Useful language for a customer

• Explaining what you are looking for

We're looking for a personal computer. Have you got any fairly basic ones? I’m buying a computer for running computer games.

• Asking for technical specs

What's the storage capacity of the hard drive? Do they have a DVD drive? What is the Operating System? Does the laptop have a Wireless Adapter? What type of Graphics Card is included? And which one has more memory? I mean, which has more RAM?

• Asking about the price, discounts, warranty, delivery.

How much do they cost? How much is it? How long is the warranty valid? Are there any discounts for the model?
