Step 1
Budget. Calculate the amount of money you are willing to spend on purchasing a new computer. This will save time, since you will immediately know which computers to choose among, depending on their cost. If you intend to purchase additional accessories as well, budget for them.
Step 2
Form Factor. Decide in which design the computer will be convenient for you, depending on its purpose and operating conditions. The stationary computer has ample opportunities for updating, the candy bar is distinguished by its compactness, the laptop - by its mobility and a large screen, the tablet - by its small size. It is believed that a stationary computer or candy bar is more convenient for home, a laptop or tablet for work and travel.
Step 3
Hardware configuration. Requirements for the hardware configuration can be presented based on the purpose of the computer, i.e. tasks that he will solve. Each class of programs has its own requirements for the computing resources of a computer. For example, most modern games or professional programs have extremely high rates (multi-core processor, large amount of RAM, powerful graphics processor, etc.), and the requirements for office work, communication and the Internet are minimal. It is recommended to make a small performance margin so that the computer becomes more versatile and does not become obsolete longer. Avoid excess performance so you don't overpay.
Step 4
Software. To start working on it immediately after purchasing a computer, decide in advance what set of programs you need. These can be office applications for processing documents, antiviruses, dictionaries, translators, professional programs, etc. As a rule, most stores sell computers with a minimum amount of pre-installed software, for example, only the operating system (other applications have a trial period). Please note that the cost of programs can significantly affect the total cost of a computer. Consider free web app alternatives and self-installation.
