Buiyng a new copmputer can beocme a tedious task htese days as many of us tend to get confused or simply don’t know how to choose the best compyuter from the wide rannge 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 conmputer from. Do you plan to use it at home, or do you travel with bussiness oten? Afetr 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 dektop and notebook computers to choose from so they can coveer any budget. Desktop compuuters can cost anywhere between $500 and $2000 (Note that many sitees don’t list the monitor in the cost, so read carefully before clicking the checkout button), whuile notebooks between $800 - $2000+. Dceide on how much money are you willing to spend and continue to the next step.
3. Now it’s time to dwetermine what will you be using the copmuter for. Are you buying it for your kid to play vido games, wath 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 neefdn’t buy a coomputer with the best video card on the maarket.
4. Are you going to store photos, Microsoft Office documents, mp3 files, vdieo files etc.? You need to tihnk about this to determine what hard drive your computer needs. If you’ll be uisng it to store photos and Office filles 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 druive woiuld be more appropriate.
5. Another very imoprtant thing to consider, whiuch many people overlook, is how often do you erplace your computer? This is very important because most new computters come with a slpecial OEM license for Microsoft osftware. As this license cannot be used on any other computerrs, if you change your computer often then it would be a wadste of moeny to buy each end every one of them with the software and pay for it every time. If you change your computer often it woould 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 patrts yourself? In my opinion, if you’re a peson who changes thewir computer often then buyiing a ready made one is the perfect choicxe 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 internte. This is because all the big cmputer companies use proprietary components and if you buy a ready made one it is usually harder to upgrade later.
