Area 14/8: Choosing the right computer

Most computer users don’t think much when it comes to an Operating System (OS) that runs on their computers,whether it’s a desktop or a notebook. For them all that matters are the few software applications that they use to achieve their purposes either for work or entertainment or both. The software application majority of computer users use (and sometimes have only used) is the web browser or the program used to browse the INTERNET. Tasks for which home computers are most used for are web browsing,email,chatting and audio / video communication. With increase in game console systems like Sony PS3 ®,Nintendo Wii ® and Microsoft Xbox ® to name a few,the computer’s role in gaming is quickly diminishing.

Tablet computers have further decreased computer’s utility for a casual user. Tablet computers not only offer instant on (without delay power on) but also allow users to achieve most of their objectives much more easily and quickly through a more “natural” touch graphical user interface (GUI). Due to the touch screen technology,especially the multi-touch capacitive screens,interaction with tablet computers is much more efficient and fun. This new screen technology coupled with powerful hardware (all the electronic parts inside the tablet which you cannot see),tablets have become not only powerful tools for professionals like architects,engineers,doctors etc. but have opened a new game market with highly interactive and immersive entertainment and infotainment experience.
