August 18, 2011 Kristel Leave a Comment

Searching for the perfect desktop computer is no easy task, especially that everyone is spoiled for choice nowadays. However, since the technology has stabilized a bit due to advances both in software and hardware, you won’t get as much of the uphill climb of upgrades like during the early 2000’s, so you’ll know that whatever good stuff you will spend your money this time will surely do well for a good span of time. However, it is still important to get some tips for buying desktop PC computers in the Philippines for getting more guidelines.

Things you need to consider
There are things that should be considered nowadays when choosing and buying your very own desktop computer, such as LCD flat panel monitors, disk writers, large drive capacity, multicore processors, and even the popularity of various brands. When you have these things taken into consideration, all you need to worry about is the tier of the parts you will be procuring for your dream techy machine. Consider your needs and wants with the computer and finetune your specifications for that balance in value and quality.

Take note that there are things that are easily upgradable with desktop computers, like Random Access Memory (RAM) and hard drive capacity or storage. Eventually, you can just add in more once you earn extra money, so you don’t have to go crazy at the very start. Take what you need, then upgrade as necessary later on.

Research for the specs
A very good tip to ride on is to go with the specifications from the desktops of your local computer rental shop. If you really want to know, you can either ask the attendants for the specs or just look it up through the computer’s system properties if the shop does give access. There shouldn’t be much of a problem in listing down what they do have since there’s no real need to keep it a secret anyway. What those specifications do to help you is to guide you get more affordable parts. Internet cafes typically use computer parts that are very cost-effective in order to make the most of them for their business, so you know that they are good enough parts to hold their own in whatever you want to use them for.

Shopping your desktop computer
Once you have the specifications, it’s time to browse the web for various sources first. You can find websites of different popular shops in the Philippines, most of which sell quality brands at competitive prices. Once you’re done listing down the best prices, start visiting those shops and every other shop that has similar parts. The great thing about desktop computers is that you can get the parts separately and assemble them as you wish. Take advantage of this and get the best valued parts wherever you can get them.

Shop at places like Greenhills and Gilmore in Metro Manila, which are reputed for their computer stores with extensive inventories full of nothing but the best in the Philippines. There are other such places all over the Philippines, and that will take some searching. It is all worth the effort though, so no worries. You can always ensure that the equipment you are buying has enough periods for warranties and it offers a reasonable span of time for free services when it comes to repairs and maintenance. Hence, don’t hesitate to ask the desktop computer supplier or authorized dealer that you choose. Finally, do not support software piracy!
