So, you’ve decided it is time to purchase fujitsu lifebook p1620 keyboard, fujitsu cp228900-01 keyboard a brand new Computer. I am assuming here you have decided against purchasing a brand new laptop or netbook but it’s definitely a PC you’re going for. Your first question must be ‘What am I running this PC for?’
At the present, when you’re a desk top publisher or a high end gamer, you probably know what you need. This article is not for you. On the other hand, if you’re Joe Average, then you might find this short article useful. The overwhelming majority of people use a Computer to surf the web to check and send e-mail, and also to open the occasional word document. Even the cheapest Computer will perform these tasks commendably. In that case, you really do not want to be spending more that £400 on a new PC system.
Therefore, begin with the budget systems and in case you have extra requirements you can add extra or upgraded components. Dell makes this easy. Too easy. You will probably never get through the shopping program without upgrading someplace - even if it’s just the colour of your case. You will be presented with an enormous array of upgrades from extra memory and larger hard drives to blue-ray DVD drives and Graphics Processing Units.
But be closely controlled. Ask yourself gateway s-7000 keyboard, gateway p-6000 keyboard- do I actually need this? As an example - storage. I have never used much more 200GB of storage on a hard drive. Unless you intend storing films on it you will not need it either. So if the budget system comes with 500GB, you are not likely to require an upgrade to the 1TB one. You’ll never need it. And if by some remote chance you do, you can upgrade on a later date. Most Desktop Computers have a second bay for an extra hard drive. You won’t even have to renew your old one. Similarly, if your computer monitor, keyboard and mouse are on the desk and the case is under it next to your feet, what would you need an orange case at an extra £30 for?
Moniters:
Purchase the best you can actually afford, I suppose. But I’ve got to inform you. Unless, they are sat in the shop next to each other - I can not tell the difference in picture quality. They are all fairly good nowadays.
DVD Drives:
If you’ve got a big collection of Blue-Ray DVD disks, by all means purchase a PC with a Blue-Ray player. Evidently, you’ve got plenty of money anyway! Otherwise, you won’t need one would you? All budget Computers dell latitude e4300 keyboard, dell inpsionr mini 10 keyboard will have a DVD player. Limit yourself to that one.
Keyboard and mouse:
Don’t be fooled into buying those wireless ones. I’ve yet to meet someone who sat on the chaise longue while typing using a wireless keyboard. Using a laptop, yes. But surfing the net six feet away from your monitor? Not a probable scenario.
Anti-virus software:
NO. NO. NO. NO. My personal pet hate. You should not buy it. MacAfee, Norton, Panda. Whatever. All rubbish. I know this, as I have said many times before I worked for an Anti-Virus company. You will require AV software but download Avast or AVG from the internet for free. AVG is faster and better.
Ram or computer memory:
Yes, when you’re going to upgrade, buy RAM. As much as your budget and Computer will allow. Much cheaper and more effective than purchasing a top end, fancy processor.
Software:
You aren’t likely to require more that Windows 7 home premium, so do not upgrade there. Maybe you’ll want to buy Windows Office. But personally, I would certainly download OpenOffice. It’s free. It’s very easy to use and it is possible to configure it to open and save in Microsoft Office format anyway.
Finally:
The ultimate reason not to get too carried away with a budget Computer acquisition is because in two years your PC will almost certainly be obsolete. And like laptops, two years is about the time to replace a Computer generally, compaq presario cq60 keyboard, compaq presario cq61 keyboard so there’s not much point wasting your money on one. At £400 that works out at £16 per month or around 50 pence per day. Start saving for the next one now!
