Help i need some advice on buying a laptop or a desk pc and i have one now but still need help!!!!!?
Answers:
Processor - How fast your computer "thinks"
RAM - How much your computer can actively "think about" at a time
Hard Drive - How much storage space your computer has
CD/DVD Drive - Allows you to view information on CD/DVD. A DVD-RW, or burner drive will allow you to burn DVD's, and likewise for a CD. You should get soemthing that has a DVD Drive (not neccesarily burning) as much information is sent on DVD's now, as well as so you can watch movies.
Processor - anything over 1.8 Ghz is fine for most programs
Ram - 1 GB (gigabyte) is advised so your computer runs well
Hard Drive (HDD) - anything over 80 GB is good, more is better
CD Drive - Either DVD-RW, or DVD AND a CD-RW(cd burner)
Go visit your local independent computer store, they will be more than happy to explain what is on or inside your computer, what all the abbreavations mean and how it all works together. And when your ready for a new PC visit them. Your independent store will sell you what you want, ensure it is all configured, updated and running properly, give you a test drive before you take home, then all you need to do is hook-up the mouse, keyboard, monitor, printer/fax/scanner and you Internet and your in business. Best of all if you need service or support they are right there in your community not a (800) telephone call away and they even speak your language. Best of all they should offer free warranty of between 1 to 3 years. My local shop offers 3-years warranty and lifetime warranty on the motherboard. They should be less expensive then the on-line or bog box retailers.
In todays world a dual core processor with 2gb or ram and a 120gb hard drive is about all you need. For operating systems Microsoft XP over Vista or Ubuntu (free) by Linux.
Do you mean DVD? That is the little tray on the side that lets you watch movies. A CD burner lets you download information and record it on a disk. No need to worry they are included in most LTs. Sounds like you can go basic with a Compaq C500 or Dell 1501.
