Choosing a computer in the past is quite easy, just need to pick who has the fastest processor. But the same does not apply in the present.


Quoted from Cnet, Saturday (13/10/2012), there is a very strong argument that the current processor performance, even in a class of low-cost entry level, has reached a level sufficient to use all the users.
Especially those who are using the PC for typing, email and Internet browsing.

Clearly, there are some people who need the ability to process as much as possible. Usually for graphics intensive work relies, such as gaming, video editing and Photoshop.

For those of them that usually require a desktop or laptop with a good graphics card.

There are other factors that affect overall PC performance. For example, a PC with a processor Core i7, 8GB of RAM and 750GB hard drive two years old may be slower than cheap laptop dual core less than one year old.

The reason is Windows. The reason is a software system that supported class can still be so messed up when its Windows artery clogged.

This could happen within 12 or 18 months if users install and uninstall a lot of software in the main system. Especially when compared to a cheap laptop is filled with nothing more than Thunderbird and Kingsoft Office.
