Tell a useful spec from noise
Read a specification list and know which lines describe your own day.
A specification list is written for people comparing machines, not for people using one.
Storage, memory and battery life are the lines you feel. The rest are differences you will never notice.
Key points
- Most of a specification list describes differences you will never notice
- Storage, memory and battery life are the lines you feel
What to remember
- Read for your own use, not for the comparison.
- Read the lines that describe how you use a device.
Try this
Look up the storage figure on the device you already own. That is your baseline for the next one.
