So what do you actually use your computer for? That's the question I usually ask someone who wants a recommendation for a pc. I've been asked to recommend a pc to purchase many times. I usually answer by asking them what tasks they hope to perform, most people only have the very basic needs, which requires nothing more than a $400 entry level computer.
Personally, I typically use it for:
- Watching DVDs
- Watching Video Files
- Internet Radio
- Blogging
- Web Browsing
- Casual gaming (flash, card games, etc)
- Writing
- Spreadsheets
- Paying bills online
- Ripping and Burning DV from miniDV
For anyone interested in such a "basic" computer for email, web browsing and not much else, there is a sale at Best Buy this week (11/9-11/15/2008) for an
eMachines Laptop with AMD Athlon 2650e. It comes with Windows Vista Basic and 1GB of RAM/160GB HD. Its not for everyone, but if you have a low budget and have very basic computing needs, this is a great deal.
So what do you use your computer for?

I use it for browsing the internet, live streaming of news or other available channels, email, and reading blogs.
I spend most of my time on it learning new things from websites and blogs :)
Hi anonymous, I think most people do similar things on their computer. Its always good to know what you do before you go and purchase a new pc for your needs. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
