Performance The performance of a computer system is based on numerous factors. The CPU, GPU (video card processor), RAM, VRAM, and hard drives all have some impact on how well a computer system performs. With the continuous use of hard drives, fragmentation occurs. This occurs when files cannot be contiguously stored. Basically, files are broken down and scattered around the hard drive. The computer than has to provide extra work to reassemble the files when needed. This effectively slows computer performance

looking for a high-performance laptop, or something that'll last you for a good few years, go for a faster processor. Memory (Ram) Ram (random access memory) is your laptop's short-term memory, storing information while you're using the laptop (the hard drive is used for long-term file storage). The amount of Ram your laptop has determines how many tasks it can accomplish simultaneously. Aim for as much Ram as you can afford – ideally at least 4GB to make it easier to rip music while you're surfing
