Buying a PC

Buying a computer can be a scary and expensive business if you are unsure about what you actually need to buy, especially if you don’t understanding the jargon.

An advert full of jargon doesn’t make the computer being sold any better. For example, a term often used to describe a computer is Multimedia. All this means is that the computer has the ability to play sounds and video. This was cutting edge once, but is standard today.

This guide will hopefully answer some of your questions. It will looks at some of the issues and jargon you will meet when buying a computer:
