Since we are talking about branded computers, the brand is naturally very critical. The brand often represents the grade and quality of the product, and as an intangible commodity, the brand carries its own intrinsic value. Different grades of brands use very different computer components. From a small point of view, the famous brand of the mouse by the world famous mouse manufacturing company Logitech or other large factories to provide OEM, while the small brand of products will find a cheaper manufacturers to provide OEM products, although the two appearance may be similar to the mouse on the respective brands labeled, but the quality of the internal and the user to use the feel of the two are very different. The same in the computer internal cables, power supplies, cooling fans and other aspects of the selection of high-grade brand-name computers also have unique characteristics. The big picture, such as the same configuration of 17-inch color display, the famous brand computer manufacturers will choose a large-scale well-known display manufacturers to provide its OEM products, and according to different grades of computers, configure different performance of the display. The small brand manufacturers will choose the nearest supplier or choose a lower price point of the product, usually configured with the monitor is an entry-level model, anyway, playing their own brand and model, the general user can not know its bandwidth and performance indicators, unless it is a certain number of display as a selling point for the product or the signature model, only to use a better monitor. In short, the world's leading brands of computers used within the accessories, although not the material is strong, but always just right.
The brand of the computer can be divided into a variety of grades according to the size, market awareness, international and domestic market share and other factors.
The first category is the international level of well-known products, with strong technical strength. We often see in the media IBM, HP, DELL, etc. belong to this category. This grade of products due to the high added value of the brand, so in the same configuration under the price is the highest, but a penny for a penny, these products are very good quality hardware, machine configuration compatibility, normal use is not prone to hardware problems. Global electronics industry are prevalent product globalization, manufacturing localization, computer products are no exception. Many internationally renowned brands of computers, especially desktop computers are not our traditional concept of the United States "original imports", the internal components are not manufactured by the same brand company, more than designated manufacturers to provide OEM products. However, brand-name computer manufacturers pay attention to quality management, OEM products provided by other manufacturers, but also to their own standards for acceptance before entering the assembly line. With strong technical strength and design capabilities, according to market trends for the masses of home users designed for home appliances computer products, the operation is more simple and easier to get started. In short, these well-known brands for the user is the confidence and quality assurance.
But these products will encounter some problems when upgrading, due to the use of some products with technical protection measures, so it is best to upgrade the accessories used to upgrade the original factory to provide the product, otherwise, if you use the regular compatible parts upgrade, easy to appear inexplicable problems. These original accessories are very expensive, so home users should consider the future upgrade costs may be very high after the purchase. For business users usually do not need to upgrade, when they will eliminate the old computer.
In addition, as international brand-name products, their after-sales service is better, in the warranty period problems will be no excuses to assume the warranty obligations until the last day of the warranty period. Many products also provide technical support hotline, in addition to answering the user's use of the problem can also be recommended to support the expansion of the equipment, and the phone connection rate is high, e-mail replies in a timely manner in detail, unlike some of the small brands of the hotline for a long time is always busy.
The second category for the domestic production of brand-name computers, well-known companies around the country has considerable popularity, to Lenovo, Founder and other brands as a representative. With the advantages of localization, product quality and price (relative to imported brand-name machines), product configuration close to the needs of domestic users, product configuration updated in a timely manner, the overall performance is not worse than the imported brands, there is a considerable after-sales service capabilities, some products also provide a national warranty. Products to the standard parts-based, future upgrades do not have to spend more to buy special parts. Domestic enterprises also have considerable R & D strength, in line with the trend of international household computers home appliances, designed their own appearance in line with Chinese tastes, the introduction of some similar products. In terms of software, to provide a complete set of full Chinese application software, including home, office, anti-virus, text editing, fast system recovery and other commonly used functions. Lenovo brand computers provide real-time scene interactive operating environment "happy home" is a very typical domestic excellent software.
The third category is the local computers produced by some formal enterprises, which have sales and maintenance outlets in specific geographical areas. The performance of the machine also has a certain guarantee, the price is more flexible. It should be said that these computers have fewer features and are mainly practical.
The fourth category of the so-called branded machine is some of the small units rented computer city storefront, after applying for a brand of their own after the assembly of the computer. Offer does not include the cost of genuine software, many of which is the form of shop-cum-factory, this brand-name machine can be said that in addition to more than one trademark name, in essence, there is no major difference with the compatible machine. In order to attract customers, generally low-priced strategy, the price is even cheaper than a similar configuration of compatible machines. In order to obtain profits, often take advantage of the user's computer hardware configuration of a half-knowledge, using high-grade CPU with cheap miscellaneous motherboards and low-priced graphics cards and even counterfeit product strategy. So this kind of "brand machine" for the industry personnel contempt.
