Buying an Engi neeri ng Workstation

摘要

Buying an engineering workstation used to be easy - you would get the fastest processor and most memory that your budget allowed. This would give you the fastest and most capable platform to do whatever you required, at least for the next couple of years. It's much more complex today, because the projects you're working on are more complex and varied. You work differently than you did in the past, combining applications while also managing your own data and working on email. You're on a LAN, but you also have to consider other I/O such as USB, and you even have to be aware of your latency up to your cloud provider.
