Best Computer Buy

Best Computer Buy?

Very often I'm asked "which is the best computer I could buy?" I never have a problem answering that question, because my answer is always the same: "It Depends..."
And then it's my turn asking the questions: Are you looking to buy a computer? Why are you looking for another computer, did it break or do you just want a computer with more speed or memory than your old computer? If your computer is not working properly, it could have been caused by the many viruses that can sometimes get picked up. Of course, if you need more memory or a faster CPU, then I can help you.

If your computer is just running slower than before, it most probably is a virus and that can easily be fixed. There are websites that can find the virus and tell you exactly how to get rid of it, for free.
There are also free programs that you can download and run on your computer. Those programs will detect and remove the viruses too. (See my recommandations at the end of this post)

The best computer buy is the computer that will do the most of what you want for the lowest price.
Usually I bring it down to this: Don't get the newest, the fastest, the biggest computer there is. It will be too expensive. Get one just below that, the one that is a little bit older, the one that used to be the newest, the fastest, the biggest computer a little before the new one. In a few years, you'll end up looking a "new best computer buy" anyway, and then you'll be able to get a faster computer than the current one on the market. The second choice will also be much cheaper already, so I would definitely designate that one as the best computer buy.

What kind of computer should you get?
If you are a professional user, than you already know what you need. It could be that you need faster graphics, more memory or really a higher clockspeed for your applications.
You can also envisage to just upgrade a part of your computer in case you need certain features.

For an average user, as me, you can get the regular PC at the subtop. At this moment you could go for a 3GHz processor, with aabout 200 GB of hard drive and 512 MB of DDR. A 17 inch flat screen monitor would do nicely. You should be able to get all that for under $600.00.
It might not be the best computer at this very moment, although it surely was at one time, but at this moment it could definately be "the best computer buy".

Before I forget:
Companies like Paretologic.com offer software like "XoftSpySE Anti-Spyware" that will scan your computer and remove the spyware/adware.
