Shopping for a New Laptop or Tablet

Is your computer or laptop running too slow, does it take ages to start-up, does it freeze regularly, are you running out of disk space?

These are clues that your computer is getting too old to keep up with the newer power-hungry applications and graphic-intensive websites. It might be time to start shopping for a new laptop computer. There are so many choices for computers on the market today. How do you choose, which brand, what options?

In this course, we will guide you through the process of shopping for a new Laptop & Tablet.

We will show you how to identify your computing requirements, how to read and understand the Technical Spec Sheets.

You have heard the terms: RAM, CPU, HHD, SSD. What do they mean, how to use them when configuring a new computer?

Finally, we will go online and actually configure a laptop so that you can see the process involved and arrive at a price before you actually go to the store to make the purchase.

The goal of this presentation is to help you do your research, so that when the time comes, you will be able to make your computer purchase with confidence!
