Applications
Choosing the right computer for your needs ensures you get the best price for the most features. It is best to have a list of applications that you intend to use as they vary in cost due to software and hardware needed to support them. Typically, home computing is light, unlike business-grade computers that need more memory and processing capacity, which affects the price.
Specifications
Business computers require large amounts of memory (500GB to 750GB) with dual or quad-core processors to handle daily tasks. Consumer-grade computers are mostly used for personal applications which means less memory space and processing power is required.
Hardware and Parts
Business computers are usually customized according to each end user’s needs. They use heavy-duty processors, motherboards, and other components that typically cannot be bought at Best Buy or Wal-Mart. Home computers, on the other hand, are produced in mass quantities making hardware and parts readily available, and easy to service. When a home computer malfunctions a computer technician usually can remedy the issue quickly, whereas business computers required skilled technician specialists and more expensive repair.
Cost
It is safe to assume that the more complicated business-grade computer is the more expensive of the two systems. While a consumer-grade home computer allows more freedom to shop around to find the best price for the best features because there are many manufacturers to choose from. However, if you need a high-functioning business computer, purchasing one built customized with your specifications and applications is worth every penny.
