Guide to Choose Computer and Laptop for Personal Use

Choosing computer or laptop is not an easy task, some people will aim for the specification and the others having tendency to aim for the brand. But sometimes people tends to forget what are they using thus computer for. This guide is written personally based on my opinion and experience while take look on other people experience while using their laptop.

So which one computer / laptop I should buy?

The answers is really simple, what are you gonna do with this new computer? For example for give better image while making presentation to client you can aim for brand like Apple with it's apple back light logo.  If you are hardcore gamer aim for high specs and those RGB keyboard style. Just remember to buy for what you need. I have some stories from my coworker or friend where they rarely use the computer or laptop they've buy, just remember focus on utility. If you rarely / don't use it often, reconsider before buying it.

What computer specification I should choose?

The rule is simple:

Processor

Aim for higher number core if you need to use more multi processing at once, for example opening browser, music, office, another office and another office program at once, need many program working on the background or just capability to add virtual background on zoom.

RAM

Need for speed? Aim for higher RAM, just keep remember though don't increase RAM beyond your motherboard capability and capacity.

Graphic Card

Needed for graphic related thing, from a simple 2D to hardcore 3D rendering thing. High spec games demanding high spec graphic card. 

Hard disk or SSD?

Need another speed boost? Go on SSD. Limited budget? (still) go with SSD with low storage capacity. SSD is a must for system, it can boost your computer / laptop speed performance around 3 times. If you use computers you can adding hard disk to increase your storage capacity, but if you use laptop or all in once PC reconsider your storage slot before adding it, most of laptop only have single hard disk / ssd slot, but on some computer you can sacrifice CD / DVD to be caddy for SSD or having M2 slot for SSD 

What laptop design I should pick?

Pick a slim design with touch screen support for elegant look, pick a big laptop and wide monitor with many port (VGA, HDMI, MC Card, etc) for utility.

Another thing to consider?

Budget, brand and upgrade capability. If you have limited budget sacrifice the others specs that you didn't need and make sure it can be upgraded, for brand it's depend on the user choice. But some brand are really good and making laptop that really durable, but it's back to the usage of the user. If you maxed out you laptop or computer capability all the time (it can be very heat when touching it) then mostly it won't last long.
