When buying a new computer, I look for several things. It must have at least 3 usb ports, HDMI port, ethernet port, a minimum of 4 gigs of RAM, a current processor which is the i7 or i5 by Intel, replacing the HD with a SSD on my own, a camera and a dvd drive or the latest connected media player. AMD also has some nice processors, as is used by various phones. For the hard core gamers of which I am not, a good graphics card and GPU is essential. Now I will keep looking for new potential computers for myself now that I have these specs in mind.
