PC Hardware Specs
Choose the right PC hardware specs to save big money on
unpredictable installation and support costs.

Although promoted PC configurations change
daily and weekly, there are some must have and some recommended
optional line items to look for when you purchase a small business
PC.
In a perfect world, all software and hardware
vendors claiming compatibility, under a particular operating system
or PC environment, would have products that work well together. But,
this isn’t a perfect world.

You can save yourself considerable time and
potential aggravation, and pick up substantial out-of-pocket
savings, by getting various hardware components and software
programs preinstalled with the purchase of a new PC.
In much the same way that you’ll often find greater overall value
by getting more menu items bundled into a complete dinner at a
restaurant, such as when a meal includes soup, salad, beverage or
dessert, there are many times when it makes small business sense to
purchase various hardware components and upgrades with the purchase
of the PC -- as opposed to shopping for these hardware components
and upgrades a la carte at a later date. And we’re not just
talking about out-of-pocket cost savings. There is huge potential
soft cost savings as well.
Action Items
When you purchase new PC hardware, do you
typically have a shopping list of must have and optional components?
Have you ever tried to upgrade or add on a
component to a PC yourself and run into major compatibility problems
because of internal system conflicts or operating system
incompatibilities?
When you purchase a new PC, do you ask
about options that can be factory installed to eliminate frustration
and potentially expensive support costs?
