How to Test a Desktop in the Store

http://zapp1.staticworld.net/images/article/2012/03/desktop_opener-11336891.jpg

 

You need a new desktop. In the store, you see three different models that might work, but you don’t know how to decide on the best one for you (not the best one for the salesperson). These sets of quick and simple in-store performance tests will separate the winners from the posers, and lead you to a decision you can feel good about.

Note that these tests provide only part of the information that will go into your buying decision. They’re best used to choose from several devices that you’ve already determined have the features you seek.

 

Also remember that how many tests you’ll be able to do will vary from store to store. Depending on the outlet, you’ll find display PCs that are fully functioning and ready to use (and test), or you’ll find a room full of machines that are largely disabled or not turned on at all. Our advice is to shop in stores that allow for a hands-on buying decision.

    The key to any purchase is to make a list of features that you consider essential in your new device.

    Then you can compare the specifications of each product against your requirements and cost target. 

    When you find similar models that meets your requirements, then you can make the selection of final cost. 

    Sometimes it makes good sense to buy up for certain key features rather than go for a low cost model that just meets your requirements.

     

    Just my opinion.
