Technical Consulting - Technology Purchase Advisory
Whether you are buying a new computers, digital cameras, TVs, DVD players, or mp3 players, there is important advice that you need before purchasing any type of technology. You want to buy the best technology that will fit your business & lifestyle.
Anticipation may create happiness, but buying too early leads mostly to frustration. If you sprang for an early-model inkjet printer, an $800 flat panel with all the resolution of a screen door, or a sub-VGA digital camera, the anticipation almost certainly beat the purchase, which probably has long since been consigned to the garage or the landfill. Procrastinators get better products and fewer headaches.
A few things to consider about tech purchases:
Big Brand Names
Big brand names often have the best products and best customer services. That's how they got that big brand name in the first place. It's often much better to buy a Sony then say a Visio TV for example. Sure one will cost a little more but very often they last 5x longer, operate better and have less problems.
Buy Yesterday’s Model Today
You may not thinks it's a good idea but new tech isn't always the best for bussiness. In fact, you should buy your computers and other electronics a few months after they were released. The newest technology usually has the most bugs and will cause you the most problems. The manufacturers wouldn’t realize the types of bugs their products have until a month or two later when the consumers have tested and purchased their products. Then, the manufacturers will fix the bugs and release their products without these issues into the stores. This process usually takes a few months, which is why you should wait this time frame to purchase. Therefore, you can purchase computers and electronics devices without the bugs. Plus by buying a model that was released a few months ago, you may save money.
Buy Extra Storage
Some technology products have a certain number of bytes that allow you to store information. It’s important to overestimate the amount of storage that you will need since software takes up space and need left over space to run efficiently. Otherwise if you get too little storage space, your electronic or computer item will run slow.
Don’t Buy Based on Price Alone
It is important to get the best deals out there, but don’t buy something because it is cheap. Otherwise, it will break easily because it is cheaply made, or it will be obsolete to your lifestyle.
