Find out if it has spare memory slots, is able to handle more ram in the future, and has sufficient space for adding more parts inside with extra plugs on the main motherboard.

Buy a computer with a 2 year plan, and always make sure you get the best warranty in the market (like Hollasons).

At the very least, your PC should include the original operating system CD. Reputed dealers like Hollasons offer this without waiting for you to ask it!

After-sales service and the quality of service is most important. That is why it makes sense to buy from dealers like Hollasons, who have built their business on the value of their after-sales service.

It depends on your actual requirement. Don’t buy a laptop because your neighbor has one! A laptop is ideal for those who are mobile, who like to take their work to where they are (beach, bar, library, airplane, trains), who lack desk space, and who travel a lot. Desktops are ideal for high-power workstations, gaming, and for those who like to upgrade their computers bit by bit.

A 2.0-GHz Core 2 Duo processor would suffice for daily tasks involving word processing, spreadsheets, e-mail. It delivers a strong performance and has great battery life.

You need a laptop with a quality processor. Remember to ask for the cache memory of the processor. Higher cache memory means better performance.

Memory plays a crucial role in the speed of performance. Entry-level memory should be at least 2 GB DDR3 memory for your laptop, and higher RAMs for the operating systems.

There should be enough amount of hard drive space to provide for storage of music, videos, high resolution photos, etc. Minimum recommended: 320 GB of storage capacity. For additional storage, you can opt for a USB hard drive, unless you want the best money can buy.

Extremely important! Never buy a laptop without taking into account the battery life, or you could end up in an embarrassing situation when your laptop shuts down at the most wrong time during a presentation!

There are two types of Servers - Rack Servers and Tower Servers. Do not buy a rack server unless you already have a rack or have budgeted for one, since racks are on the high side, and sides and shelves for the rack add the cost.

Servers generally come in three levels, viz. entry level, mid-range, and high-range. Entry level servers cost less, and function low, as they have slower processor, less hard drive and memory capacity. Mid- range servers can support up to 75 users and their advantages include hot plug drives, dual processor capabilities, higher levels of memory, better warranties and include management software. Higher range servers have the advantages of the mid range servers but can support much higher levels of users and performance.
