Hello there,
I am looking for advice from someone who know computers for the most part.
I am about to buy a new PC-just the tower with a conscious budget of $400. So far, I have narrowed it down to 3 choices:
Asus: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Essentio+Desktop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/3558048.p?id=1218413774641&skuId=3558048
Cheaper Lenovo: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+-+IdeaCentre+Desktop+-+4GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/5616637.p?skuId=5616637&id=1218672939372#tabbed-customerreviews
Expensive Lenovo: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+-+IdeaCentre+Desktop+-+6GB+Memory+-+500GB+Hard+Drive/4603026.p?id=1218496158862&skuId=4603026
My main uses for the computer is for school and homework, lots of web browsing, watching videos and movies, downloading, music, and a bit of games.
So I am looking for something that is FAST, reliable, and LASTS LONG (since my old one died only after a few years ).
The lenovo ones seems to be faster and has a better processor and graphics card than the asus. My main question is, does the difference in the specs between the computers worth the price increase?
If someone can break down the computers and compare them in a way where a newbie understands, that would be great! Which computer would you buy? Please rate them from 1-3.
Thank you very much for any help =}
ps: if you have any other computer suggestions, please feel free to post them and tell me how they compare with these. Thank you very much!!
Here is where I got these computers from: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olstemplatemapper.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=-5750338870881747433&id=pcat17080&type=page&lcn=Computers+%26+Tablets&sc=abComputerSP&st=processingtime%3A%3E1900-01-01&usc=abcat0500000&cp=1&sp=%2Bcurrentprice+skuid&nrp=50&qp=cabcat0500000%23%230%23%232g0~~cabcat0501000%23%230%23%232e~~cpcmcat212600050008%23%230%23%231~~q4661737433736b753934~~nf396%7C%7C5370656369616c204f6666657273&add_to_pkg=false&pagetype=listing&gf=y
Feel free to take a look around
