Chapter 2: All of this Technology now what!?

Alright so now since you have a nice overview of what computers are lets assume you're in the market to purchase a new one? In this ever-evolving world a computer is one of the most basic essentials you'll need to survive in day-to-day life. So the question is which one? Do you want a Dell, 2 GB of memory, 500 HDD, desktop or something completely different? Unfortunately, there is no true answer to that. Each computer should be bought and built to be tailored to your specific needs. But, there are a few common things that most people, even the non-tech-savvy ones, look for. If you're just an average person who's looking to casually surf the web, maybe check his/her e-mail occasionally, pay for bills, and store random pieces of data(pictures,music,etc.) then it's obvious you don't need anything extremely fancy to handle the task. Fortunately for you there are multiple notebooks and desktops available that will fit your needs for around $500. Nevertheless, if you're in the market for a laptop or desktop for a business or something to fit your hardcore gaming addiction or video-editing software then you might need something a little more expensive and powerful. For those who are, realize that you will most likely be paying well over $500 for your computer unless you plan on building it yourself. In which case you will still most likely be paying over $500 for parts and the extra labor you might need. In terms of the specifications for these computers the hardcore gamer/video-editor may need extra RAM, a graphics card, and a faster processor, whereas the business owner may need extra bandwidth, a strong wireless signal, extra monitors, and printers to accommodate his needs.
