If i buy a computer today how soon will it become outdated?

Answer

A computer being outdated is more a matter of feeling then a matter of knowledge. Example: If you buy a computer because you want to play the fastest and the hottest games on earth and you need real computer and graphics power.. your computer will be outdated in half a year to a year at most. Because gaming and graphics is one of the most heavy software you can run on a pc. BUT if you need your computer to browse on the internet, do you financial things, play with photos (no heavy editing) and talk to your friends on MSN or other Instant Messagers you can last at least 3 - 5 years with your computer before it really isnt "usable" anymore.

So the first question to you would be:"What are you planning to do with it.
