From desktops to laptops and tossing in tablets for good measure, today's consumers is faced with quite the buying conundrum as it relates to what to buy in the world of technology, more specifically buying a computer.
Consumers tend to focus on laptops that are thin and flexible, the kind that can fold over like a book and double as a tablet. They stress battery life and portability as features they can't live without. The desktop market is all about finding one that doesn't take up a lot of desk space or can be equal parts compact, yet sport a monitor that is hardly mediocre. In an age when 4K ultra high definition TVs are becoming all the rage, why can't you have that same sharp picture on your at home desktop computer.
Simply put, the consumer when it comes to computer buying wants versatility. They say you can't have it all, but one company disagrees wholeheartedly with that assessment.

Who hasn't looked around the garage, taken stock of what they have and thought about how to earn extra money by getting rid of what they don't use?
The question remains not so much if you're going to sell or even when but rather how. How do you know what online site has the most bang for the proverbial buck? Should you leave it to Craig's List and minus the fees or go with something like eBay, perhaps more reputable than most but chocked full of ways to make you pay?
The truth is some sites work really well and others not so much.
eBay easily is in the discussion as one of the more reputable ones, but don't discount the selling power of Amazon, either. Amazon is a powerhouse, tour de force and one of the more attractive sites to sell your items. The key to selling is the credibility of the site you're on (something that Craig's List struggles with, at no fault of its own).
Craig's List has the reputation for forcing you to deal with people that waffle on buying decisions or simply no show altogether after you've potentially driven miles to a meeting point. Craig's List also is well documented as a site that is filled with scams, something you won't find too frequently if at all on Amazon or eBay.

Who hasn't had to deal with a slow computer? 
Even users of Apple, those with the latest and greatest laptop or a high powered desktop, you still can find yourself at the other end of a slow computer that is driving you crazy.
The next step most consumers take is trying to find someone or some place of business to fix it, and that can be costly on a number of levels, whether you're paying for parts, the deductible even if you have insurance on the computer or the ridiculous hourly rate that you'll find on that invoice.
And while some PC and Mac problems can't be fixed by the user, and often times you have to seek the help of an expert, you also can find a way to take the problem as your own and tackle the slow computer on your own, minus the high fees that typically are involved.
Some may find it too difficult, but the truth is that fixing it doesn't have to be an all in or trying task.
The easiest place to start is deleting temporary internet files and programs that you're not using. This common task has been around since the dawn of the computer, and the programs and deleting them will make a slower PC run like a charm most of the time.

The evolution of the laptop is one that has taken quite the downturn recently in some ways given that this type of computer no longer costs a few thousand but more like a few hundred.
In short, the laptop has turned into a lap dog.
But should price be the only way to determine if a laptop really is worthwhile owning?
Unless you're an avid gamer and you need some serious horsepower, laptops have come down in price for the masses and with good reason. Most who use a computer or laptop will tell you that they don't need a boatload of memory or processor speed give that they're mostly using it for the internet and perhaps email and a few photos here and there. Even the most modest laptop is going to be just fine for those reasons.
One laptop, in particular, is the epitome of where laptops have gone in recent years: the Lenovo Idea Pad 100s. The laptop is small but has a superb battery life and the best part about this little gem: the price.
