Buying a Computer For Idiots

Topics to be Covered  Types of computers  Computer brands  What kind of computer best suits you? Tons of gnarly facts!!!

Computers For Every Need

SupercomputersWorkstation Computer Really fast, really expensive computers used by sciencey-types A computer used for software development, used by engineers and other nerds Personal Computer A computer used by your average consumer on a day-to- day basis

Desktops Laptops Notebooks, Netbooks Tablets Non-portable PC’s with a lot of hard drive space and a lot of RAM. Extremely light and portable, but with less hard drive and memory than desktops. Portable computers with a decent amount of RAM and hard drive. Computer contained within a single touchscreen device. Highly portable but with limited capabilities.

“RAM” stands for Random Access Memory. It is used to hold information for applications that are currently being used, for ease of access and rapidity.

Pros and Cons of Various Brands

Acer/Gateway If you’re looking for a cheap computer, Acer is for you. This company offers aggressively priced laptops, but at a price. Problems often occur with them.

Dell/Alienware Dell has an enormous variety of computers, all with different uses, specs and features. With Dell, some people love it and others hate it. Alienware is almost universally loved by all who use it. It comes with tons of customizable features. It is primarily used for gaming.

Hewlett-Packard HP comes with excellent multimedia performance. It has nice overall visual appeal. However, it doesn’t come without its share of complaints. Reliability is often a big issue.

Toshiba Also sometimes called, “Toshitba”. In theory, Toshiba has great potential. However, most consumers think otherwise, due to no end of problems and no help from support. Most hate it, others despise it. Few like it.

Lenovo For the most part, Lenovo receives positive reviews from customers. According to an online review, it has excellent build quality, best in class ergonomics and helpful tech support.

Asus Asus offers some of the best-looking computers around. Other than that, there isn’t much else to be seen. Slightly worse than average, there is a lot of improvement to be done.

Apple By far the most well rounded computer brand on the market. Apple offers highly reliable computers that almost never have issues. Their design is sleek and compact, and apple offers a helpful technical support system. The only major flaw: they are CRAZY FREAKING EXPENSIVE

People who own an excess of apple products are known as “hipsters”. Hipsters usually possess an iPhone, a Macbook, and sometimes iPads. Hipsters are easily identifiable by their hornrim glasses, scarves, knitted sweaters and ugly leather shoes. To see a hipster in its natural habitat, go to your local Starbucks.
