I was planning to buy a desktop PC at my home for my personal use and was confused whether to go for a Branded PC or an assembled one. I stay in Palghat which is situatted in Kerala and very near to Coimbatore.
Since my brother works in Coimbatore I went there on March 18th 2009 and we decided to check the shops and compare prices and go for the best offer. I had already enquired in Palghat for Zenith PCs. We landed to Fine Computers a shop situated on the Trichy road. He showed me various offers which included branded as well as assembled one. During the discussion he mentioned to me PCs from eSys computers. Since I was not aware about the company I collected more details and told them to arrange for a demo. I was really surprised to see the quality of the end product.
The dealer offered me Intel celerom 1.8 Mhz, 1GB RAM, 160 GB HDD, combo drive, 15.6" TFT and with all other features, along with Lexmark printer and Creative 2.1 soundblasters for 18K. The PC carried 3-yr manufacturer warranty. I told the vendor that I shall come back after taking a firm decision. I went back and called my friends in Delhi and told them to check the prices for the same model there as the eSys factory is in Gurgaon. They told me that the price is very competitive and I can go for it. So I decided and purchased and I must say that I am very happy person because barring scanner all my requirements were met and the performance is really satisfying.
I think we must promote our Indian brands and be proud of the same. The only problem that I found was with regards to the service centres. I had a minor issue and since there were no service centre @ Palghat I had to take my system to Coimbatore centre. But the support was really cool and I was satisfied.
So guys go and grab one PC for your family too if you are in look for decent system which is value for money.
