Begin by making a list of activities for which you expect to use your system. For example, do you want to use your PC for gaming, word processing, Internet access, graphics, music, or something entirely different? Will you use your computer for a combination of tasks, or will it be primarily dedicated to one particular task, such as small business accounting? Do you want to use your computer for applications, such as home security monitoring, that might require specialized hardware or software? Does anyone who will use the system have special needs that might require adaptive equipment, such as a voice synthesizer or a one-handed keyboard? If you are planning to use specialized peripheral devices or software, check their system requirements to make sure you purchase a computer that can support them. Also, you may have some special needs. For example, if you are an architect and must run Computer Assisted Design or 3D software, you may need a computer in the upper middle range perhaps with an extra large screen. If you intend to make short films, an iMac running iMovie is an option. Laptops are now much cheaper than they recently were, and so may well fit within your budget. Wireless internet access is now available in many locations, such as airports, bus stations, coffee shops, etc.
