Thankfully they were not at home at the time and the\u00a0thieves\u00a0didn&#8217;t manage to take too much. \u00a0One thing they did take though, was their laptop computer.<\/p>\n<p>The insurance company made an offer for a\u00a0comparable\u00a0PC to replace the stolen one (new for old) but, as four years is a long time in computing, I wanted to be sure that they really were getting a similar specification in 2012 terms. I&#8217;d been careful when I bought the original for them to get something that was OK for standard web surfing, email, etc. but not too expensive. Similarly I didn&#8217;t want anything bargain basement as it would only cause me &#8220;family IT support issues&#8221; later.<\/p>\n<p>My normal answer, when asked for advice on buying new PCs, etc. is to look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcpro.co.uk\/alist\">PC Pro A List<\/a>\u00a0to see what&#8217;s currently rated. Unfortunately that doesn&#8217;t help so much when taking a\u00a0bottom-up view (i.e. starting out with a proposed model and seeing if it offers everything you need, rather than a top-down approach with a purpose in mind and choosing the model to match).<\/p>\n<p>So I turned to the &#8216;net for advice. As helpful as my Twitter followers were, &#8220;what is a decent PC spec for the average home user?&#8221; is a pretty subjective question and the answers ranged from &#8220;I love my Core i7-powered beast&#8221; to &#8220;Core i3 should be fine&#8221;, with some suggesting that i3 might not have enough grunt and I should get an i5 instead. As it happened, there was a similar Core i5 model at the\u00a0same\u00a0price as the i3, but with 4GB RAM instead of 6GB, so I got the insurance company to plump for the faster processor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2006\/02\/finding-right-memory-for-pc-upgrade.htm\">I can add RAM later<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Wikipedia was also useful, for reading up on graphics chipsets (to work out why the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Intel_HD_Graphics\">Intel HD Graphics<\/a> 3000 chipset was an improvement on the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Intel_GMA\">Intel GMA<\/a> X3100 in the old PC &#8211; don&#8217;t be fooled by the smaller number, it seems), and to confirm that I wasn&#8217;t getting a modern version of a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celeron\">budget Celeron processor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One website really stood out though with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Notebook-Processors.129.0.html\">great advice on the various processors and how they compared to each other<\/a>. That site was notebookcheck.net (I was looking at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Intel-Core-i3-2350M-Notebook-Processor.53423.0.html\">Intel Core i3-2350M<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/Intel-Core-i5-2450M-Notebook-Processor.65510.0.html\">Core i5-2450M<\/a>)\u00a0and I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;ll be revisiting when I need to compare specs again in future&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of weeks ago, my parents-in-law were unlucky enough to be burgled.
