Buying your laptop

When you go out to buy something new and scary, like a computer or a floor-vacuuming robot, it helps to know two things: First, it helps to identify what you want to do with the new thing; second, it helps to know as much as possible about what you’re buying.

For a laptop, you probably want freedom and portability, if not the social status that comes with being a smart, handsome laptop owner. For a floor-vacuuming robot, the only thing that you mustn’t do is alter its programming so that it suddenly becomes hellbent on enslaving your family. Therefore, comparatively speaking, buying a laptop is far less risky.
