Computers: Buy or DIY? :: Technology Shopping Compare Contrast Essays

Computers: Buy or DIY? As we know, computer is very important in our daily life. We can’t live without computer, since it gives us entertainment, gives us a working place, and gives us a media to communicate to the world. However, not many peoples know how to choose a computer. Many peoples spent a lot to buy a computer but the configuration is like garbage. We can buy a factory built computer from some big company, but the configuration will be not much flexible. We can buy the computer with more selective items. I call it semi-DIY system, since it is more flexible and close to our need. And DIY is the most flexible method to get the computer. Building a computer system is easy and we don’t need to have some professional knowledge. Follow the instruction of the study book, and your dramatic system comes out. But how can we choose a good computer from the webpage? I choose the factory system from Dell.com, semi-DIY system from Alienware.com, and search the DIY components from pricewatch.com and slickdeals.net at the lowest price. We can get the most popular computer in the first two pages and the DIY component in the last two pages. In Dell.com, we have to do two steps to get into the page that selling desktop computers. First we have to choose home and home office product, then goes to the products desktop page. In the desktop selling page, it’s clearly show their systems on the right hand side and the special offer and new feature on the left. On each model it shows, they give the simple configuration with the price. Then they have a button to go to a page that shows the full configuration of the system. On each full configuration page, there is several customized system on show but we still can customize ourselves by click the link on the bottom. In the customize page, what we can switch is everything, from the CPU, Hard Drive or OS to the services support from DELL. Also, we can add accessories as we need. After customization, we can see the new price by clicking the update price button. From the above instruction, I can say that Dell.com is selling the computer in an effective and easy way. The well perform of the system in the clear way is very powerful. Also the page structure is clean that looks comfortable.
