Most people don't enjoy hearing all of the factors involved in things they don't particularly care about. If they want to buy a computer, they'd much rather hear a recommendation (eg: Apple) or a very simple metric (eg: get >= 4GB of RAM) than how RAM, CPU, etc affect overall performance.
Hence, nowadays I give simple recommendations which work well on average. It's just easier - they don't get frustrated at me for lengthy explanations, and I don't get frustrated at them for not caring. But I'll definitely elaborate if they seem interested.
