Tips For Buying A New Computer

Hello, everyone! Since I am going to buy a new PC, (no mac) I've decided to make a short list of what to consider when you're out and about, searching for your soul computer. First, you've got to figure out what the computer will be used for mainly. For example, gaming, business etc. Gaming computers don't come cheap. A high-end gaming desktop can cost from a mere $4,000 to a high $8,000. Business computers are very cheap, you can get them as cheap as $300. They are mostly designed to use Microsoft Office, Taxes, Payroll, etc. The other two types of computers are, server and All-In-One. Server computers are used mostly to be made as a source of networking. So other people can connect to your server PC. They have large amounts of RAM and big hard drives. The average of a server PC I'v seen is 32GB RAM with 1TB Hard Drive. That was only a server PC of my friends. An industrial size server PC would be too large for a normal programmer or just someone who uses a computer everyday. The AIO (All-In-One) computers are terrible. I've experienced Dell and HP. The list of games it runs is too small. It handles Microsoft Office well, but eventually lags when using both at the same time. For instance, if you are playing an mp3 file while playing Halo, you will experience lag. Lenovo desktops however, the business desktops run new games well. They are also cheap too. So, now that you've decided what the main purpose of that computer will be, the next step is the price range. Look at your income, make sure to subtract taxes and what not from the total income. Don't buy a $12,000 computer if your salary is only $25,000 a year. Say my income is $55,000 and I want a high end gaming PC. Would it be worth it? Probably not, because I also need something that can handle Office applications excellent. I also don't play games as often on the computer. So, I would set my price range at, $750 to $1,500. Somewhere between that amount I should be able to get a decent working Lenovo desktop. The last step is to be reasonable. Make sure that the prices and the main purpose are reasonable. You can't buy a high end gaming PC for only $200. Though you can buy a terrible business computer for $200, that is, used of course. In conclusion, these are the things I look for, when I am going to buy a new computer. Thanks for reading, and don't buy the macs. Please.
