1. Do you want the Windows
7 Professional or Windows XP Professional?
2. Do you want a video card?
The video card has a heat sink twice the size of the heat sink that is
on the main motherboard of the computers that have "on board" video. Less
heat, less crashes, in theory much longer life.
We will never sell Windows HOME
Edition anything or Celeron processors because we like our customers and
don't want to expose them to that kind of abuse. So with that being said...
3. Almost always in this business
the following is true... When you are looking at NEW computer made of NEW
parts, the price difference between the slowest currently sold and 3rd
from the top in speed / performance is less than $50. 2nd from the top
is usually $100 more. So which do you prefer? At times, this spread in
price is even less. Intel to match the speed of AMD is $100 more when they
can keep up. Three times in our 20 years in the hardware business
Intel actually was the "best punch for the dollar" and only for a short
period of time.
4. It is doubtful you can fill an
80 GB hard drive unless you download DVD movies and store them on your
computer. We offer up to 2 TB. Our computers have expansion areas
so you can even have 2 - 500 GB hard drives if you wish. Example 48 GB
of MP3 files is roughly 24 hours a day for 30 days of music without playing
the same song twice.
What size hard drive?
5. New (not reconditioned) in 19"
LCD monitors are $5 more than 17". I think that is a "No brainer."
All 15" are refurbished or used.
19" LCD correct?
6. Do you want Microsoft Windows?
We always sell real Microsoft Windows with a Certificate of Authenticity
with a serial number that will reinstall and a real Microsoft Windows CD
ROM! Dell, Emachine, Gateway & HP/Compaq have never been able
to say that.
7. Do you want your computer ready
to plug in and run when you buy it? Our computers are up to date
with virus programs and Windows updates at time they were built. (No need
for hours upon hours to get your 'store bought' computer up to date. Which
usually is infected before first.)
8. Do you want to use your laptop
for 3+ years? NO laptop we have ever sold has had a problem with the power
cord area breaking and rendering the laptop unusable like HP's.
9. Do you want a place to
have your computer quality serviced? We service what we sell and
all others too. The worst turn around time ever here was about 2 weeks.
