new computer

by eswar reddy » Mon Sep 13, 2004 6:41 pm

hi dear,

i want to buy a personal computer for home use.

i hardly have any idea regarding the hard disc drive, giga bite, ram, cache etc.

some of the pamplets tell these.

my main aim for buying the pc is for internet use only.it should work with decent speed.

i want to buy a branded pc only.

because i have no knowledge to buy a good assembled pc.

kindly recommend me the cheap and best model possible.

i am living in secunderabad.

Zenith or LG for a start....whatever the brand, look out for good discounts n finance schemes. almost all brands have good after sales service.

Everything they said.



Here is a short list of branded pcs in descending order of brand value and price. There is no other difference except that the bigger companues will generally give better after-sales service and give more free software with their computers.



IBM (Most expensive)

Compaq

HP

Zenith (Best deal)

Unbranded



I would also recommend that u buy an unbranded compuiter. You will get the most powerful computer at half the price pf the branded ones. Just go to the Chinoy Arcade in Sec (near Paradise) and find a computer shop which you like (from amoing the dozens there). Tell them what you want, and they will select one that is best for you.



Just do not act like a complete newbie in front of them. They also have nice EMI schemes.

better yet, take someone along who's familiar with the requirements. Chenoy Trade Centre is the perfect place for it. u can check out all the stores there n take estimates from each of them. pick the one where ur getting the best deal. but, if branded is ur choise then Sharjeel's mentioned wht u need to knw.

Off topic.....I was rather surprised to see a Cool Hydi whose name I dont know. So checked out the profile and guess what I saw.



I saw someone who has been masquerading as Kabhi Male Kabhi Female....Peeping Tom.

damn, HP, you beat me to it!!

s/he should learn how to use the hidden ID thing.



anyway sri308, about the computer, my advice to you is, catch one of your friends who knows something about computers and organize an assembled PC; it's worth the effort.
