A new year represents a golden opportunity to revamp and modernize your IT setup, including the computers your employees rely on for everyday work. But as with so many other aspects of information technology, there's a right way and wrong way to buy new computers, especially when you're replacing your entire inventory. Here some helpful tips from your resource for business IT support in Austin, Gravity Systems.

• Spend a little more now to spend less later. Before you jump at a jaw-dropping retail price, take a close look “under the hood” to make certain your'e not buying tomorrow's obsolescent junk. You may not need computers with maxed-out RAM and screaming-fast processor speeds right now, but that doesn't mean you should accept models that have barely enough power and speed to keep up with today's software, network and online requirements. Buy a little more computer now, and you'll enjoy more years of competitive performance before having to buy its replacement.

• Consider making the move to SSD. Solid-state drives are growing more affordable, and they offer several advantages over traditional hard drives. They can read and write data with considerably more speed, which makes them good for future-proofing your IT system. And if you've been having trouble with mechanical drive failures, you may also like the fact that they have no moving parts to wear out.

• Let the professionals do the purchasing. When you bring Gravity Systems on board to advise you on your computer selection and purchases, you can rest assured that you're getting the right products for both your budget and your IT needs. And once we've chosen the right computers to future-proof your technology, our Austin IT support team will be happy to set them up and migrate all the data smoothly and efficiently.
