what are the benefits in buying ready built PCs rather than own built?

Question

compare ready built pcs vs own built pcs

give me some scientifical reason

and which is the best printer

Answer 1

Advantages of buying OFF THE RACK
- lower cost
- good retailers accept RETURNS
- technical support
- manufacturer downloads
- Comes with RESTORE disk (or make your own)

Advantages of BUILD YOUR OWN
- you pick the parts
- can build AWESOME speed at a lower price
- You learn a great deal

Disadvantages of buying OFF THE RACK
- picked a bogus brand, now you are Stuck with it
- they may have unsed inferior hardware that does not last too long. GOSH, if they used a MAXTOR hard drive, it might be dead in 3 years.
- support might STINK
- arrived BORN DEAD, and you are stuck with many hours of tech support.

I recommend BUYING a computer from STAPLES. They have a perfect 14 day NO QUESTIONS return policy. The idea is to set it up and TEST EVERYTHING. If it still works... you are GOLDEN. I have bought BORN DEAD computers from DELL, and there were some hassles.

Disadvantages of BUILD YOUR OWN
- might cost more, since software is ALL extra
- you can get stuck with components that don't work, so you end up buying even more.
- You really have to get good at looking for alternative drivers and such.
- Unless you buy a good IMAGE BURNER, you won't have a Restore disk. Rebuilding a system without a restore disk can take many many hours.

Take a look at http://www.newegg.com for parts. Check out the user ratings, and buy the GOOD STUFF. Of course, you might find some parts cheaper elsewhere, but NewEgg is a great place to pick components.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Answer 2

Companies like Dell put a lot of thought into what combination of components they use. If one component is slower it can cause a bottleneck and limit the usefulness of your snazzy processor. And in some cases, there can be compatability issues, for example between certain kinds of budget RAM and the chipset used on the motherboard. This can occur even if in theory they are supposed to work with each other.

This means that a PC from a big brand may be a bit quicker and more reliable.

Building your own has a lot of scope for going wrong and being a pain. But pre-built ones can be annoying as well. I have always found putting together your own to be cheaper and quite good fun. However often the first time you slot the components together, it won't work, so you have to be prepared to play around with it for a while.

Answer 3

That depends on what kind of PC you want. If you want a low end one to low middle end one then I would say buy a ready built because you can't save money buy building your own low end PC.

You CAN save money by building your own if you want an upper middle end to high end machine. You still won't be able to beat package prices but you will be able to upgrade it and upgrade it and upgrade it. You will be able to keep a home built PC running longer with upgrades than you would be able to a ready made PC.

You will also typically be buying higher quality components when you build your own as well. If you aren't a gamer or PC enthusiast or have never touched the inside of a computer then I don't suggest you build your own right off. You can learn but if you aren't the quick learning type, it's not something I suggest you do.

Scientifical isn't a word.

Answer 4

Building a PC requires time and some expertise. You don't need the knowledge of the many details of how PCs work in order to buy one as you would if you were to build one. You don't have to do as much research. It's just simpler and easier to buy a ready built PC than building a system.

Answer 5

The ready built has been tested and designed for maximum capacities and a lot of people it's involved on it, that's why it's to expensive than build by your own one. But in hardware it will be the same, in the software the already build has some apps and other configurations.

Answer 6

Parts are usually more costly when buying them seperately. If you can find a ready made PC that has everything you want, you might come out better buying. If, however, you want some experience in working with PC hardware, building is a lot of fun.

Answer 7

ready built pcs

+ All part mixed good, they may works well.
- More expensive
You cant decide HD, RAM, Processor etc you want

own built pcs

+ Cheaper
You can decide parts on it.
- You have to plan each part of it, if ou wrong in mixing, then your PC wont work properly

Answer 8

already built, you take the whole machine back if it dosn't work properly - self built, you find the problem piece and then take the part back to discuss if your getting a new piece or buying a new piece - i just watched a guy spend over $2000 (aus) building his own machine, he went through three different motherboards to find one that work the way he wants, and did not get a refund on any of them. we have them laying around here...

Answer 9

i think you save money on software since the computer companies get deep discounts on buying massive amounts of software. You save money since they mass produce, but it might not be customized the way you like it. But building your own has its benefits too, like customization, learning, etc.

Answer 10

price will the lower
