You are best going for an Intel Core i3 6100 it is only about £4 more and it out performs an AMD FX 6300.

Cpuboss rating for AMD FX 6300 is 5.4 whereas for Intel Core i3 6100 it is 8.7 out of 10

It depends on what purposes you want to get. You buy a computer(laptop) to work, play games...If you're a gamer, building a case is better, choosing Graphics Card from Nvidia, ADM.

Use a SSD for better performance.

If you only aims to run basic tasks - browsing the web, sending emails, running office-type software like Microsoft Word - then the good news is that most computers, even at the budget end of the market, will be able to cope with your requirements.

First check the processor version is that outdated or any heating issues. Laptop came with intel i5 processor if it a cheap then mainly it has hanging issues. Secondly check the generation of processor.

If you plan on having a steady workstation and don’t need to run around with your for-all-purposes device, consider getting a desktop and saving yourself some money, or spending what your budget allows and getting a computer with higher specs.

Hello people, I just did a huge research for laptops. As I am a student to wanted to learn android app development so I needed a minimum 4gm ram. and i5. and my choice was to have but I came across acer e5 575 model with 8gb lattest ddr4 ram and lattest 7th gen i5 processor for just 36k from flipkart. and im using it and loving it speed. and i also extended its wanrantee to 3 year by a special offer by just giving 1k more. You can see this on flipkart.

Buying a new laptop or desktop PC can be quite confusing. Many people find it difficult to compare prices, features, processor types,etc to find the right choice in accordance with their requirements.

1-Usability
2-Price
3-Operating System Type
4-Size
5-Peripherals
6-Brand
7-Hard Disk

I tend to find it best just to buy an onsale PC and then gut out the less than stellar components and buy replacements. Typically, that would be the PSU and videocard. And the rest that is left is usually fine (e.g. more than enough ram -- virtually all new PCs come with at least 4GB min)

[shubhampanwar]

I want to know that would there be any performance difference between MacBook or Surface pro?

[HowtoGuide]

If you are building a gaming pc, then intel is better. For 6300, you need expensive CPU cooler, motherboard, and PSU which will increase your budget While with Intel CPU you don't need a 3rd party cooler and can run a cheaper mobo and PSU.

If you are not building a gaming PC, it will make no difference what you pick

[Naijasturf]

My pick is Intel because I need higher performance

Basically let's use this thread for the non technical people who want a new computer... could be a laptop, desktop or even a server to learn the important things to look for and where to find good deals. You don't want someone to buy a computer then regret it a week later when they try to install and play games, the graphic card is so out of date or the memory installed is rather low then what is typically recommend.

Also let's tell people how to search for local places where they live to buy them.

I have computer as well, but that has nothing on it except DUST lmao, because i am comfortable with my HP NOTEBOOK

My Hp notebook has 4GB AMD Graphic Card, quite good while playing high performance game as well

My HP laptop's screen recently died. The laptop was less than 5 years old, a big disappointment. My friend is a "computer guy" he checked it out and verified the screen doesn't work anymore. He wiped the hard drive and kept it along with the RAM for spare parts. Too bad, the computer still works but it's pretty useless without the screen.

Looking for a cheap spare, I bought a Lenovo laptop for $199 at Best Buy! Hard to believe they are so inexpensive now. It's not a rocket ship, just the basics with an AMD processor, 4GB ram and a 500GB hard drive. I mainly use it for internet browsing and working with Microsoft Office. Multi-tasking slows it down a lot. It's a nice laptop for the price.

I usually buy Macs.

yes they're expensive. but i can take it to any apple store and get it checked out + they have good customer service. and all of mine have lasted me at least a few years.

plus no blue screens.

[torat hossain]

I think windows is the best chose if you wants to do office works or wants to play video games on your computer device. I won't say Linux or other OS is bad.

[ArabGeek]

the most important to me

CPU
RAM
HDD

[ScriptMan]

I once read an article that I've used as a guideline ever since.

Pick the CPU you want,
Buy a motherboard that supports that CPU,
Buy the most, best RAM that supports that board that fits your budget
Add whatever storage / media you want need or can afford.

Hasn't failed me yet.

If you have enough money then get the following Specs.
For High End Gaming

HDD 1 or 2 TB
SSD 256 GB enough for installing games and operating system
RAM: 16 GB or 32 GB DDR4
Graphic Card: 1050 TI, 1060, 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti, for high end gaming
Processor: chose from AMD's Ryzen series 5 or 7 or i7, 7700, or Intel X series
Display: as the above SPECS support 4k I would recommend you to get a 4k Display.

There are many options for buying a laptop or PC but it always depend on your budget, But people ask for trending features and some companies provide more features in low price but the quality is very bad. instead of bad quality product go to branded company.
