Are you planning to buy a new desktop computer?
Are you confused by so many choices available in the market?
Here, we will help you to buy desktop computers by providing few simple "tips to remember". This valuable information will not only help you in making a smart choice but you can also save your money and avoid unnecessary hassles of shopping.
Warranty and technical support: Most Personal Computer (PC) shoppers give little attention to the warranty and technical support of the computer parts. However, this should be the first thing to look for.
Remember computers are like all machines and machines are liable to break down. So, if you get 2 to 3 years warranty on these products, it means you can use your computer for at least 2-3 years in a tension-free manner. If a problem occurs within this service warranty period, the computer company or the manufacturer will take care of it and you won't be charged anything. You will be assisted by skilled technical team in case of any issues
So, check if a service center of the product that you are buying is available in your city. What's the response time of the technical support team? You can't afford to keep your computer shut down for so many days.
Software needs: It's not sensible to add so many software and applications to make your PC a versatile system. Install an operating system, you are familiar with and can operate without any problem. Then get an office suite for your work. Don't forget to get an anti-virus package. If you want to use internet on your computer, then think of additional applications that you may need for your work. For instance, if you are a graphic designer, you may need designing software such as Adobe in-design, Corel Draw etc. If you are an architect, you may need Auto CAD and 3D Max. Don't just stuff your computer with unnecessary applications. This may slow down your computer's processing speed.
Connectivity options: These days, there are a number of types of devices that you would like to connect with your PC. Many PCs come with USB ports which give you the flexibility of plug and play with the devices. You will need several USB ports to connect several devices at a time. Besides USB ports, you may also need audio and video connectors. So, check the connectivity options before hand so that you will be able to connect multiple devices with your PC.
LCD monitors: If you want a sleek LCD monitor for your desktop computer, a variety of models and brands are available in the market. Most companies offer a range of discounts to lure their customers. Check the websites of the prominent brands such as Samsung and LG to avail the benefits of the ongoing schemes. Make sure the LCD works well with your computer and offers you a plug and play interface. Several companies also offer money-back guarantee that can make your deal even more attractive.
Upgrading options: Don't forget that the computer industry is a fast changing world and you will always want to take benefits of the latest technology. While you can't purchase a new computer part every now and then, you can choose the components that can give options to upgrade. Even your computer's motherboard should have extra slots to accommodate new devices whenever you wish to. By upgrading your computer parts regularly, you can keep pace with the fast changing computer technology.
