There
has always been an ongoing debate between those who build
their own PCs and those who buy them
pre-built. Actually, there’s really nothing wrong with either option even if
the outcomes are different for both. In reality, both methods can and do
deliver a satisfactory product, depending on the needs of the user. Still, we
need to offer some insight into both sides of the argument if you’re still
undecided.
Pre-Built PCs are easy to find and actually affordable
Most
major laptop manufacturers such as ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., usually focus
on pre-built desktop PCs for those who don’t have time to shop around for parts
or those who don’t have any high standards of hitting, such as specs for gaming.
Many people just need a budget desktop PC that can browse the Internet, handle
word processing, need it for work, or just to have a PC handy at home.
Instead
of waiting for sales on parts or for everything to finally arrive from
different vendors, you can grab a pre-built budget PC from a store and have it promptly
working for you. These budget PCs usually come in a few configurations and
price points, that is if you are targeting anything in terms of specs or budget.
Pre-Built PCs come with a warranty and technical support
Brand
new pre-built desktop PCs will come with a warranty, which means in the case of
a faulty piece of hardware inside; you can ship the entire thing away and not
have to worry about diagnosing the problem yourself. This provides a bit of
peace-of-mind for those who have no knowledge how to tinker with their PC. There
are thousands of legitimate online resources when it comes to getting help with
your PC, but dedicated technical support from a manufacturer can be the
difference between a false diagnosis and getting back to work.
But Custom-Built PCs can still have warranty and technical
support
Building
your own PC from components you have personally decided on does have
benefits in regards to performance desires and aesthetic needs. This is
especially true for those with high spec standards to reach such as for gaming
PCs or for those who are into huge video and image editing. Remember that along
with each component decision manufacturers provide their own set of warranties
and exclusions. So, for instance, your motherboard breaks down, all you need is
to bring that component back to where it was purchased as it is covered by
warranty.
Professional
tech support is usually not a problem since technical support companies with
good reputation and reliability exist, with affordable monthly or even yearly
subscriptions.
