I was wondering, what is the best PC configuration for freelancers that offer SEO services. Of course, blackhat software is excluded, we won't be counting those requirements.

Best PC configuration for SEO freelancers

I own decent Samsung i3 laptop, recently upgraded to 8GB of RAM and an SSD.
Since the upgrade I've experienced increased SEO productivity for my clients and the services that I offer.
So if this upgrade made things a lot easier for me, maybe upgrading to even more powerful laptop or desktop PC would improve my performance further? I doubt it, personally.

What do you think are optimal specifications a computer must have for a freelancer that offers SEO services?

Would you go for a laptop or a desktop and why?

Mac OS or Windows? If Windows which version?

I would always go with 6GB of ram if it's an option. I'm sure that less ram works just fine, but why not have more Best PC configuration for SEO freelancers

If you're excluding seo software than you don't need anything crazy, the performance only needs to be good enough to get you through day to day tasks since that won't use up much resources. I'm a fan of the i5 or i7 processor, but will settle for an i3 if I need to in a pinch. And if I have an i3, I'm not going to spend an arm and a leg on the computer/laptop since it will be upgraded shortly lol.

Would you go for a laptop or a desktop and why?
I actually prefer a laptop because I can bring it wherever I want and work on a beach if I want Best PC configuration for SEO freelancers

I've used a desktop but I don't think I like them as much because it makes me feel like I'm setting roots in my digital business and I started working online so that I could be a butterfly and spread my wings Best PC configuration for SEO freelancers

Mac OS or Windows? If Windows which version?
Definitely Windows. Currently I use Windows 10 and it's starting to grow on me. I wasn't a huge fan of it at first because no one likes a new OS when they first start using them, but windows 10 seems to be simplified a bit for older people to get the hang of it easier. It still has all the same functions of older OS's, and even some pretty new ones, but not many people like change and that's why they always bash new OS's lol.

6GB of ram? I think more is better, specifically 8 GB with two pieces of 4. Look up what is the maximum RAM supported memory and upgrade to the max, you won't regret it, especially if you also switch to an SSD.

I've got a Dell Inspiron 15R which is an i5. I honestly don't even know what all the specs are but my hubby told me that this laptop is most likely an overkill for the work I do on it. I like my laptop and I like having a nice one Best PC configuration for SEO freelancers

When I bought a laptop last year, I had a series of talks with my husband on what to buy. We currently have an old desktop that is running on Windows XP. If we will buy another desktop then we have to junk this old one. We decided to buy a new laptop and I guess we are right because we now have 2 computers which are of different types. If I need to work fast then I use the desktop. The laptop is for portability because I can use it almost anywhere I please.
