What computer specification to buy?

If you are considering buying a new computer and you are not sure what to go for we are happy to advise you for free. Just call and ask in more detail what specification and budget you should be looking for. Note that this will depend on what features you hope to use.

Generally an average priced laptop for instance between £350 - £500 will usually buy you a computer that can do most  general jobs including browsing on the Internet and Shopping, Emails, Writing letters and other office use and also some casual games (ie facebook games and solitaire types) while operating fairly efficiently. If you are looking for more power to play high resolution graphic 3D games then you will need to look at a hi-end computer at much more cost.

If you buy a laptop below £300 for example you will have a much lower specification and slower computer. If you are patient and speed is not an issue and you are on a tight budget then you can get away with a Laptop below £300. Please note that when buying a cheaper computer it is inevitable that within a short period of time following Windows updates etc it will slow down further and assistance will be required much sooner to improve / upgrade it. Sometimes it is better to spend that little bit more on a higher specification computer at the outset to avoid extra expense in the short term.
