Computer Question: What Computer to Buy – Plain English Answer

This latest Plain English computer question and answer (audio lesson below) comes from subscriber Brenda Carr who writes asking:

“Worth, I am considering purchasing my own computer, I am now using a computer at the public library. Best Buy is recommending the Asus, but I have never heard of that brand. What do you think?”

Well Brenda, this is a good question, and I have a few thoughts. I’ve recorded this audio computer lesson which will share my advice on what type of computer to buy whether you’re thinking of buying your first computer as Brenda is, or planning on your next computer purchase.

I personally think there are two main options for most people; in this lesson I explain what those two options are, why I think they’re the best choice, and how to decide between them. I also throw in a few other simple tips and explanations of computer concepts along the way.
