I used to have a computer that took 5 minutes to start up.  Whenever I launched a program, it would take several seconds to load.  This computer used to be fast when it was first built, but nowadays, it's slow like a turtle.

Recently, I upgraded to a new computer.  The difference was big.  My new computer starts up in less than a minute.  Programs load in just a few seconds.  I can get things done much faster with my new computer.  It cost me around $700 for the computer, which is probably the sweet spot in price.  But the investment was worth it.

Does your computer slow you down when you work?  If so, I highly recommend upgrading to a faster computer.  With a faster computer, you can get things done much faster.  For instance, if your computer takes 3 minutes to start up, a computer that can start up in less than a minute can save you more than 2 minutes each time.  That can add up to a lot of time.

If you turn on your computer once a day, then in one year, you'd save at least 730 minutes.  That's about 12 hours.  With a faster computer, you can use that time to get things done instead of spending 12 hours waiting for your computer to start up.

To buy a faster computer, it's best to invest in the sweet spot for the right kind of computer.  If you buy a computer that's cheap, it'll be quickly outdated and you'll have to upgrade again.  But if you buy a computer that's too new, its price would be too high to justify the slight increase in speed.  The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle, probably around $700 (for a desktop computer).
