As a computer engineer I realized that people just want laptop that has beautiful design and it cheap.

That is why some sellers will just give you a beautiful computer with 0.5gig ram, 1 GHz processing speed and 120gig hardisk capacity for as low as $50.

They don't care to know about the capacity of the computer. All they care is to just buy.

What are the three basic features one must look out for?

The three basic features in a computer that one must look out for before purchase are;

Storage
Storage will define the nature of data you want to work with. I got a friend who is a video editor and works with videos but he needs a system that has storage upto yottabyte.

He didn't consider reading my post as a must now he goes on to use external hardisk for his system.

If you are going to be working with big data, I suggest you buy a computer with high storage capacity. E.g 500gig and above.

Speed
Just like one considers the speed of a car before he or she purchases it. Computer has processing speed aswell.

The speed is measured in Giga Hertz. It can also be refered to as the frequency of processing an instruction.

It is carried out by the processor which can be seen as shown below.

Ram
The ram is also refered to as the random acess memory. It helps the processor hold currently handled instructions.

For example I am using the computer to type and at same time listen to music and at same time surfing the internet.

All currently handled instructions are stored temporarily in the ram. That is why the ram is referred to as a temporary source of storage.

A good system must have a ram capacity upto 4gig and above. There are some systems that got 8 gig.

Those ones may be likely to be in stores such as Amazon.

Conclusively
The article has been able to present three pointer reference to purchasing a system. It is essential if you want your system to be fast in processing speed, storage and ram.