Branded computers are not suitable for all users due to the characteristics of different grades and types of branded computers. The user group suitable for the purchase of brand-name computers, first of all, commercial users (including business users), they require a uniform computer configuration and easy maintenance, manufacturers can provide better technical support and support services. Commercial users generally do not need to run more complex game programs, the high demand for multimedia requirements are not very necessary, so the configuration is not necessarily very high. Commercial users require computers to be able to work continuously for long periods of time without failure, and sometimes the value of the data stored in a computer far exceeds the price of the computer itself. This puts a high demand on the average computer downtime, not just put together a set of computers can be achieved. A unit all use the same famous brand of computer, from a side can also reflect the company's image. Therefore, for commercial users, the international famous brand of business machine is the best choice.
The second is the mass of individual home users, many of these users are not very familiar with the operation of the computer, the purchase of computers just for some specific purposes such as speculation, the Internet, the child to learn the computer and so on. They also do not need a very high-grade configuration, but the need for computer operation as simple as possible, never software failure, for the general user, software failure and hardware equipment problems is the same end result. Because the brand machine in the appearance of the design of considerable autonomy, many foreign brands of computers are now beginning to home appliances to the development of the aspect. First of all, its appearance to give up the standard appearance of traditional computers, and furniture into one, to provide a more reasonable layout, will be some commonly used interfaces such as USB ports installed in the front panel of the chassis, and second in the chassis or keyboard to provide some special shortcuts, so that the user can be specific keys to quickly start the commonly used programs, without having to remember the formal operation, the application of home appliances like the operation of the same simple. Once again, brand-name computers provide a more graphic operating software, such as the famous "happy home", so that the function of the operation of a more graphic, very suitable for users who have just begun to contact with the computer soon. From this point of view that the domestic famous brand computer is a good choice, if the budget is more, imported brand-name home computer nature is better, if the budget is limited, you can refer to some of the small and medium-sized brand utility configuration of the computer.
There are also some professional users who need to buy brand-name computers, because these users have put forward harsh requirements for the performance of each, compatible machines are difficult to meet the requirements. Some professional users need configuration beyond the scope of the PC, only some brand-name computer configuration to meet the requirements, such as SUN's workstations.
Overall, brand-name computers are suitable for the general public, business users and all kinds of computer "users" rather than "players". So if you're a hands-on computer enthusiast or gaming fan, it's best to DIY your own computer.
Computer purchase notes
Users in the confirmation of a brand, in addition to its overall strength of the concern, the main inquiries about the brand in the local after-sales service and sales scale. Compare the configuration and price of different brands of computers, should ask the specific configuration rather than the quotation on the general statement, such as the quotation marked "8MB AGP graphics card", we should ask what it uses the graphics processing chip? Although different chips of the graphics card are 8MB of video memory, but the price performance is very different. Similarly, we have to ask the hard disk, sound card, motherboard indicators in detail, more conducive to horizontal comparison. Some brand-name computers individual models to highlight certain features, such as the configuration of the LCD monitor, CD-RW, etc., which is not very necessary for the average home user, but also to make the price of computers rise a lot. Selection of brand-name computers, especially mid-range price point, should not be overly pursued certain features or configurations ahead of the overall configuration of the level, otherwise it will affect the level of the overall configuration.
The brand-name computers include one called iMAC, which uses a translucent shell that is very appealing. However, this computer uses the software format and processor and operating system, and the current mainstream market PC is different, although its performance is superior and powerful, but the versatility and the use of Intel or AMD processor processor compared to the PC to be much narrower, the user should be carefully considered before purchasing.
Buying an imported branded machine should be careful whether you buy a water goods, water goods computer usually do not get the warranty service and technical support in China. General difference between the water goods computer mainly look at the packaging and randomly provided information, positive
goods are generally available in Chinese information, in the box with the Chinese logo, if it is an imported goods, often affixed with a so-and-so agent word. The safest thing to do is to provide the body number of the branded computer to the brand's regional agent to check whether it is genuine, if the problem can be dealt with early.
Many brand-name computers come with valuable software applications, accessories, Internet time cards, gifts and other freebies, which are sometimes easily retained by middlemen. In general, the brand-name machines are pre-installed with genuine operating systems such as WIN9X, in fact, the cost of the software has long been calculated into the sales price of the entire machine, the user should get the Windows OEM CD-ROM and authorization certificates. Some merchants will be taken to intercept the Windows OEM CD-ROM in addition to sell money, many retail WIN98 OEM CD-ROM with authorization certificates on the market mostly from this source. In addition, a few brand-name computers may install non-Windows software randomly in order to reduce the cost of software
Please be aware of this as well.
Lastly remind the user, in the purchase of computers should be issued to fill in the details of the invoice, and ask for warranty vouchers. If the computer is repaired, it is also necessary to fill in the maintenance records of the maintenance office in order to provide effective legal evidence in the future when disputes may arise.
