Belive me, I know what I'm talking about. You can't imagine how stupid I felt when I got an Amiga for Christmas, while all my friend had an Atari.
For me though, the decision was solely based on what I could do with it, as a programmer. So I only looked at specifications. Did that, all the way back to my first computer. Oh, and the biggest decision maker of all (although not one I had wanted): The price! Which always forced me to not get what I really wanted, from a tech specification point of view.
