It may be a hard fact to swallow but
the truth is except US, the rest of the world has an ever increasing market for
used computers for their greater reliability and low prices. Why is that so and
what point US users are missing? We will look into this here.
Whenever one is in need of a
computer here in USA the only option he has in mind is buying a new computer or
the latest version which includes paying a lot of premium on it with out taking
into account seriously whether it is suitable for their use or not. It is
usually because of two reasons; 1) the trend that buying a computer means
buying a new one only, and 2) the perceived notion that latest is the best.
What? You find no problem with these trends? Let us look into them so that you
realize what is wrong with them. Both of these conceptions are induced into
consumer's thinking with the help of commercials and ads. These capitalist
adverts have made us think that whenever you buy something buy new. And when
you buy some thing buy its latest models when we should be buying what suits
our needs, budget and manageability. Also there is no guarantee that when we
buy new and the latest we will get what we need and find it useful. If you go
few centuries back when marketing industry was not into this boost as it is now
you will see people bought old things as eagerly as the old ones depending on
the usability. Had this idea 'buy new only' been an old one than Aladdin of
Arabian nights would not have bothered to rub that old oil lamp to use it
again. So first of all get your mind free from commercial induced notions; 'buy
the new X model and live a smooth life...', 'get the latest X and live a
trouble free life...' because it simply does not happen. Open your eyes and
search with their help a Computer that fulfills your needs as well as fit your
budget. There is no need to keep up to date with the latest. Be wise and spend
intelligently on the one that suits your usage not the new, latest, fastest or
most talked about.
Another important fact to know for
those still not convinced. Do you know that there are many people out there who
prefer a used computer over the latest? Yes there are many who prefer a used
computer for some of the features of used computers that do not accompany the
new. Used computers are preferred for older versions of operating system and
soft wares which give more space to access and store documents and media files.
Older versions occupy less space and do not come heavy on the system. Used
computers are also preferred for their easy operations as it is less complex to
operate them because of which organizations providing computer training prefer
them for teaching basics, parents opt for them so that their children find it
easy to learn computer and grown ups who encountered computer at the age of 40s
and 50s chose them because they find operating a used computer less complex.
Victor Epand an expert consultant for computers, laptops and software writes in
his article 'why buy used computer' "If compatibility (with newer versions
of soft ware and operating systems) is found to be fine with then there is no
problem with the Used computers"
Now come to basic problem, the
American nature 'not to buy a used thing. In most of the cases where a used
computer is not of a very old version the only problem people find with a Used
Computer is it was used earlier. My question is; do you really think that a new
computer comes straight into your hands after getting assembled? No, it is not
possible. Every computer is used and tested for its functionality before
getting packed in the box as new!
Also used computers come with better
offers and lower prices like those available at Electro Computer Warehouse so
just think what else you can buy along with the computer this time or how much
you can save. On a used computer you pay less, save premium and get yourself
free from worries because a used computer is easily replaceable. So buy a new
computer, grapple with it and change it when you learn what suits you more.
In today's days of on going recession,
used computers are the best solution for the budget conscious users. Just
choose one from wide range available at Electro Computer Warehouse and see for
yourself because those who ever bought a used computer hardly buy a new next
time. So choose yourself...
