Do you understand all that computer jargon on the ad?

Hmm, sometimes, it really give me headache, by reading those computer ads from mail. I was currently looking at some cheap laptop computer from Fry's electronic, and microcenter. But those ads with those descriptions really confused me a bit. For instance, "ATI RADEON HD5850 GRPAHICS CARD", the only term I understood is graphic card. Or 802.11 b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi Certified. I am certainly a computer idiot. I don't know much about those jargons, and I don't know which to pick basically.

Basically all I know is, the bigger a number is, the better it is, for the Video Cards, Ram, and Hard rive. I don't have a clue what those 802.11 bg numbers mean, but I know that it is capable to use wireless internet, at least that is what I get by "Wi-Fi".

Wow, good logic. I guess so too, but you have to follow up those affix letter too. Like 1 TB bigger than 250 MB. I would like to learn more, at least wait until my brother has free time to teach me some. I need to learn those jargons, otherwise, I won't know what they are.

Oh, I know that kind of stuff Steph, haha. I know what the stuff does, and which is best, but I just don't know the "fine details" of how it works.

they are just stating its specification in a more technical term, probably to make if sound more techie or specific, those are model and part number which makes a lot more sense to the manufacturer itself, but i am sure they have staff to translate them to you in a more understandable manner.
