24MayChoosing a computer Part 1

I have lately been taking a simple computer literacy course. So i thought i would share some knowledge with the rest of you. Ok this is for simple people, who barely know what computers do and are made of, basically for me :).

Buying a computer:

Personally when buying a computer you must trust the brand computer. Personally i have a Toshiba laptop, that unfortunately constantly overheats (seems like a common problem with Toshiba laptops). So i would choose a dell computer or laptop. For the Operating system, go with a PC, windows xp at the moment since vista still has compatibility problems at the moment. Windows xp has been standard in most households. There have been basically no problems for me with XP. Okay now, choosing the configuration of the computer. Buy a computer with as much RAM as you can. The more RAM, the faster your computer can please your needs (opens programs with lightning speed and precision). You don’t really need a large hard disk space unless you have a huge pirated movie collection (yes i know there are some). Unless you need a LOT of space for high space movies or programs you would need a minimum of 100 GB space. Next, the display, buy a nice display, not that they better the computer’s performance but when watching a movie, they can really help improving the enjoyment aspect of it.

Well that’s a very simple explanation of choosing a computer

But wait, this is only part 1 of the series, there will also be a part 2, Stick around for this.
