Start with: “The first question you have to ask yourself is what you will use the computer for. Then you can decide what computer will fit your needs by considering the following factors:”

• The quality you need and the price you are willing to pay
• Three basic features make a big difference: the CPU speed, the RAM capacity and the size of the hard drive. To run highly demanding applications you will need a fast processor, a spacious disk and RAM.
• If you already have peripherals and software, you will have to ensure they are compatible
• Ensure if the computer is expandable, i.e. it should allow you to add on new peripherals
• Finally make sure that the system is reliable, check that you will receive the warranty and good technical support.
