I have used laptops for 7 years but I need a desktop now. I use it in my warehouse throughout the day with T-bird, Chrome, and FF always open. I always have 3 to 4 tabs open in FF; PayPal with RefreshEvery set to 5 minutes so I don't have to sign in every time I want to print a shipping label. The USPS site, the 3rd tab is YouTube because the ads are blocked in FF - sometimes a 4th tab is open to allow longer YT vids to load while I watch one already loaded in the 3rd tab and go back and forth etc.
Chrome has 5 to 10 tabs open at all times and they are online talk shows or podcasts, and several general surfing tabs and sometimes eBay. I usually have 70 to 90 processes running and my laptop only has 2GB RAM so I know I need more RAM on the desktop. My service comes from a transmitter 12 miles away to a receiver on top of a 50' pole on top of my warehouse so I guess I have wifi (?).
So I do not do any gaming and I do not use Skype or any other interactive stuff so with this info can someone make some suggestions on hardware minimum performance and maybe even where to purchase? I have been buying my laptops at Sam's but I probably shoud've shopped around first.
Thanks for any suggestions.
