The method to buy Computer on EBay

Every purchase begins with an assessment of exactly what it is that you want and need for your particular set of needs. Laptop Accessories Computers are, for the most part divided into two categories

1. Desktop
2. Notebook or Laptop Computers

Notebooks are divided into 3 main types of notebooks:

* All-Purpose: These models are your 'standard grade' models and can be used for general purpose functions such as word processing and general Internet access.
* Desktop Replacement: These models are the Gateway PA-1650-01 AC Adapter large screen types that handle higher end functions such as online gaming, large software program functioning, and non-travel business utility functions.
* Ultra-Portable: Generally the highest price models on the market, these very slim, very sleek models are a favorite of the Liteon PA-1650-01 AC Adapter on-the-go business traveler. They offer high speed internet access, ultra-easy Internet access capability, as well as massive storage capacity.

Laptop Specifics:

* Screen Size: Two words - LCD screen. Size is relative to your desire for portability. You will find a wide range of sizes for display screens, but bottom line, if portability is your need, remember screen size dictates true portability.
* Screen Resolution: Higher Resolution is a must. A standard rule of thumb - 15.4? display 1280×800 resolution, for a 14.1? display 1024×768 resolution, 12.1? display either 1024×768 or 1200×768 resolution. At the time of this writing, the highest resolution available for the aforementioned screen sizes are 15.4" screen 1920×1200, 15.0" screen 1600×1200, and 14.1" display 1400×1050.
* CPU/Processor: The CPU is over hyped in most cases. A computer is about the multiple systems working together, not unlike the human body. Intel makes arguably the best, widest used, most compatible microprocessors on the market.. AMD also has a very solid product and has Dell Inspiron 6000 Series keyboard experienced an increased market share in the last several years. These two manufacturer's are the '800 pound gorillas' of the Processor World. I would not purchase a computer of any kind without one of the two of these 'under the hood'.

A Note about Buying on eBay: There are a lot, and I mean a lot of scams on eBay - be it Laptops, IPods, or XBox 360's. How do you get scammed? The biggest problem is with inflated shipping costs. If you see "Calculated Shipping" charges, RUN YOUR ZIPCODE first. Rouge sellers Dell AD-4214N AC Adapter love to stick it to you when it comes to shipping, and many incorporate their profits into shipping charges. Also, make sure a computer is not refurbished, or if it is, make sure it was refurbished by the manufacturer, and COMES WITH A WARRANTY. Do not trust small-business-refurbished items.

* Memory: 512 MB minimum memory is the rule for Windows XP - this operating system eats memory like a fat relative on Thanksgiving. 384 MB is the minimum requirement for Windows XP for basic functionality.
* Storage / Hard Drive: 30-40 Gigabytes is more than just about any standard user needs for storage capacity. This is another component of a PC that is over-hyped. Most people do not come close to using even 50% of their storage capacity. 30-40 gb is more than enough for most, unless you are running your computer as a business server...and one should never use a laptop for such a thing. Servers should be 'stationary objects'. Hard drive speeds range from 4200 RPM, 5400 RPM to 7200 RPM. 4200 RPM's can run slow. Most run at 5400 RPM, and is recommended. 7200 RPM drives can get pricey.
* Pricing: Obviously an important consideration for your laptop. This is where the beauty of buying from Dell comes into play. You can Gateway PA-1650-01 AC Adapter build your PC and watch your cost as you build. The most important thing to do is to head into your purchase knowing how much you can spend - not unlike buying a car - know what you can afford.
* Optical' Drive: Make sure your optical drive can to the following: Read and write CD's, and read and write DVD's. This is the standard for drives these days, and no new laptop/PC should come Acer SADP-65KB (REV.D) AC Adapter without these capabilities.
* Wireless Internet (Card):Recommended for all Laptops in today's day and age.
* Modem: Also recommended for Laptop purchases. They are an inexpensive option that will allow for increased Internet accessability.
