Tech shopping tipsIt takes a lot of research to make a tech purchase with conviction. Sam Grobart reduced a lot of hard-earned and complex wisdom to seven rules of thumb in the New York Times. I was pretty impressed with this list because I think his advice is sound and he was able to reduce it to short rules of thumb. His seven rules are a trade off, as most tech advice is. When buying hi tech... -- Pay for RAM, not speed. The speed of the computer chip does not matter; the attention-span or RAM memory does matter. -- Pay for messaging, not minutes. On your phone, your texting is more expensive than your voice time. -- Pay for components, not cables. Buy the best components, and the cheapest cables. -- Pay for speed, not channels. For cable internet, with enough speed you can watch TV channels on the internet for free. -- Pay for screen size, not refresh rate. On TV screens, bigger size makes a difference while refresh rate does not. What tips do you have for tech shopping? |
