How do I act like I know what I'm talking about/not be talked down to by the salesperson while shopping for a new computer?

Re: Ask/Advice Thread

Know what you're looking for and stick to it, makes it harder to sell you expensive crap you'll never use. What's the hard limit in your price range? Do you rely on easy portability (a laptop) or would you be happy doing most of your computing at home (a desktop)? If you spend almost all of your time browsing online (like my mom does), you don't need anything fancy or pricey. But if you want to do stuff like high-end gaming, or lots of video/photo editing, you'll need a lot of space, a strong processor, and discrete video card, and it'll cost more. That sort of thing. Also make sure to know the terms of the return policy of whatever you buy.

If you've done your research and know what you want, simply say so to the salesperson. But I should warn you that if the salesperson is a computer geek themselves, they're going to know you're not an expert, because an expert would be building their own computer from separate components, not seeking to buy one off the shelf.

Try to find an older salesperson? Never tried this with a computer, but it works great with appliances at Sears. (They take a parental approach and want to use their superior knowledge to help you succeed in life by buying the microwave that will make you happy, not to show off and make you feel bad.)
