So my friend decided he wanted a laptop. He does not know much about computers so I suggested I would have a gander around at the big names to see what deals are out there...
I headed over to Evesham at
http://www.evesham.com/PCs/List.asp?e=B5D52C8B-7089-477B-80C8-423761230404
and it all seems pretty straightforward.....CPU, RAM, HARD DRIVE etc all pretty standard stuff...
then I went over to the PC World web site

..on the list of laptops page they give for the specs CPU, FSB & Cache. Apart from CPU absolutely pointless info for the average punter that would be shopping down at PC world...
It looks to me that they just want to baffle newbies with big sounding numbers and fancy specs..
Maybe Im wrong......what do you think?
