PC Specifications for Construction Companies (Part 2) | GPUs for CAD and Leasing
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I’ve been getting calls from friends asking, “So, how’s that company PC you mentioned the other day?” lol. It just never seems to reach the end of its lease term, does it? lol. I think three years is about the standard term for a computer lease. If it’s five years, by the fifth year the specs are just terrible…

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s a three-day weekend, isn’t it? I’m doing my usual work—preparing quotes and tinkering with 3D CAD.
