What brand of computer should I buy?

Answer 1

The "best" computer is an individual decision based on unique needs.

The majority of consumers are likely to purchase a "pre-built" machine.

There are a few basic basic decisions that are easy to make without any technical knowledge:

1. Mac/Apple vs. PC/Windows - usually based on personal preference or the availability of software
2. Laptop vs. Desktop vs. Netbook - typically desktop computers are more powerful, but much less portable. Netbook computers are small, underpowered laptops designed for ultraportability
3. Screen size - some consumers prefer a more portable screen size, whereas others prefer a very large, bright display at the sacrifice of portability.

Once many of the non-technical decisions have been made, you can use websites like http://newegg.com or http://techbuyingguide.com to narrow your potential computer results and find the best "pre-built" computer for your needs and budget.

Some tech-savvy buyers might be interested in building their own computer:

First buy a case with a 400w power supply and that has one or more fans, and also has 2.0 usb. Buy a good mobo(mother board) with 2 or more ram(random access memory, but mostly known as ram) slots, has a spot for pci express slots for a video cart, you need to get a possessor with the same socket type(with has to match), you need special type of glue for the possessor to be placed onto of it and under the fan,the glue i used was heat sink, go to a professional computer specialist to place the glue on RIGHT, buy a good video card that matches the mobo specifications(try to get a 6000gforce or more,get a sata hard drive that is 80gb or more(size mostly depends on what you putting on the hard drive), also get a DVD drive.. i would get every thing from newegg, a online store at newegg.com, if you don't want to have a chance with the part not working together then go to a computer store and ask someone for help.you would probably speeds about $500.or you could buy a premade computer from almost any electronics store, but just keep in mind on what i said.

Me crash169 could of missed stuff that you need to buy or imported detells on stuff to do and cannot be held responsible if the computer does not work.

It depends on where or what are you going to use it. Is it for office or business use or is it for your personal or family use? When you use it often and requires you to maintain a lot of file, then buy a high memory computer.

There are PCs designed for gaming but sometimes it is good to build your own PC with ideal components best suited for gaming activities. If you are looking to game you should get a PC with an Intel i7 processor in it. Along with that you should get a 1 TB hard drive and a decent amount of RAM (preferably 8-12 GB). You will also want a decent graphics card. These are constantly changing and being enhanced so it is best to do some research and see which type bests suits your needs.

Answer 6

When you buy a computer for use at college, there are a few things to consider. You will want a small laptop or a netbook because you will be carrying the computer with you often. You will need to consider how much you want to pay for the computer. A MacBook will do everything you need it to do for school, but it will start at around $1000.00. Windows computers are great for school and you can get a nice size netbook for $500.00 or less. The Sony Vaio Y is a good choice. The battery life is substantial and the weight is only 3.9 pounds. With a 13.3 screen, it is sleek and sturdy. There are several other brands to choose from, but this is my personal favorite for your needs.
