- theshrike79 3y agoWhat does ”Workstation” mean then? What kind of ”work” is it meant for? Accounting? Writing? Programming? Video editing?

- veidr 3y agoThe term does have a generally recognized meaning, which is something like "computer that is designed for computationally expensive tasks". That's a relative thing, so "workstation" has continued to mean "computer that is on the upper end of the computing power spectrum". So not writing, probably not accounting. Programming, sure, if the builds being done are computationally expensive. Video editing definitely, if you are going to be doing a lot of it, you will want the most powerful workstation your budget allows for.
