Part two of our series on computer repair or replacement focuses on some important things to note when you’re looking at purchasing a new laptop or PC.
Computer Sales: What Price Range Are We Talking ?
When it’s time to buy a new computer, make sure that you avoid some pitfalls. First off, don’t always count on a brand name to be a perfect match for your needs. One thing that has started to happen to some computer companies is that they’ve merged and in a lot of cases, the quality on them has taken a header. A lot of times people operate under the illusion that if they pay more for a computer they’re getting a good computer. Some times, though, what they’re paying for is glitz.
Sometimes consumers see the plastic on the monitor and the keyboard and see all the numbers on the side of the box such as 1080p, 8gb memory, 1TB hard drive, etc. They get their computer home, but failed to notice one little word on the side of the box: refurbished or pre-owned. Or maybe it’s new, but there is no monitor included, or a keyboard, or a mouse for that matter. All of a sudden, the ‘great deal’ they got doesn’t look as great. This problem is more pronounced with a hardcore gamer.
Buy a Custom Computer System Instead
For a good price, you can buy a new computer that is custom made to your specifications. Gamers for example have a long list of ‘must-haves,’ for any computer they’ll be playing the last MMORPG on. A custom computer system can be made with more memory, more speed, whatever a customer would need. However, it isn’t just gamers that do well by going custom.
Sometimes, some businesses have special needs. Maybe they need a new server, and they are operating on a budget that will preclude a pre-made box, however, they need some the capabilities that a server out of the box will have. That’s where a custom computer shop comes in.
One thing is for sure, buying a “corporate” quality remanufactured computer/laptop, or a good custom computer from a reputable local shop is always a good bet. You will almost always get much higher quality, better performance, and someone you can build a relationship with to help with questions and problems.
