Buying a new computer for work: talk to us first
Updated 10 November 2026 · How we work
Why a quick conversation before you buy saves money and setup time, what we look for in a business computer, and how pricing works.
A computer from a big-box store can look like a bargain, but it may not be the right machine for business use, and some models cannot be managed or secured the way your other computers are. A five-minute conversation before you buy avoids that, and costs you nothing.
What we look for
For Windows computers, we recommend the Pro edition of Windows rather than Home, because Home lacks the business management and encryption features we rely on. Business ranges from the major makers are built to last longer, have better warranties with next-day or on-site options, and stay on sale for longer, so the whole office can have matching equipment. We also check that the processor, memory and storage will still be comfortable in four or five years, not just today, and that it has the ports your docking station and screens need.
Mac or Windows
We support both. The best choice usually depends on the software your business uses, so check that before buying a Mac for someone in a team that uses Windows-only programs.
How pricing works
We take no margin, commission or referral fees on hardware or software. When we source a computer for you, we pass on the vendor's price, and you pay our rates only for the time we spend. If you prefer to buy it yourself, we will send you a short specification or a link to a suitable model, so you can shop around.
Setting it up
Once the computer arrives, let us set it up before anyone uses it. We install the security and monitoring tools, link folders to OneDrive, apply updates, and on Windows enrol it in Microsoft Intune where that applies to your business. If it is replacing an older computer, we move the user's files and settings across and then securely wipe the old machine before it is reused, sold or recycled.
Getting a recommendation
Email hello@bitlogix.tech with who the computer is for, what they use it for, any budget you have in mind and when you need it. If you need a computer urgently, mention that and we will suggest something that is in stock.
