Thought now would be a good time to ask for your recommendations.
Not had a laptop or pc for years. I do everything on phone or tablet at the moment.
However I have for a while now been saving what I can with the plan being to set up at home so I can work from home. I'm currently on benefits and while I'm grateful I'd really rather be working. But I'm housebound and disabled, but it's frustrating not working and earning and contributing to society as much as I feel I could be.
I have qualifications and experience in general admin, data entry, book-keeping and technical/commercial writing.
I've also considered online tefl teaching.
I'm thinking at the very minimum I would need
A decent laptop -
really need guidance on this. I'm used to windows but learn quickly. Which? Best Buy is MacBook which I have never used and may be out of my price range anyway. But I have an iPhone and so I'm used to apples os there.
Appropriate and efficient software
Decent Printer/scanner/copier
I'm thinking I'll also possibly need
Audio peripherals for taking calls, audio typing
Specialised software depending on what work I get/will try to be available for.
So how are you finding your current equipment is holding up? Which brands and models would you recommend?
I'm also very open to any other related advice on this type of work.
