Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Generally speaking: For business and music go with an Apple computer running Mac OS X. For games chose a Windows desktop with a good graphics card. For servers use a Unix like OS, such as Solaris or Linux. Linux systems also make great desktops as they are secure enough for internet use. Of course, the best one for you is the best one for you and no-one knows who you are better than you! Register to see links | ||||||||

Rep Power: 10 ![]() | HP Pavilion P6330F has an i3 processor ,which is a bit faster than the AMD X4 620. However that wouldn't really be a problem because you are not gonna do any cpu intensive tasks.On the other hand ,HP Pavilion Elite e9300z has an additional video card HD 4350 which is much better than P6330F's integrated graphics adapter. So it seems like the Elite e9300z is the best among them. | ||||||||

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | 1. Comparing prices. Buying a laptop that has the same RAM, processor speed, ect. as a desktop is going to be more expensive. This is because the parts are smaller and portable. While many retailers do list laptops and desktops at great prices around the holiday season, you can usually find a desktop for a better price. If you are looking to save money on your computer purchase and still getting a powerful unit, a desktop is a great place to start. 2. Step 2 What is your computer being used for? If you are constantly traveling and on the move, a laptop is a great choice when buying a computer. Especially if you work for a company where you need to make an occasional presentation. While you can save your work to a CD or a USB drive from a desktop, the computer you use might not have the right software to run the programs you need when presenting. So to avoid having any problems, using a laptop will guarantee that you have everything you need when presenting. 3. Step 3 Sizes. When many think of desktops, they think of very large computers that take up a lot of space. But as technology has progressed, this is not the case. Many desktops today can be very similar in size compared to a laptop. Some of these desktops are even portable, but are not as convenient as a laptop. Though the laptop might lack some power that a desktop has, it can be brought virtually anywhere. 4. Step 4 Power vs. size. If you have a certain amount of money to spend on a computer, you will usually get more for your money with a desktop. So if you have large projects to work on, a desktop is your best bet. Some laptops will not be able to handle certain projects that a desktop can. If you need to have a powerful computer but need portability. There is always an option of buying a powerful desktop and an external hard drive to save all of your information on. =================================== Register to see links | Register to see links | ||||||||

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | 1.Jot down all the things you want to do with your computer. 2. figure out how you want to spend. 3.Decide if you want to use a Mac or a Windows operating system (known as an OS). While the newest computers from Apple can run both, most people use one or the other. 4.Decide if you want to a laptop or a desktop. 5.Visit a computer retailer or log onto one online to see what added features you might like and how they will affect the price. 6.Determine how powerful a CPU according to your need. The more powerful the CPU, the faster the computer. 7.Decide how much RAM, or memory, you need. Always err on the side of more. 8.Select a video chipset. People who use lots of graphics-intensive applications should spring for the best they can afford. Everyone else can skimp. 9.Choose the size of the hard drive. If you mainly just email and browse the internet, you won’t need as many gigabytes as someone who does a lot of graphic design. 10.Select the rest of your peripherals, such as your keyboard and mouse. And consider getting an extra display monitor—studies show it can increase your production | ||||||||
