ABCs of upgrading PCs; when it's time for an overhaul, price should take a backseat to functional needs
Article Abstract:
Rigid standards for upgrading law firm computer systems are impossible to give, as what works for one office may be ineffective in other places. Firms with severe budgetary constraints should consider the lower end, while those with more ambitious technical requirements should be interested in the upper bracket. Litigators find laptop computers helpful, as they like their portability. They are, however, more costly and tend to become obsolete faster than regular desktop systems. Other details including sample prices are given.
