Top Tips For Your aging computer breathe new life bywww.wholesaleeshop.com.au
Last month we looked at some tips that could breathe new life into an aging computer. At some point, though, you just have to give in and there are a lot of things to consider.
The question of what to do when a computer dies has become a little more complex with the introduction of Apple’s iPad last year, not to mention the introduction of other tablet computers in the coming months. But let’s stick to traditional computers Hp dv8000 battery for now.
The first question you need to ask when replacing a computer is whether you want a Windows 7 PC or an Apple OS X computer. If your old computer was running Windows XP, the learning curve will be about the same. That being said, most of the world still runs on the Windows platform. In fact, many specialized programs for many industries will only run on Windows. Even programs for small business such as QuickBooks are only happy with Windows (Intuit does offer a Mac version of QuickBooks, but it is not nearly as robust as its Windows counterpart).
The Apple platform is more expensive than a Windows PC, sometimes by as much as 30 percent to 40 percent. The Mac, though, is arguably a more robust platform with better performance and a longer lifespan. I have personally found my Apple computers last on average about eight years. But if money matters, a Windows computer is going to be a solid choice. Keep this in mind: the Mac can now run Windows almost seamlessly. You may be able to utilize your old copy of Windows to get the best of both worlds, but check for Windows licensing restrictions since some versions can only be used legally on the original PC.
Once you have decided on a Mac or a PC, most of the considerations are the same. First: laptop or desktop? You can get more processing power in a desktop, but how much power do you really need? If you’re looking for a general-purpose computer that works well in the office but needs to be portable, a laptop (Hp dv6500 batteries) or notebook (not a netbook) makes sense. You can attach a larger monitor, full-sized keyboard and mouse when you’re in the office. If you don’t need to take your PC with you, a desktop PC probably makes more sense.
Unless you’re a serious gamer, video producer or engineer, you aren’t going to appreciate the performance difference between a high-end desktop and a mid-range laptop. For the average user, a 64-bit operating system and at least four gigabytes of RAM are fine. Hard disk size is rarely an issue, but don’t settle for less than 250 gigabytes; 500 GB is better. Get the most powerful processor you can afford, but don’t let this be a deal breaker. Again, if you’re not a power user, the difference between an Intel i5 and an i7 processor (Hp pavilion dv6 battery) isn’t going to be that apparent. The same holds true when it comes to video cards. Most current video cards will allow you to connect your HDTV as a display and perform adequately.
Gamers and power users should consider custom-built PCs or high-end Power Macs tuned to the specific job they’re going to do. With a high-end PC, you should consider visiting a couple of local shops and comparing cost, warranty and expertise. The focus needs to be on compatibility of the parts and whether the parts are perhaps too new (bleeding edge), established (leading edge) or almost obsolete (trailing edge). Do your homework. Some stores may be more interested in getting rid of old stock than getting you the best part for the job. And be prepared to wait. Many times the parts for your system will need to be ordered. Assembly time of several Hp dv2000 batteriesdays is not uncommon.
Finally, let’s talk about tablets. I love my iPad and use it for everything from writing to presentations. But it’s not ready as a primary computing device. There are just some things that need to be done on a “regular” computer.
Next month, we will look at tablet computers and netbooks.
