The computer is among the most used units in the whole world and this may be attributed to the truth that it has a wide range of uses. However to be able to get the best from our computers, it is crucial that we know about certain facets of the computer and what could be done to enhance its performance.
For one, you should ensure that the computer is operating on the latest operating system that is available as these are usually improvements of the previous versions and the developer would have dealt with the problems that were in the previous ones. For example, when you talk about the Windows 7 from Microsoft, it is said that the problem of crashing that was common with their previous operating systems has been lessened as well as promising a better outlook when you use it. The Snow Leopard from Apple is said to be much faster in terms of loading the pages from the net, and occupies less space on the computer's hard drive. Most of these operating systems would only require you to do an upgrade of the one you had previously, especially if you were operating with the OS from the same company. You would not need to buy a new computer.
If you are one who likes to travel a lot, and you find that even your laptop is a bit too bulky, the net book would be a great option for you. You could have it as your second computer, because it does have its limitations, such as its small screen size, which makes it unsuitable for such tasks as watching movies, or playing games. It also lacks a DVD drive; hence you would need to transfer your files to a flash disk if it is a must that you view them on the net book. This computer could however be suitable for you depending on your intended use of the computer.
It is also important that you understand of you really need to buy that new computer, as it might be possible that all that your old computer needs is a simple upgrade. If it is the memory of the computer that is driving you to consider buying another, you may just need to transfer your old files such as movies, photos, videos onto external disks, or you could add a hard drive to the computer.
