Problems with my computer and especially the monitor have prompted me to start research on replacements. My old machine is about four years old - that’s prehistoric in the computer world. Truth is that I will buy a monitor at the very least.
I am one of those crazy people that looks at technical specs like response time, brightness, aspect ratio and all that stuff. Once I find a monitor that I like, then I start looking for the best price. It is never easy for me to do anything. And, I’m worse when it comes to buying a new desktop computer. Oh yeah I know they are on the way out, but then so am I.
The size of the hard drive - 1TB, at least 8 GB of memory, and a clock speed/processor time of 3 or better is what I would consider. They are not as hard to find, but they all come with Windows 8. I don’t like Windows 8. To me, the operating system will be short lived because people use PCs for working and the old fashioned Windows 7 lends itself better to running an Excel spreadsheet, without having to drag tiles by the mouse or getting a touch screen.
As usual the bottom line is that I will spend more hours searching and researching.
Then I’ll buy the wrong one.
