How many gigs of ram does a top quality computer usually have?
Top of the line computers have either 3 or 4 gigabytes of RAM.
What is the difference between branded and non-branded computers.?
To put it very simply, branding. "Branding" would be when someone sticks their logo on the case, the BIOS splash screen, and perhaps a sticker on the motherboard. Hardware-wise, branded computers use the same or very similar hardware to those found in unbranded bulk computers, or computers that people have built themselves. So a Dell, HP, or Acer may have almost the exact same configuration, but a different logo on the case.
What is enough space on a laptop?
Honestly, that all depends on what you need. Everyone is different. It is all relative.
You have probably noticed that computers (laptops especially) are having more and more space as newer versions come out.
You can find a decently affordable laptop now days with something like 250GB hard drive(a very nice portion of space ) and 2GB (or more) or RAM. (should be plenty, usually).
The specifications above are usually somewhat standard now days. Unless you are a user who needs alot more space than the average person, I think that is your best bet.
Look below for some helpful questions to ask yourselve when considering space:
You might want to consider a few questions when you are thinking about how much space you need:
- What will you use it for?
Will you put a lot of programs and pictures on it, or do you just want a basic computer to do pretty basic things on, like surfing the web.
- If you had a computer previously, were you satisfied with the amount of space on it, or would you like to have more?
- Again, related to the first question: Do you find yourself having a lot of music or pictures on a computer?
This will mean that you probably will have a lot of files and will thus want more disk space.
- Also, how important is cost versus space for you?
- You will also want to consider other features that you are looking for besides space.
It really all depends on you.

What should you ask when buying a computer system?
You need to determine what you want to do with your computer. This will tell you what you should buy. Also, ask your dealer if they offer support. No PC deal is a good deal if they don't offer support and back their product line. If you find an honest dealer, he or she will sit down with you and help you decide what PC is best for you.
Answer
Ask about what CPU is in there. If you are an AutoCAD drafter or play games that even the Dell XPSes can't handle and they try to sell you an overpriced Celeron or Sempron, leave. They don't know what they are talking about. Those are just for basic home users and kindergarten classes. Ask to pop open the case and see what's inside. If you see brands like Western Digital, Maxtor or those kinds of names for the hard drive, and AMD or Intel for the processor, and NVIDIA, ATI for the graphics card, etc... in general you're getting a decent PC. Since PC sales people only know rudimentary computer stuff in general, I would do research online.When at the store, I just politely asked to be left alone and ask if I can see the internals. I will withhold the store and the brand of PC that I was going to purchase, but I was about to pay $600 for a PC that had a hard drive with its entire label in Chinese--not good. No name brand, certifications or anything. Scary! There was a Core2 processor without a fan, just a small heatsink! From newegg.com, I can build a PC with 1 GB ram, a 2.2GHz AMD64 processor, a DVD burner and a 250 GB hard drive for about $190. Consider building. Power supplies: the manufacturers see this as an opportunity to get cheap because there really isn't a name for them like for processors (Intel) and hard drives (Maxtor) and so on. Cheap power supplies = early death for PCs, esp. if you live where lightning frequents or you use your vacuum a/c and washer a lot.'
Answer
When buying a computer, don't let the salesperson talk you into fancy upgrades you don't need. Ask about the processor - this is the brain of the computer and since you wouldn't want to have brain surgery, you won't want to do this to your computer later, either. Start with a good processor and anything else can be improved later on if need be. Also before you go out looking at computers, decide what the system will actually be used for. Ask yourself: Who will be using the computer? What will each of those people be using the computer for? How often will you be using the computer? What kind of budget do you have to buy a computer and what is your ideal amount to spend? Where will you put this computer in your home? IE: do you have enough space for a traditional desktop or do you want to consider other options like notebooks or all-in-ones? What accessories (like a printer or MP3 player) will you be connecting to or using with the computer? Once you answer these questions, you can consider what questions YOU need to be asking the sales people: What brand and model is the processor? How much file storage space does the system have? How many USB ports does the system have and where are they located (for attaching accessories)? Does the computer burn dvds or cds? How fast will this computer be? Will I need a better video card? (if you are gaming or watching movies) Will the computer work with the software and accessories I will be using?What kind of warranty does the computer come with and what does it cover? Am I paying extra for the warranty coverage? What if I find a better deal on a computer?

Which computer is best Apple or dell?
In my opinion Mac computers are better. They freeze up less, are more user friendly and aren't susceptible to viruses. They also do not have a registry, like Windows computers do that constantly needs cleaning up..
The one drawback is that Mac computers are more expensive, but I think they are a good investment because they cost less to maintain and last longer.
