    4 Things to know before buying a new computer

    In need of a PC upgrade? Whether your current model is struggling to function, or you’re just ready to try out something new, make sure to read these tips before you start shopping.

    Things to know before buying a new computer

    How much you’re willing to spend?

    Like most of life’s big purchases, determining your budget should be the first step in your shopping process. If your budget is on the low-end of the product market, there’s really no use in looking at the most expensive computers out there.

    Use your budget to help guide your decision. That said, don’t limit yourself to a price range that’s too specific. At the end of the day, you want a new PC that has all the features you need and which is durable enough to make it a good investment in the long term. If you’re on a tight budget, but need a new computer fast, you can buy a used computer online. Just make sure the vendor is a reputable one that sells reliable models. Before shopping for a used computer online, do your due diligence by reading reviews about both the product and the third-party seller.

    And if you’d rather opt for a new PC, don’t count out your opportunity for savings just yet! Many computer retailers offer specials on products and even promo codes to help you save. Install a promo code savings extension so discounts can automatically be applied to any purchase you make online. Additionally, if the manufacturer has an email list, sign up and savings could be in your future!

    1. What kind of storage space you need?

    If you’ve had the same PC for a long time, chances are, there’s a lot of stuff on there. Files, family photos, useful applications, etc. Besides learning how to transfer files from PC to PC, you’ll also need to ensure that your new PC has the capacity to hold your existing files. In addition to your current files, make some room in your storage space budget for new files you’ll add as you use your new computer.

    How do I check my PC storage?

    Before you start shopping for a new computer, take a look at your current computer’s local storage to give you an idea of what to look for in your next model.

    Follow these steps to check your PC storage space:

    1. Open the Start menu
    2. Open Settings
    3. Click System
    4. Click Storage

    2. Are there alternatives to local storage space?

    Absolutely! If you don’t need to save everything on your local drive (most people don’t), you can take advantage of cloud-based storage solutions. This can help you minimize the space you occupy on your computer’s local drive, without you having to worry about maxing out disk drive space. Plus, you’ll feel confident that your work is always backed up in the event of a computer malfunction.

    3. How much processing power you need?

    When buying a new computer, the most important thing to think about is what you’re planning to use your computer for. As you might have assumed, not all computers run the same. Some are designed to handle complex applications at rapid processing speeds, and others are not. If you plan on running large programs like Adobe Suite, you’ll need more processing power than if you’re just using your computer casually with the occasional Netflix binge session in between internet browsing and sending emails. Take a look at the system requirements of the apps you need to help you figure out what processing power to look for.

    4. What features you want?

    Now here’s the fun part: deciding what features you want in your next computer. Maybe you just need a computer that functions easily, or perhaps you want a total touchscreen display and stylish colors to match. Whatever inspired your search for your next PC, it’s a good idea to take note of your must-haves and nice-to-haves to help you organize your thoughts and stay focused while you’re comparing options.

    Takeaways

    For the average consumer, shopping for a computer can feel like an overwhelming process at first. While there are a lot of foreign terms to familiarize yourself with, buying a new computer doesn’t have to be a daunting task. Simply follow these tips and do a bit of your own research, and you’ll surely end up with a computer you’ll love for years to come.
