They try to say you won't need upgrade too soon. Just marketing speech for "buy the latest and most expensive - it will give you 2 extra months".

It's just marketing speak. The claim is that the technology in your brand new laptop is so advanced, it will be suitable for years and years. In reality, there's no such thing: computer technology advances so quickly that even the upgradable elements in the laptop will soon be out of date because the new versions won't be compatible. However this is inevitable, so the only thing to do is to buy the best you can afford now, and not worry about the future advances too much.

I bought a 3.2 ghz P4 Toshiba with a 124 mb Graphics Card, 40 gig Hard drive and 520 mb of ram, with DVD recorder and wifi for £400.00 about six months ago..
Fabulous thing - and I will be delighted with it for years, as I don't go looking for what else I could have had for the money, or go worrying about laptops whatsoever.
So - It is totally future proof, and state of the art because I choose to be a totally Ignorant so and so.
If you get into this habit early, you will save yourself a absolute fortune, in cars, I.T, Guitars etc etc etc.

When they first sold the Austin Allegro, they claimed it was the future of motoring...if you're buying a laptop make sure it isn't an allegro in disguise.

nothing laptops (or any comp) cant be future proof! look how fast technology is evolving! i think they are basically trying to make you beleive you wont need to upgrade your computer as often as you think! but you will so ignore it!

It means that it will be able to cope with all the hardware and protocol changes that are currently in development that will be released to the market in the foreseeable future without any upgrades.

Not obsolete in the future. i.e. they have more staying power.

it means that each component is fully upgradeable so you can just buy new components as technology advances and you dont have to buy a whole new computer
