How to choose the computer? (Professional advice)
The computer is expensive enough equipment so committed at a stage of a choice of a configuration of an error further can turn back additional and volume enough financial investments in replacement poor-quality or inappropriate to specificity of work on the computer of elements. "Avaricious pays twice", - not to show own example justice of this old Russian proverb, will enough entrust process of a choice of the computer to the professional. Unfortunately, features of mentality of the majority of our compatriots define absolutely other approach to purchase of computer technics. Many users with an operational experience on the computer in 1-2 years consider themselves quite to themselves as experts on the basis at least that fact that once they had to carry out a hard disk defragmentation. As a result they with a kind of real gurus distribute to potential clients of shop of computer technics councils about what monitor or the system block should be chosen. Consumers, in turn, trust opinion of such familiar adviser more than to recommendations of the seller-adviser which receives percent for sale of the certain goods and, hence, in the estimation is not objective.
Further we will try to give a number of universal councils which will be useful at a computer choice. So, the first that it is necessary to make, - to be defined with features of the future operation of the computer. It is a question that there is no sense to spend the huge sums and to choose the latest technical novelties in assortment of world manufacturers if further the car is used not for start of actual computer games, and for work in one of standard office applications. Computers for study and office are one of the most budgetary as applications started on their are not ресурсоемкими and do not demand the maximum indicators of productivity or speed of the equipment. The status of "out-of-date" model should not frighten, as still more recently the same model was desired for thousand gamers all over the world, but innovations in this sphere occur very often. In any case, internal resources of such configuration, most likely, with interest will suffice not only for editing and formatting of the text, creation of schedules or presentations, but also for viewing of video, listening of audio of records and work with other popular multimedia appendices.
The mission of the computer for house or office needs in many respects defines such parametres of the car as hard disk volume, reliability and stability of work of the processor, appearance of the case, a diagonal and the monitor permission and so on. To understand with such nuances - destiny of specialised articles, we will give further the general advice of for choice certain base elements of some ideal computer, that is the reliable, modern users focused on average inquiries and optimum on a price and quality parity.
So, a processor choice. It is possible to discuss long what brand to prefer: Intel or AMD to spend tens, and even hundreds tests, in one of which for some percent the product from the first manufacturer, in other - the second forward will be pulled out, the result all the same will need to the same - to be estimated objectively, processors what of these firms it is better, it is impossible, and there is nothing, all of them have already proved as reliable and qualitative production. Now other question: whether costs, squeezing out a maximum of the budget, to pursue purchase of the latest model of the processor, following the maximum size of clock frequency advertised by experts in marketing? Yes, costs, but only only in the event that the user can give extremely accurate and well-founded answer to a question, what for the processor with such parametres is necessary to it, in the computer of what configuration he will establish it and, for example, what calculations by this car will make. The main things, important it is absolute for all users in parametres of the processor its stability and reliability continue to remain.
On volume of operative memory to save experts do not advise. It does not mean that it is necessary to choose only models from 3 or 4 Gb who are created for work with very ресурсоемкими appendices, but also to run into other extreme measure, making a choice in favour of 256 or 512 Mb as it is not necessary. Such volume of operative memory, of course, will suffice for work in a standard office application, but in case of installation of a modern operating system (Windows XP or Vista) such size will appear too small.
The hard disk volume is defined by potential quantity of that the information which will need to be stored on the computer. Thus it is not necessary to forget that important, but seldom used information is better for storing on external data carriers which number demountable winchesters, flash stores, disks concern.
The case for the system block should be made the known manufacturer that will provide its such important operational characteristics as long service life, reliability and noiselessness. Last factor appears very important, for example, in the event that it is necessary to leave the computer included for the night: to download any file or, for example, to count videoclip installation. Among other important parametres of the good case we will note the powerful power unit which has been let out under a brand which has deserved good reputation, a little USB ports, and also sockets for connection of multimedia of devices and FireWire exits on the forward panel, rubber linings in places of installation of hard disks, presence of a special aperture for tap of superfluous heat and the thought over ergonomics of all device. Appearance of the system block, and also the monitor should correspond to an interior of that premise in which will be established.
