What makes a good computer?

What makes a good computer?

We live in a world where computers are always evolving and changing. Some Computers are fast; while some are slow. But what makes a good computer, good?

The Purpose of a Computer

The first question you should ask when thinking about a good computer is "what is the purpose of the computer?". There can be many computers that are good for certain things. Some computers are great for work, some are good for gaming. 

Super Computers

The best computers in the world are the super computers. They are some of the fastest computers in the world and are measured in FLOPS (Floating-point operations per second). But they are only owned by companies for scientific research. These super computers can not be accessible to the public because they are expensive. So to truly look for a good computer we must look at something that is sold to the public.

Good and Fast

But I think what truly defines a good computer is its speed and Storage. We can measure the speed of a computer in its processor's clock speed and its number of cores, the clock speed will determine how fast your computer can process information. A good computer will have a good Processor, but it will also need a lot of RAM (Random-Acess Memory). The processor will need to read information from the RAM and thus the faster the processor the more RAM you will need. The best processor right now is the intel core i7 7700k with 4.5 ghz (turbo) with a quad core. A good computer will also need storage, the amount of storage can depend on the user, if the user does a lot of work or download a lot of games then the user will need a lot of Storage. 1Tb of storage should be the standard amount of storage a computer can hold.
