GUIDE ON BUYING A COMPUTER

Love them or hate them computers are here to stay and they play a very important role in our everyday lives. I remember when I didn't know much about computers and it was a real task knowing which one to purchase.

There were so many questions needed to be answered what is memory, hard drive and processor. How does the hardware and software work together, so I can get my work done that's all I wanted to know.


When shopping for anything I don't know about I get nervous. Some dishonest salespeople like to know that you are not educated on what you are buying so they can sell you the most expensive item not necessary whats best for you and what you want to get done. All the power is in their hands and you are at their mercy.


Perhaps the above are some of the reasons why I decided to become a computer professional. My name is Paulette Bowe and I specialize in computer refurbishing troubleshooting, website building and Internet Marketing. While home schooling my 4 year old son, who is now in daycare, I manage to work for myself troubling and rebuilding computers and selling them on eBay and other sites.


Now the lights are on in my head and someone is home after spending 4 years acquiring my Microsoft Network Certification.


Here are some tips when buying a computer:

Always Buy brand name Computers, parts are easier to find if damaged.


The more hard rive and memory the better but make sure you have at least 40 gig hard drive and 512 memory 1gig minimum. Based upon what you want to accomplish.


Ram which is your memory allows you to work on different task at the same time, open several programs the more ram the better.

Your hard drive is your primary storage space where you can store all your documents videos picture etc the more the space the better.


Ask when does programs expires on a computer, thats why most computers are so cheap the program expires in 60 days. That's when $299.99 turns into $599.99.


The Processor is where information is processed the faster the processor the faster the information output. Recommend at least a 1.5.

Most people just want to watch videos, save pictures and surf the net .
Do your research in order to met your needs right on the dotted line. I also recommend you take someone who knows about computers with you. Don't get stuck with a computer that doesn't meet your needs. Visit prelovelaptops.com
