Have a Computer Custom Built
Should you buy a manufactured computer such as a Dell, HP, Gateway or have a Custom PC built for you? There are pros and cons to both so we've compiled a list of Pros and Cons for each and listed them here for you to decide.
Manufactured PC
Pros
- Walk in to any store and buy it today and set
it up today.
- Plenty of brands and hardware configurations to
choose from.
- Loaded with software to help you get the most
out of your PC.
- Often comes in a bundle with a monitor.
- Often have rebates that allow you to save additional money.
Cons
- The cheapest hardware avaliable is used to build the PC.
- Support from your PC is often outsourced to
another country.
- The market is full of different PCs which makes
choosing the right PC very difficult.
- Most of the software that comes preinstalled is
useless or is simply a trial which requires you to purchase additional
licenses like an antivirus solution.
- Computer packages often don't allow you to
select the monitor, keyboard, and other items you would like but rather
give you the lowest quality items.
- After your warranty period, when the computer
breaks these manufacturers set the price of replacement parts at two to five times the normal cost of hardware causing you to spend more money in repairs than necessary. These parts are only avaliable through the manufacturer.
