To address this amazing lack of self awareness, there have been a number of tutorials, warnings, and infographics to help you navigate these sometimes choppy waters.

As indicated, the information Dell provides is a lot of common sense. In fact, this little chart would be a handy addition for any first-time computer buyer. It would also be handy for parents who are buying a computing device for their teenage son or daughter.

At least with Dell’s infographic, you can be better prepared.
