6 Tips To Best Computer Buy
Buying a new computer can become a tedious task these days as many of us tend to get
confused or simply don't know how to choose the best computer from the wide range
available. Here are 6 tips to best computer buy:
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 do you travel with business often? After
you answer this question you know if you want a desktop computer or a notebook.
2. The next thing to do is determine your budget. There is a wide range of both desktop and
notebook computers to choose from so they can cover any budget. Desktop computers can
cost anywhere between $500 and $2000 (Note that many sites don't list the monitor in the
cost, so read carefully before clicking the checkout button), while notebooks between $800 -
$2000+. Decide on how much money are you willing to spend and continue to the next step.
3. Now it's time to determine what will you be using the computer for. Are you buying it for
your kid to play video games, watch movies or do you plan to use it for work or internet
surfing? Of course you can buy a computer and use it for all of those things but for example
if you plan to use it just for business then you needn't buy a computer with the best video
card on the market.
4. Are you going to store photos, Microsoft Office documents, mp3 files, video files etc.?
You need to think about this to determine what hard drive your computer needs. If you'll be
using it to store photos and Office files then you need something in the range of 60GB but
no more. If you plan to store many video and audio files then a 220GB 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. As this license cannot be used on any other
computers, if you change your computer often then it would be a waste of money to buy
each end every one of them with the software and pay for it every time. If you change your
computer often it would be wise to purchase a retail copy of the Microsoft software and save
money.
6. Buy a ready made computer or create your new computer by selecting all the parts
yourself? In my opinion, if you're a person who changes their computer often then buying a
ready made one is the perfect choice for you. If you don't plan on changing the computer
then it would be wise to create it yourself at a local store or even on some sites on the
internet. This is because all the big computer companies use proprietary components and if
you buy a ready made one it is usually harder to upgrade later.

a few thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop
