What else do I need when buying a new computer?
We saw a lot of people in the last few weeks looking at replacing their current computers. What a lot of them didn’t factor into their budget was all the extras that may be required when upgrading their systems.
What you generally need to buy when looking at replacing your old computer:
Desktop Computer
Monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers/WiFi dongle/software/ PC setup & data transfer
Notebook
Bag/mouse/USB hub/software/Setup and data transfer
Tablet
Cover or Bag/optional keyboard/USB hub/cable convertor/software/email set up
When looking at replacing your old computer with new, here are a few tips of what not to forget about asking for:
-
What operating system – Windows 10 is most commonly used now
-
Compatibility – will your current accessories or software run on the new system
-
What comes with it – does any software/programmes/accessories come with the new computer
-
Will your data allowance allow you to download updates once you get home without going over the limit?
So if you are in the market to replace your old computer, remember to factor in ALL the other extras that you may need to purchase as well.
If you are unsure as to whether it is time to replace your current computer then ask your local computer store to book it in for a PC check today. They can then advise on the health of your system and make recommendations going forward.
