Are you ready to purchase a new computer? Great! The choices can be daunting, though. Just
looking at the price aspect, you can spend anywhere from three hundred euros to several
thousand euros, quite easily.
The first choice you'll need to make is whether to buy a desktop or a laptop. If you need
any amount of mobility at all, we'd suggest a laptop. If you don't plan on moving your
computer around or using away from your home or office, you might want a desktop. Desktop
computers are easier to repair and are cheaper for what you get.
Next, you'll need to make a choice on some of the major features and components of the
computer.
Memory is a big factor in determining how quickly your computer performs tasks - I would
not buy a computer with less than 512 MB of memory. 1 GB of memory would be even better. If
you are planning on doing lots of multimedia work or other tasks that require a lot of
operating resources, you should probably get 2 GB of memory. Also keep in mind that memory
is classified by speed as well as storage size.
You'll also need to decide on what processor you want and/or need. If you're not familiar
with the technical aspects of computer processors and you are going to need a processor
that's more powerful than standard, you might want to consult with a computer expert to
help you make the choice.
You'll also need to choose the hard drive size you'll need. This is any easy choice to make
- just see how much hard drive space you're using now, add in any increases you expect to
need, then add some space for expansion.
There are many, many different components of a computer that you'll have to choose. It's
worth a little time to think about exactly what you need so you make the right choice the
first time.
