Computers and cars can be judged using almost the same criteria. You have your “trailer babies” that are carried around to impress but never do much (perhaps your CEO who has the most expensive laptop in the world but only uses it to look at Excel spreadsheets and show it off at board meetings). You have your hotrods that are used to their full screaming potential (by a CAD user or gamer for example). And, finally, you have your daily drivers, which may not be the fastest machine on the block but do exactly what you need—and nothing more—every day. Each have their place. And so, when looking at computers, it’s important that you know what you need, which can be no small feat with the gads of offerings at your local electronics store.
