Insiders' Guide: Buying Digital Media Workstations

[Tami]

IF YOU ARE A DIGITAL CONTENT CREATOR (Artist, architect, animator, editor, engineer, producer, director, modeler, designer, compositor, game developer, visual effects supervisor, or imaginative content creator) in the market for a professional, high-end workstation, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer number of vendors and configurations to choose from.

How much memory and storage do I need? What graphics card will suit me best? Do I have to compromise performance for upgradeability? Do I buy from an established brand, or am I better served by a smaller, more-focused manufacturer?

This buyer’s guide will help you sort through the maze of options by examining what third party research lists as the five most important considerations you need to take into account when purchasing a new graphics workstation: Performance, Upgradeability, Compatibility, Support and Supplier Reputation. Each one is important in its own right, but they all add up to an informed buying decision that will increase your productivity as well as your peace of mind.
