Question
I'm planning to buy a new laptop in a couple of months or so, but I have no idea what tech specs I should go for. I'm on a budget and would only like to get specs that I really need.
On that note, I was wondering if there's a software that can monitor my laptop usage over the next 2 months and then tell me what are the minimum requirements that I would need. So the software would read the memory usage, CPU usage, etc. over 2 months and then tell me (or at least give me the info I need to decide) what are the optimal tech specs I should go for.
Anything out there that can do this?
Explanation / Answer
The best thing you can do is:
try all applications you are interested in
if you notice some are not working as fast as they should go online and search for their system requirements and look for a computer based on that requirements
Also you could also use Microsoft Upgrade Assistant:
runs on XP, Vista and 7
free
scans your software and hardware and tells you if you can run Windows 8/8.1. If it says yes, then you can start looking for a laptop with similar hardware like your current PC.
