Select the best computer to purchase

based on your needs. (3 questions)

What will you (really) use it for?

Take the time to determine what activities will be

performed on the computer: Will it serve as a simple
web-browser and document creator? Or the foundation
for a home entertainment system? Gaming unit? Photoor video-editing workspace? Each of these options
requires its own unique combination of hardware and
software, which will need to be considered when
evaluating various PCs' specs. The ability to determine
these requirements will assist in finding the right PC
that both meets ones needs and budget.
Whats under the hood?

Take the time to learn a thing or two about the

components of a computer in order to determine what
upgrades should be invested in. A few key pieces of
hardware to consider are the RAM, the processor and
the graphics card. Additionally, if shopping for a laptop,
features such as the battery life, Wi-Fi capabilities and
various Bluetooth features will also be important.

Does size matter?

While most laptops only weigh a few pounds, those
pounds can begin to feel like a real burden when
lugging them around all day.

Do you want a printer with that PC?

First time buyers may need additional peripherals
such as printers, ink cartridges, external hard drives,
mouse, keyboard, monitor, computer bag, necessary
software (like Microsoft Office), etc. These are often
presumed to be inclusive costs, but may in fact need
to be purchased separately. Its important to create a
total budget for all necessary components that will
be purchased with the computer.
Its important to create a total budget for all
necessary components that will be purchased with
the computer.
Do you know what you are getting?
Rather than viewing a PC as one complete unit,
consider them as a collection of parts, and each part
has a price. Being able to identify which pieces need
to be prioritized over others will create the most
cost-efficient PC that meets your demands.
Browse the web for the best deals
Not all computers are made the same, and the
ability to evaluate them based on personal needs
will help to save money and find the perfect match
ones demands.
