Cheap Computers – The Ultimate Guide To Cheap Computers

Cheap computers – The ultimate guide to cheap computers

by Philippa Wilson


Computers? Are they worth the investment? And just how cheap is cheap?

Cheap computers are hard to come by which is why we have come up with this guide to show you just what to look when buying cheap computers.

• A high speed processor. Preferably dual core, the high speed processor will improve the overall PC performance.

• RAM. Any quality cheap computer is likely to have at least 2meg of RAM (Random access memory). The size of the RAM will improve the speed of the computer and make it easier to work on.
• Large Hard drive. A hard drive should be at least 150 GB will enable you to store more data including music, photos and general files.

• Graphics card. A high quality graphics card will allow you to view games and videos in better quality.

• USB ports. A computer will have a USB however it is ideal to have at least 4 USB ports.
• A large monitor. Monitors are a large part of a home PC. They need to be large enough for you to see what you are working on but should also be able to adjust and change the settings such as brightness, colour and picture size.

• Price. Of course the price of a cheap computer is probably the most important thing. Depending on what your budget is, you will still want a good deal. The best way to find a decent cheap computer is to compare prices and look for refurbished deals.

All of the above are key things to look for in a computer. These components are available to buy separately but it is usually cheaper to buy them as a package. If you are looking for a cheap computer then why not try www.europc.co.uk and view their range of cheap computers. They have a huge collection starting from just £149ex VAT. They sell not only PC’s but laptops, components and monitors too. Remember before you buy your home PC or laptop you should do some research as to which computer you will need. Some people will need a high speed computer for work while others will need a large hard drive for their huge amounts of photos or files they may have. Whatever your need for a computer, good luck in finding the right (and cheapest) one.

Refurbished Laptop –Advantages Of Buying A Refurbished Laptop

Refurbished Laptop –Advantages of buying a refurbished laptop

by Philippa Wilson


Looking for a laptop but can’t afford brand new? Why not take a look at refurbished. They are surprisingly good value and are NOT second hand!

The term “refurbished” can mean a lot of things. It can mean that the computer was of excess stock, it can mean that it is a cancelled order or it can simply mean that the factory has completely refurbished it. Refurbished does not mean second hand with a new hard drive. A lot more goes into a refurbishment than just a quick clean up. The systems are checked and everything is tested to make sure that it is fully functioning. Most of these computers are up for refurbishment simply because they are old stock and the company will have bought out new models.

Other than the cost being a big advantage of a refurbished laptop you are also getting a lot for your money. By buying a brand name at a cheaper price it will mean that you are buying quality components. You are also buying the technology. The newer the laptop, the better the technology. With most refurbished laptops being less than 6 months old, you can buy up to the minute technology for very little. Buying a refurbished laptop will also mean that you are guaranteed to have a fully working computer. There is nothing worse than getting your new laptop home, switching it on and finding that there is a problem or it just won’t work. With a refurbished laptop you will know that everything is working because it will have already been checked for you at the factory! This can be a weight off your mind and save money on postage costs too as you won’t have to pay to send it back! The last reason to buy a refurbished laptop is the service that you receive. It is almost like a personal shopping experience knowing that your laptop will be checked, analysed and lovingly packaged ready to go to its new home. Where else would you get service like that?

Buying a refurbished laptop is a great way to ensure that you buy a quality laptop without paying the huge price tag. All refurbished laptops are brand names and this is a great way to buy all that brand technology for half the price. Stores such as www.europc.co.uk sell refurbished laptops from as little as £170ex VAT. They sell all the big names such as Hewlett Packard, Toshiba, Dell Compaq and Acer. All of these brands come as refurbished laptops and at brilliant prices too.

So if you are looking for a refurbished laptop then look no further than www.europc.co.uk.
