At some point, you may decide to purchase a computer. The decision is an important one and will require an investment of both time and money. Like many buyers, you may have little experience with technology and find yourself unsure of how to proceed. You can start by talking to your friends, coworkers, and instructors about their computers. What type of computer did they purchase? Why? For what
purpose do they use their computers? You may find it helpful to visit a retailer such as Walmart, Best Buy, Radio
Shack, etc. and go through the decision making process with a salesperson. You can also use the internet sites
www.dell.com, www.compaq.com, www.ibm.com, www.hp.com, www.acer.com, and others to assist you in
making your choice. You will find at the end of Chapter 8 a “Buyer’s Guide 2010” that will be very helpful.
