I have a total 4 PC’s in which 3 are assembled and 1 is branded. So, now I have enough experience in giving you detailed explanation about the difference between the branded and assembled PC’s.
I am using the assembled PC’s for my data conversion job work, which is best suited for that work. By this you can understand the rate of work that the assembled PC’s tolerate. The branded one is the Zenith PC that I use only as a server and distribute the work to the different users on my LAN.
Now lets start, there are different companies offering branded computers at a reasonable price. Now a days the PIII costs equals to PIV or there is even a difference of Rs.1000-3000 between them. The branded PC’s come with a set of pack giving you all the materials as you describe. For example, if you want a office Pc then you will get all the materials needed for a suitable office Pc. If you ask for a multimedia Pc for home use and playing multimedia devices like games, MP3, DVD’s etc. you have to go for a multimedia PC. This contains all the basic requirements of the hardware to support the software. The MNC(Multi-National Companies) are now-a-days so backward in their hardware business that they offer PCs at an hidden interest rates which is too low and can be managed by any person seeking a PC.
You get all the hardware configuration that is needed for the PC. You don’t have to run around for hardwares starting from Hard Disk to the Floppy drive. All the hardwares are best fitted according to the Pc configuration. All you is to need is to check out the price difference between the different dealers and what the things they are offering for free with the PC. Get all the clear statements like, What is the price of the PC if I take the PC without the offer?, what is the difference between the prices with the offer and without the offer?, Is the warranty of the PC on-site and for how much years?
In case of the assembled Pc you can decide all the configurations according to the heaviness of your pocket. If you need a best multimedia Pc go on searching from dealers to dealers for the price difference and the services. According to me, the assembled PC’s have gained more ratings in terms of service than branded PC’s.
Always go for the hardwares that you get locally and the service center of the hardware is in your city. Samsung has gained the best service in every states. Go for Samsung’s Hard disk, CD-ROM Drive, FDD, Monitor and other multimedia devices. This will help you a lot when getting services. Go for PIV machines as there is less traffic of the devices in the machine and a faster speed.
Its now your time for your decision. Go for the best things round you city. Search information about different machines and explore them deeply. You will find a greater difference even in every wire of different machines.
