Be Informed When You Purchase A Computer
When you go online or look at ads for electronics stores, you
will probably be able to find a computer that will be just right
for you. There are many types and styles available on the
market. You can find a computer that will take up a whole room
in your house, while you can also find a computer that will fit
into the palm of your hand! At a business, you will probably
find a mainframe computer. In your workplace or at home you will
normally find a desktop computer. In the airport, the person
sitting next to you could be working on a laptop computer or
handheld computer. So, when you find yourself looking for a
computer for your own personal use, you know you will have a lot
to choose from.
When looking for a home computer, nowadays called a personal
computer, you will find it is made up of several parts. There
will be a box sitting on your desk, black, gray or beige in
color. This is your actual computer, containing everything from
the microprocessor to the memory, the storage to the
input/output devices. You can't work with just the "computer"
alone, though. There are accessories that go along with your
computer like the monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. Other
attachments you might find are printers and digital video
cameras.
If you want to buy a computer, it is good to know that there are
two separate categories of computers: PCs and Macs.
- A PC is a computer modeled after components and standards
created by the IBM Company. A rather high percentage of all
personal computers, shown at
somewhere over 90%, are PCs. Some
companies that sell PC computers are IBM, Dell, Compac, and
Gateway.
- A Mac computer is a personal computer made by the Apple
Company. MacIntosh was its most popular style of computer
several years ago. The new IMacs are popular with die-hard Mac
fans, although not as many people today use Mac computers as
used to.
A personal computer in your home can be used for many things,
including word processing chores, personal and business letter
writing, financial records and planning, internet searching,
photography, and many other types of functions like graphic
design and publishing. For the younger crowd, a personal
computer can also be used to listen to music, watch movies or
play detailed video games.
The basic elements of your personal computer that you choose,
like the processor, amount of RAM, floppy or CD-Rom disk drives,
hard disk drive, sound card, speakers, monitor, modem and
graphics card will be determined by what kind of computer user
you plan to be. Heavy users of complex programs will need much
more "stuff" on their computer than the average computer user.
Once you've determined how much of everything you need, you will
be able to calculate an average cost for the computer you want.
