To provide fast startup of the operating system and ensure that using this computer gives only positive emotions we have installed a 240GB SATA SSD with fast 550 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write speeds.
This Home & Business series computer has no discrete graphics card but it’s using integrated GPU which is good enough for everyday tasks and playback of high resolution videos. If you’re looking to play modern games you have to take a look at our Gaming series offerings.
Nowadays we spend more and more of our time at the computer, so ergonomics should be a serious consideration when choosing a computer. There is a very strong relationship between proper ergonomics and optimal health. Laptops are not suitable for prolonged use due to their relatively small screen which is located too close to the keyboard. Therefore, only one of these elements can be positioned correctly at the ideal distance from the user. Continuous use and an unnatural sitting position can result in neck and back pain and even lead to deformed posture. Plus, the small screen increases strain on the eyes which can make your vision deteriorate over time.
By choosing a desktop computer equipped with keyboard, mouse and a large monitor (or two) it is much easier to set up the workplace that suits your body to avoid fatigue and pain in muscles and joints and eliminate the possibility of serious problems in the long run.
Remember to take a small 3 to 5 minute break after every hour on the computer! No matter how ergonomically your workplace is arranged you should stand up, walk around, flex your muscles, joints and eyes by alternately looking to close and far objects so the eye muscles don’t adapt to unwanted focusing at a certain distance.
Mobile processors and graphics cards have become more powerful in the last couple of years but the difference between the performance of a laptop and a desktop PC is still marginal. Of course you can run modern games and even professional photo and video editing software on a laptop but at the same price point a desktop computer will offer more performance than a laptop at almost any task.
In our experience insufficient cooling is also a serious problem in laptops and there’s an easy explanation – users want their devices to be powerful yet thin and light which is almost an impossible combination to achieve. Most consumers and manufacturers prefer design and mobility over performance, which results in a visually attractive product that heats up rapidly after just few minutes or even seconds after putting an increased load on the main components. Laptop fans start spinning faster to cope with the excessive heat. This increases the noise and is very often not effective enough, so the CPU and/or GPU reaches its temperature limit and the thermal throttling (self-preservation by significantly lowering the clock speed) kicks in. That results in a big loss of performance.
You don’t have to worry about overheating when you purchase our Home & Business series desktop PC. We have installed optimal BOX Cooler which will make sure that the Pentium Gold G6400 processor delivers its advertised performance without overheating. The temperature and noise levels will remain at a comfortable level all the time.

When the operating system is started it "loads" from the HDD to the RAM. The same process happens with all the applications and files opened with them. Therefore it is very important to have enough space in the RAM for all the above data for enabling the CPU to handle this information at a high speed.
If insufficient capacity RAM has been selected the CPU starts to use the HDD for its short-term operations and the computer becomes extremely slow at this moment. Therefore it is important to buy the memory volume required for handling the relevant tasks.
For average use, like the Internet browsing, working with documents and enjoying multimedia possibilities, 4GB RAM is fully sufficient.
For demanding 3D computer games, video/audio editing applications and any professional software at least 8GB RAM is required.
You should remember that there is never too much RAM. Therefore, if you can afford it you should buy more. Still you should take into account that the RAM is a parameter which can be upgraded by buying additional volume later if there are enough free memory connection slots in the motherboard.
The most important difference between video cards is in their GPU or the central graphics core. This parameter determines the graphic performance and can be improved only if the whole card is replaced with another one.
Also video cards with equal GPU and model may differ by the volume of the graphic memory, the memory type, the cooling type and clock frequencies.
The graphic memory volume provides a possibility to play 3D games at a higher resolution, therefore, if you like games and plan to buy a big monitor or several monitors you should select a video card with the memory capacity of at least 1GB. If a video card is short of graphic memory it may "borrow" the necessary volume from the computer RAM. Still the difference in speed is considerable and in favour of the graphic memory.
You should pay attention to the memory type and frequency. DDR3 memory is better than DDR2 and slower than DDR5. And also DDR3 1800MHz memory will be faster than 1600MHz memory of the same type. Also the memory bandwidth is important within one memory type. Thus, DDR3 256bit memory will be faster than DDR3 128bit memory.
The type and quality of cooling is among the most important selection criteria of a video card. A good cooler contains one big or several small cooler and a bigger radiator than the standard cooling equipment of the relevant video card. You should ask our managers and they will help to select the best offer.
It is possible to buy a good cooler as a separate device, however, it is quite expensive ~25 LVL, therefore it is better to buy a card with sufficiently good cooling included.
When cards with identical GPU are selected you should pay attention to the availability of OC (OverClock) or industrially overclocked versions of the card. This type of the card secures higher graphic performance, still it has to be taken into account that it is usually achieved on the account of more intense (louder) cooling and operational stability.
An SSD disc consists of microchips, thus there are no moving parts in it and it is completely silent (0 dB). Due to this fact an SSD disc is more resistant to vibration and other mechanical impact than an HDD.
