• Simplified Workflow
  Having a second computer allows for a more streamlined workflow where users can dedicate each device to specific tasks.
• Backup Solution
  A second computer acts as a backup system, ensuring users can continue working if one device encounters issues.

Possible disadvantages

• Increased Costs
  Purchasing and maintaining a second computer can be costly, involving expenses for hardware, software, and potential repairs.
• Complex Setup
  Setting up and managing two computers can be complex, requiring time and effort to configure and synchronize data across devices.
• Space Requirements
  Having an additional computer may require more physical space, which can be a constraint in small work environments.
