Do you find computer technology and the acronyms used to be confusing, even a little intimidating? Tired of the pretentious computer people who laugh behind your back when you use the term “thingy” to describe part of the computer? "The Insider’s Guide: Shopping for a New Computer" gives you the information you need to know before setting out to purchase a new computer and it does it without using confusing or annoying “tech-speak” to accomplish its purpose. Seriously, you don’t have to be a mechanic to buy a car so you shouldn’t have to be a computer technician to buy a computer. By reading this short book you may save hundreds of dollars and you will be sure to get the computer best suited for your needs . In addition to knowing exactly what you want, when the time comes you will also be able to effectively communicate your needs to a salesperson. This book transforms the buying process into a simple procedure and even includes a checklist to help you pick the perfect computer. Written by Rick Robare, the owner of a computer sales and service organization for over 20 years, the book uses easy to understand analogies to achieve the goal of making you an informed shopper. After reading the author’s insights you will be left feeling like one of his long time clients and wondering why it took so long for someone to explain technology this way.
