My PC died. It's entirely possible that it may be resuscitated but even if it is, it won't last long and I'm going to get a new PC. Thing is, I don't know anything about computers, I'm as bad, if not worse, than Sir_Didier_Drogba. Basically, I want to know what I should be looking for when getting a new one.
The main caveat is that until I'm notified as to the current PC's potential survival, I won't know what exactly to look for. If it survives, then a relatively cheap, smaller, serviceable laptop that I can use in class and not have to get out of bed when I want to post on SG and wank would be good. Or, maybe one of those bigger (and I assume better everything since they're more expensive) would be good too. If it doesn't survive, then I might be looking at a normal desk-PC to replace it with. But, I assume that at this time I could get a good laptop that performs just as well as a tabletop, so so long as the price is good it is probably preferable.
Basically, my requisites are:
- easy internet use (I assume this is mostly down to the wifi, but if there's anything I can look for in the PC specs that insures quick and painless web-surfing, I'd like to know what that is)
- nothing fancy (I'm not looking for a gaming PC. At most I might get one that is good enough to play FM comfortably, but this is not a requisite, so if the price isn't right fuck it)
- cheap (yeah, I know, but I'm not looking for anything extravagant, just something durable and serviceable)
- good battery life (the longer, the better)
So, what are the specifications that I should be looking at when I go out to searching for a good PC, so that the one I do get fulfills my above-mentioned needs. Also, FM users, what specs do you have and how comfortably can you run FM (how many leagues can you load and how fast does it process, for example)? If you can recommend a particular model or brand, that would be good too, but I prefer to be educated on what to look for so I can judge and compare myself.
