Should you buy a new computer now or wait for another four months? – Part 3

In addition to the processors, the operating system is another issue that needs to be addressed. Because Microsoft has announced the tentative release period of their upcoming Windows version, Windows 8 to be the third quarter of calendar 2012, the computer industry is in a frizzle. This however, is not because the software goliaths have announced a new operating system but the new OS is actually a hybrid between a desktop version and a tablet version. Its versatility has not only been an intimidation to its foes in the market, iOS and Android, but it has also put the customers in a bit of a dilemma as well.

The new operating system has raised another question to whether purchase or not a new laptop with Windows 7?

It also has two answers, and they depend on the nature of need from the customer. Does the user want a tablet-cum-laptop or a laptop?

There are speculations that the new series of Ivy Bridge processors is going to lead to slimmer and touch-sensitive hybrid laptops. This might solve the problem of those who can afford to wait for another seven to eight months. For those who want a laptop with a windowed interface and a lot of space to play movies and games, the current line of laptops will just do the trick.

For suggestions, my post is always open, and I encourage you to add your feelings and ideas to the post. Please, drop your suggestions in the comments below.
