Helpful Information About Buying A New Computer

Filed under: Gadget Stuff — gadgetblogger @ 3:26 pm

Buying a new computer is an important decision for a lot of reasons. The number one reason is of course cost. Well, it depends on what you are going to be doing with it of course, but it still will cost you regardless of what you are going to be using it for. If you are going to be gaming on this machine and want to play the most intense graphical game at the highest settings, then you are going to pay at the very least $1,500.00 for this machine. If you are going to be using it to surf the web and maybe watch a few DVD’s (notice I said DVD’s not Blueray) then a sub $400.00 system will probably suffice. Now if you want to do any kind of high definition video playback or video converting, then you will probably want a sub $1,000.00 dollar machine.

Now your choice of brand is really up to preference. Most of your computers are going to have Intel or AMD processors in them and Seagate or Westerd Digital hard drives. I know you have other things like memory and video cards and things like that, but these two hard-ware devices are your most important. Being said that, your computer whatever you buy, will have Either one of these hardware manufacturer’s products in them. So really it does not matter what brand you buy considering that under the hood they are pretty much the same anyways. If you are a person that prefers a Dell then by all means buy you a Dell. If you prefer HP then by all means buy you an HP. It doesn’t really matter. Just make sure you get the most bang for the buck. I wouldn’t buy a machine now a days with less than a 200 gig hard drive and 2 gigs of memory.

Now for some people this is not enough, but notice I said I wouldn’t buy one with less than this. I myself would prefer to go ahead and get a 500 gig drive with 4 gigs of memory and the latest video card I could find in a bundle. Video memory should not be less than 256 and 512 and up would be preferable. Now the more you get in a machine of course the higher the price. Now one way to cut off some of that price and get more bang for you buck would be to just buy the computer itself and no monitor. Now of course this is if you already have a pretty decent monitor that you don’t mind holding on to.

This can save you about $150.00 dollars off of the price of the computer or you could treat it like a rebate kind of. What I mean by this is you can buy that $500.00 dollar computer that would cost you $750.00 dollars by not getting the monitor. Or you could find a $400.00 dollar computer that you want and not get the monitor and it would be like buying a more expensive computer. Either way you come out on top as far as price and what you get in a computer if you don’t get the monitor.

Now you will have to find computers that don’t packaged with a monitor, but you can find these at all retail electronics stores like Wal-Mart and Best Buy. Mostly half of the computers these retailers sale are just the computers themselves and no monitors. Well that is it for this post. I hope this helps someone with there computer purchasing needs. Sorry for any misspelled words or grammatical errors. I am not an English teacher or writer. I am just a technician. Thanks for reading.
