Tips on How to Choose the Right Desktop for yourself

This section aims at helping you choose the right desktop computer.

So, what’s the difference between a budget desktop and the most expensive ones (eg. gamer desktop)? First of all, if you think that the most expensive desktop is as powerful as they come and that it will play all your games fantastically well, you are sorely mistaken. No, the truth is the models for sale in big shops are expensive because of their brands.

Decide what you need the computer for. When someone tells you they’re not interested in playing games on it, there soon follows a disappointed child or young adult moaning that the computer is so slow. Realistically you should aim for something mid-range, and not go for the absolute minimum you need. You only need a powerful computer if you intend to use software or gaming that requires all that powerful features. If you just want to surf the Internet, listen to music, create documents and edit photos, then you really only need to aim just above the cheapest computers.

Now for the revelation. If you buy the cheapest budget new computer today, it will probably run current version of desktop Operating System (OS) such as Windows very fast and you’ll be delighted with it. However, this will become an issue if an upgrade to the OS takes place in the future. The processing may slow down.

Everything depends on your budget but as I said, the computers just above the cheapest range will probably do a good job for you. So how to choose from the dozen or so at about the same price?

Here’s a tip. When you’re in the shop and have decided on the price range, make sure to look at them closely, try them and decide on your favourite. Yes, go for looks. It is going to be in your way every day and you can hardly hide it, so choose one that will make you happy to have it in your home.

Having been in computing for more than 30 years now, I believe we have already reached the stage where a budget computer can do almost everything you could reasonably want. So go for it!
