Buying a new computer can become a tedious task these days as many of us tend to get confused or just don’t know how to choose the best computer from the wide range available. Here are 6 tips for the best computer purchase:
1. The first and logical thing to do is determine exactly where you will be using your computer from. Do you plan to use it at home or travel frequently for business?
After answering this question, you will know if you want a desktop or a laptop.
2. The next thing to do is determine your budget. There is a wide range of desktop and laptop computers to choose from so they can cover any budget.
Desktops can cost anywhere from $ 500 to $ 2000 (note that many sites don’t include the monitor in the cost, so read carefully before clicking the pay button), while laptops between $ 800 and $ 2000 +. Decide how much money you are willing to spend and move on to the next step.
3. Now is the time to determine what you will be using the computer for. Are you buying it for your child to play video games, watch movies, or plan to use it for work or surfing the internet?
Of course, you can buy a computer and use it for all those things, but for example, if you plan to use it for business only, you don’t need to buy a computer with the best video card on the market.
4. Will you store photos, Microsoft Office documents, mp3 files, video files, etc.? You need to think about this to determine which hard drive your computer needs.
If you’re going to use it to store photos and Office files, then you need something in the 500 GB range, but no more. If you plan to store a lot of video and audio files, then a 2 TB hard drive would be more appropriate.
5. Another very important thing to consider, which many people overlook, is how often do you replace your computer?
This is very important because most new computers come with a special OEM license for Microsoft software. Since this license cannot be used on any other computer, if you change your computer frequently, it would be a waste of money to buy each end with the software and pay for it each time.
If you change your computer frequently, it would be wise to buy a retail copy of the Microsoft software and save money.
6. Buy a ready-to-use computer or create your new computer by selecting all the parts yourself? In my opinion, if you are a person who changes your computer frequently, buying a ready-made one is the perfect choice for you.
If you do not plan to change the computer, it would be advisable to create it yourself in a local store or even on some Internet sites.
This is because all large IT companies use proprietary components, and if you buy a ready-made one, it is often more difficult to upgrade later.
