Lots of input:

  • There are lots of things to consider when buying a computer. First think about how much you want to store on it's hard drive. If you are a surfer and not much else, you may consider a lower capacity drive, or a heavy user might want a larger one. Hard drives range from 100GB to 1 or 2 TB (1TB = 1000GB). A complex word document takes up 0.014GB, for reference.
  • You will also need to consider your processor. You want a speed of at least 2GHz in my opinion, these days, and you should be able to get a dual (or even a quad)-core processor, depending, of course on your budget.
  • Another thing to consider is RAM. More commonly referred to as Memory, you will want at least 2GB, and should aim for 3GB.
  • When buying a new computer, the first thing you should consider is what you will be using the computer for. If you want to have a portable computer for doing work on and NOT games, you want probably and 14 inch or smaller laptop. If you want to play games and still be portable, you want maybe a 15.6 inch laptop. There are some nice ones on amazon. If you want a huge laptop that will be portable but very heavy. There are 17.3 inch computers that would fit that bill.
  • If you want a desktop you should look at what the place you are at says it is used for. For doing work you should be able to get a fine work computer for $600. Gaming desktops start at about $400 but those ones are horrible and realistically start at $900.
  • If you find a good spec computer, but find it's a bit pricey, consider a refurbished (a.k.a. Refurb) computer. These are usually ex-display goods or Minor returns (e.g. where there was a crack in the screen, so it was returned, the screen replaced, and put back on sale, but cannot technically be called new)
  • The Apple logo. That'll get you where you want, no matter where you want to go.
