In my part, I buy high-end gadgets for satisfaction and I know that everyone will also choose those gadgets with best features and durability that are costly. For expensive gadgets like laptop, tablet PC or smartphones, we buy protectors for screen and body to make sure its safe from scratches or accidental drop but many of us do not pay much attention for software internal security. Computer security is important for protecting our data and resources especially for confidential files.