Due to the construction specifics higher volume SSD discs usually are higher-speed and the different in the speed can be even multifold. Therefore prior to buying it you should study carefully the indices of the operation speed of the SSD disc - reading and writing speed in Megabytes per second (MB/s). The operation speed of an average SSD disc has to be ~250 MB/s. Read un ~200 MB/s. Write. For high performance discs these indices will be ~350 MB/s Read un ~450MB/s Write accordingly.
The operation speed and volume of SSD discs is improving rapidly and the prices are falling. Therefore you should buy this type of disc only when the high-speed operation and silence are more important than the relevant investment.
Only the users who like to save everything or whose work specifics include a high volume of data, like, professional editing of photos and videos, large scale database systems, etc., should buy a disc above 1TB. For an average user a 1TB disc is "more than enough"
Besides the volume it is also necessary to select the speed of the disc. It is determined by the index of rotations per minute (rpm) and the cache memory. A 1000rpm disc will be faster than 7200rpm (and also more noisy in operation). At the same rotation index a disc with 64MB cache memory will be faster than a disc with 32MB cache memory, etc.
The disc parameters can be improved by purchasing additional disc and the number depends on the 3.5" HDD niches of the housing and the capacity of the power supply unit (an average HDD consumes approximately 25W power supply.)
The type of the connection slot SATAII and SATAIII are not very important as these are mutually compatible standards and (in case of HDDs) are not very important for the high-speed of data transmission.
Populārākais disku veids patreiz ir DVD, tamdēļ vidusmēra lietotājam rekomendējam iegādāties DVDRW iekārtu.
BluRay diski nav pārāk izplatīti dēļ salīdzinoši augstās cenas. Tomēr, ja vēlaties, lai iekārta ļautu Jums noskatīties filmas BluRay formātā, iegādājieties BluRay combo, kas ļauj rakstīt/lasīt DVD un CD, bet tikai lasīt BluRay.
Savukārt, ja bieži arhīvējiet liela apjoma datus, un vēlaties to darīt kompaktā formā, tad iegādājieties BluRay Writer, kas pilda visas iepriekšminētās funkcijas un papildus spēj ierakstīt līdz pat 50 GB (DualLayer) BluRay diskus.
Populārākie standarti ir SDHC (SecureDigital High capacity) un microSD, kas pieejami standarta digitālajās kamerās Canon, Nikon, Kodak u.c. microSD un microSDHC karšu tips pieejams Nokia, Samsung u.c. mobilajos tālruņos
Sony iekārtām raksturīgas MemoryStick tipa kartes, Olympus kamerām - XD (Xtreme digital)kartes.
Digitālās profesionālās spoguļkameras lielākoties aprīkotas ar CF (CompactFlash) un MicroDrive kartēm.
Lai noskaidrotu kāds karšu tips ir Jūsu kamerai, izņemiet to no attiecīgās iekārtas un aplūkojiet. Visām kartēm uz korpusa ir norādīts tās tips ar attiecīgo saīsinājumu.

For an average home or small office user without any specific requirements we recommend to buy the Windows 7 English 64bit version.
You should choose the 32bit software only in the case when you plan to use the software that has known compatibility problems with the 64bit operating system or devices that do not have 64bit drivers. However, most of the 32bit software can operate within the 64bit operating system.
All the computers and components offered by Dateks provide full support of the 64bit operating system, therefore we recommend this choice because of the fact that the support of the RAM above 3 GB is possible only in 64bit mode and this type of operating systems is gradually becoming the leading standard and it is inevitable that it will fully replace the 32bit systems in future.
When you buy an operating system you should choose carefully the language of the user interface as it will not be possible to change this language later (except the Ultimate version which is multilingual). We offer English, Latvian and Russian interface languages of the operating system.
Entrepreneurs are entitled to use all the operating systems offered by
Windows Ultimate offers additional BitLocker data encoding application and a possibilities to switch over between the user's interface languages without changing the license.
For those preferring 3D games we recommend to pay attention to the panel response time. The lower this index the better. 2ms is considered the best index.
Those working with photo and graphics tasks as amateurs or professionals should pay attention to the matrix type. We recommend VA and IPS type matrix due to higher colour compliance indices.
We recommend to select a monitor with DVI or HDMI connection ports that use the digital transmission principle ensuring stable image quality.
When you buy a wireless keyboard you have to accept quite regular replacement of batteries. New batteries are included with all the wireless keyboards sold by
We offer also sets - a keyboard with a mouse. In most cases such a set is cheaper than a keyboard and a mouse bought separately, they are also compatible based upon esthetic and functional principles.
More expensive keyboards can offer also additional functions of which we think that the lighting of keys to make the work with a computer easier in dark is most useful.
Besides the keyboards of standard size and form also the keyboards of portable computer type are available - they have lower set keys and sometimes do not have the separate number pad. This type of keyboards are more esthetic and require less space, however, for some users they can make typing more difficult.
For users who have to type a lot we offer to buy a keyboard of a curved form that will feel better for palms ensuring the correct position of the palm. Also keyboards with mechanical keys are available and these provide a higher accuracy for fast typing users, however, this keyboard is much more expensive than standard models and it is also more noisy in operation.
Gaming mice have been constructed for enjoying games and ensure the optimum combination of the accuracy and convenience for long-term operation of the computer.
