Features VS Attributes

[chief]

Hi, I see that this has been answered a lot.

But, I sell computer hardware etc.

So, I see them as having both features and attributes.

Question. I have been using attributes, and when i add them for "Video Cards"  and other items, it sets the stock to Zero/0. So, should i be using features instead for all my computer related Items i sell????

and could you clarify which i should be using please as all my products are manufactured and are individual with differing specs

many thanks

Features are different thing. Features can't be used w.r.t quantity.

So as per our understanding, you have 2 options if yon want to manage the quantity as well. 

1. Using the attribute 
2. Group product i.e. Add Video card as a separate product & then create the Group Product (Pack Product)

so i sell to end users, they usually purchase 1 item or but items to create a Computer, so i generally wont be selling 10x graphics cards. nice if i do, but usually x1.

what does this mean above.

I want to make my users get a better shopping experience, they choose graphics cards, then filter down to get to the product they require either by price or by specification.

i dont want to manage quantity, i have a management app i use to import all my suppliers feeds, then i export to prestashop.csv format and then i import that to add new products and to update older items, stock level etc.

so, saying that should i just use features then?????
