Which one is correct?

Hi teachers,
Which one is correct?
a) She works very quickly on the computer.
b) She works on the computer very quickly.

Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind that there are cases in which moving a modifier (on the computer, very quickly, etc.) can give the sentence a different meaning. This is not such a case.
