TigerDirect.com offers hands down the best prices on new and refurbished desktops and laptops.

As some of you may be able to relate, I’m my family’s technical contact when it comes to computers and technology. While sometimes this can be quite a chore, TigerDirect.com has made it extremely easy on me. When a family member calls me and says something like, “I want to upgrade to a new computer, this one is too slow.” I’m already on my way to my computer to visit their website to start the search.

My last two desktop computers, my mother’s desktop computer, my brother, his wife and his daughter’s desktop computers have all come from TigerDirect.com‘s website. Not to mention the friends that I have helped find computers. And, to add to the list, my brother and my mother are each going to be purchasing a laptop from TigerDirect.com with their tax returns this year.

This is no joke, TigerDirect.com has the best prices and service. They regularly have discounts on shipping or are running other specials such as their $20 cashback on $200 dollar purchases.

Desktops and Laptops aren’t all they sell!
Far from it. Monitors, Keyboards, Mice, Memory, Hard Drives, Cam Corders, Digital Cameras, HDTVs, Plasma TVs, Projectors, Cell Phones, MP3 Players… sorry, need to catch my breath. And this is just scratching the surface. Oh, and by the way, all of these items are at unbeatable low prices.

Question:
How fast should a processor be for a laptop that would be used for programming and web design?

My Answer:
Well, I’m a Web / Graphics Designer and I went with a 2.2 ghz processor. That being said, it is also a quad core. Essentially what this means is that while there is still only one processor in my computer, it is split into four individual processors for the purpose of processing information. Basically it’s like 4 processors in one. This allows for a lot of multitasking and different programs to be open at once.

Also important would be the RAM, another poster here focused on that as an important point, and I believe so as well. I currently use 2 gigs of DDR2 RAM and sometimes have get low memory warnings while heavy in designing graphics. If money is no limit, 4 gigs+ would be best. However, you should be able to make due with 2 gigs. You would also be better served to go with a 64 bit operating system, this way if you decided to upgrade past the 32 bit cutoff for memory usage you will not need to upgrade your OS also.
