it is very simple. First, make sure the speed of the computer is tolerable. Second, check how much memory it has. the more memory, the better. Third, check the price. Always compare, and try to find the unit rates of how much youre spending. Fourth, check the physical features, like shape, size, and weight. Fifth, always try to make sure a compuetr has WiFi for wireless internet.

If you test all these factors, and you like it all, the computer will be perfect for you!

answ2. Only buy a machine with features that suit your needs. Even so, it will be obsolete in 5 years. it is not a lifetime investment.

When acquiring software for your computer, you should keep the following factors in mind:

- How much does it cost? (if it isn't free)
If it costs more than you would like to spend,
try using Google to search for a free alternative.
Almost 100% of the time, you will find something
that can do the job.

- Will you actually use it?
This is only important if you have limited disk space, or, if you use windows
if you are worried about viruses, or causing problems to your registry.

- Will your hardware be able to handle it?
Some 3d applications, and Video Games
will be significantly slower if you have outdated hardware,
so either lower the graphical settings until you achieve
the desired framerate (the speed at which the computer draws
the images to the screen), upgrade you hardware (see below),
or consider uninstalling it until you decide to upgrade it later.



Now, the only factor for hardware is the power of the hardware component versus the price, depending on the tasks you will be performing on you computer, you will need less, or more power for each component.

For example, if all you want to do is browse the web, you will need very little RAM(1-2gb), and a fairly slow processor. (2.7-3.0ghz single core should be fine).

On the other hand, if you want to play modern video games, you will need a fast video card, a lot of ram (2-4gb), and a fast processor (2.8-3.2 ghz dual core).

Keep in mind, that most video games do not take full advantage of quad core processors, so a dual core processer is ideal, however quad core processors are ideal for multitasking outside of video games. For example, running several YouTube videos at once.

That the component that are said that you will get in the computer like:

i3 processor

H61 intel Motherboard

RAM 2 gb

HARD DISK 1 TB

and monitor

Check that actual prices of these things add up to make around the actual cost of pc.

Do check for what you would be using PC for and buy for your requirements.

It all depends on what you want to use the computer for. I'd recommend being a bit more specific with your question.
