with the quality and value offered. However I was pleasantly surprised by this course, as the content was of high quality and well laid out. Also for the price I paid, there was a lot of information there.
