This video is meant for the less tech savy among us, so please share it with family and friends who are in the market for a new Laptop or PC. Often people who don't know much about computers won't look for help on a website like YouTube, so I would really appreciate it if you could show them. :D

Oh and this is the first beginners buying guide that I've done, let me know if you think I should do more videos like this.

Thank you for watching.

Gotta say this video, while useful, is misnamed. This is 'Why YOU should buy a SSD'.

[ashleycollier]

I think the HDD noise is going to become an iconic retro sound just like the dial-up internet sound

[leilalehane]

This is the best thing I've watched in the longest time

Thanks. I now know the importance of SSDS? Now can you make a video about other components to and whether I need specific types (e.g, an i5/i7 processor)?

I got into computers two months ago, when I decided 7fps on a game I liked is unacceptable and I happened to have 1000€ to spend. To anyone who wants pc for more than browsing internet, I recommend building their own. It's very simple and actually quite a lot cheaper. I loved building my own, gathering info and everything was fun. Altough I didn't rely entirely on reviews, which advised me to buy rtx2070 instead of vega 64, but I didn't feel like paying 30% more for about 10% more performance and I don't regret it. I even built it in an old case I had laying around to save more money. Ended up being a cool sleeper, I love it!

Thank you for explaining the difference between a hard drive and an SSD. Your video has great information.

[matthiasdahl]

Very well produced and edited video. Thank you.

Your video is nice, but the only useful takeaway I got was to buy a computer with an SSD. I was hoping you would have talked about desired amount of RAM, differences between a PC and an apple computer (pros and cons of each). Windows 10 vs 11 on a PC etc..

My stepdad has me using his 9 year old computer. It's very slow, and shut's down randomly frequently, although, he refuses to get me a new one, and tells me to delete stuff that may be slowing it down. I do, and it still continues to randomly shut down. It's very frustrating.
