Your guide to buying computers

Welcome to our buying pc’s section

This section contains articles on buying computers and computer hardware.

Before you review our cheap computer guides I would like to discuss buying a pc’s a little further.

The first thing you need to ask yourself is what will I be using the computer for?

Once you have established the use for the computer, you then need to ask yourself how much am I willing to spend. Personally I would rather spend a little extra, and get a few years more use, rather than having to upgrade right away because some sales guy tried to palm me off with a 128 ram system for a bundled software deal.

I’m not mocking sales people here, they are human beings trying to do a job and some are very technical in their areas of expertise, however a vast majority don’t actually facilitate buying computers for the computer beginner, believe me, I know people who have actually ran tests on this!

The point here is if you can get a better computer for the sake of not having certain software a little longer than I would do so, this is a short term sacrifice for a better longer term benefit to you.
