Some Useful Computer Advice



Here is some useful computer advice and some useful resources if you are looking for a new computer. It is exactly what I would tell you to do. I can't promise you that I will be 100% right or that what works for me will work for you, but you can judge that for yourself. I'm just trying to tell my friends what knowledge that I have accumulated about computers and how to approach buying one. So, take this as a disclaimer.

My Advice

This is what I would tell you if you asked me on any given day what I thought about buying a new computer or an upgrade. I am not guaranteeing that it will be right which is why you should always check with other sources especially if you have net capacity (which you obviously do or you wouldn't be here). So, take a look at some of the other links on this page and weigh all of the information together.
