When setting up equipment for a new office, you often have to choose between a low price and high quality. Nowadays, almost every employee needs access to a computer. So how can you provide good equipment for your staff without breaking the bank? Off-lease equipment can be an attractive solution. There are plenty of offers on the market, but what is the best investment? Let's try to solve this dilemma.
Legal Software
Businesses are much more exposed to different types of audits compared to individuals. This means that a business owner cannot afford to use devices with pirated software. When buying a new computer, the operating system can significantly increase the overall cost of the setup. With off-lease computers, Windows is often tied to the motherboard, allowing you to get a fully legal copy of the operating system with your purchase.
A Customized Workstation
Planning a computer workstation may seem very simple to some, while it can pose challenges to others. How do you match the machine to the actual needs of the future user? First and foremost, look at the specifications. The most popular option, which includes 8 GB of RAM and a 240 GB SSD, will be ideal for work involving invoicing, email handling, and using programs like Microsoft Office. However, more advanced software might require greater power from the computer.
Another important element is input and output ports, which allow external devices to be connected. Modern computers typically have several USB ports and a digital output for connecting a monitor (DisplayPort, HDMI). Occasionally, you'll still find VGA ports, which provide an analog signal to the monitor.
It is also worth considering the size of the equipment. Small cases allow you to hide the unit in a clever way. Some computers even have the option to mount them to the back of a monitor.
Our Recommendations
If you need a small, sleek computer that doesn't have to handle demanding tasks, we can confidently offer one of the Tiny models. The Dell Optiplex 3040 Micro with a sixth-generation i3 processor, a modern 240 GB SSD, and 8 GB of RAM is available at Xlap24 for less than 900 PLN. This unassuming machine can easily handle everyday office tasks. For those who are more frugal, we also offer the Lenovo M93P, priced at under 600 PLN with similar specifications.
If you are unsure whether the computer might need upgrading in the future, it is worth buying a model that allows for adding expansion cards.
