Hi
I know a little bit about computers, so I get asked for advice by family. My cousin inlaw asks my wife for a laptop for her kid for around R4k.
Wife asks me, I said she's going to get a garbage computer for that price.
So we check takalot for the budget. I said SSD will be good to not pull out your hair.
There's a lenovo celeron with 256gb SSD, and a 128SSD with i3 (Mecer, I think)
My wife asks me to explain it in terms her cousin will understand. Like, a car.
I said , ok. An i3 is like her Suzuki swift. Reliable, gets you there.
The celeron is an Uno.
We found a slightly more expensive AMD (me not know much about AMD), she asked what car is that?
I said an Uno Turbo. (But then warned her not to use turbo in her words to explain)
I know i3's range differ in goodness, but at a 4k budget i don't think that comes into this.
anyway, how far am I off with my comparison? Is this a good way to explain computer stuff to non computer ppl?
