Editor's Notes
- #3 Ask yourself these questions to determine what your needs are.For Business mention:Large businesses, such as BC Liquor use an extensive Excel File that requires lots of memory to store their vast inventoryIn regards to Network, businesses have to think about costs
- #4 Age old question.Personal Computers:When mentioning cost, $500-$600 for a basic computer, the mac equivalent is about $1000+Businesses requiring multiple computers, prefer PCsMost programs are developed to run on WindowsIf you like to tinker and replace parts, then that option is open to PCs because of the non-proprietary partsGreat at overclocking, which basically means the computer is capable of processing beyond it’s original specifications better, but be sure not to test the stress too much as it will burn out your computer fasterMacs:Video/Editing: Final Cut, Adobe Suite Programs like Photoshop, etc. Truer Color representation technology supported by ColorSync, industry standardProfessional Recording Studios prefer Macs.Macs aren’t less susceptible to viruses, there are just more viruses written for PCS, can change in futureBoth systems will require anti-virus if you browse random sites and download files from the Internet
- #5 PC’s make up of 89%
- #6 Three main types.Rule of thumb, the more mobile, the higher the cost for performance.
- #8 The brain of your computer. It decides which tasks are more important and prioritizes them to your computer’s needs.Processor Types(AMD Athlon, Intel Pentium, Intel Celeron)Intel Celeron, Low end budget friendly version of the PentiumCoresDual, Triple and Quadruple available, most notably, the i3-i7 that are out right now, all multi-coreEquivalent of running multiple CPU’s depending on number (brains)Funnel, higher efficiency = speedSpeedStandard now is measured in GHz, most are over 2GHz 1GHz=1 million cycles per second of instructions your computer can carry outCacheImmediate memory between the processor and main memory (RAM)Processor can read data so much faster than the main memoryWithout the cache, the speed of your processor would be limited by the speed of your memory.
- #9 Hard Drive CapacityHow much information your computer can hold. (Programs, software, files)RAM SizeThis is where your primary workspace memory is stored. When you run a program, it runs through the RAM. The larger the RAM, the more applications you can run at the same time as they all access this temporary memory space. (Undos, Redos, clipboard, current steps and preferences, are stored in the RAM)
- #10 Chipset/CardWhat model of video card (Intel, Nvidia, ATI)Allows for your computer to handle video applications at specified resolutionsWhen choosing a video card, make sure your monitor can optimize on the resolution that your card offers for best results.The higher the resolution, the sharper the images.Video Memory ConfigurationIntegrated models (Intel), will run the video graphics off of the motherboard, relying on the computer’s RAMDedicated models will run off the video card itself, allowing your RAM room to process other things, these are recommended for video and graphic heavy application usersDedicated models will also have their own fans to keep a computer cool, however a heating plate and extra fans should be considered if you are a gamer or video editorDedicated Video MemoryHow much memory your video card has.
- #11 Most premade systems have an integrated sound system, which runs off the motherboard.Sound cards are mainly manufactured for desktops that can support a more powerful and bigger system, however there are options available for laptops as well, but may not be as extensive due to the available space for parts in them.
- #12 Some additional features that may interest you.
- #13 With processor speed, it can vary for the basic user, but 2.0Ghz will be more than enough for your needs. Netbooks and tablets will have lower processor speeds as they were made to do simple tasks.Tablets and iPads most likely won’t have much more than 1.5GB of RAM
- #14 PC’s currently have a response to Mac’s Air, The Ultrabooks, which are designed to feature reduced size and weight, and extended battery life without compromising performance.Touchscreen technology has really taken a leap with Mac iphones and ipads. This trend is still on the rise with developers moving towards more compact desktop solutions, working with plexiglass type monitors.Microsoft in partnership with Samsung have developed a tabletop computer that can be used for personal and business usages.Responds to devices simply by placing them on the surface. It’ll read files in the device.Order and pay for food on one at a restaurant, bar or caféChat with a stranger a few tables away and make new friendsWas in development since 2001, and the first launch of Surface introduced in 2007. In 2011 the Surface 2 was announced and is now ready for purchase.In Europe, developers have made prototypes for flexible computers, so we may see, not only small units, but bendable and foldable ones too.
