what do you want out of computers?

they are quite different from traditional electronic products and the brand names don't link much to qualities.

Think about it, what most people do with computers in their private lives and how much a computer costs.

With that much money spent, you'd expect a long period of enjoyment. Ironically, they depreciate the fastest.

So whoever budgets please cut the expense on computers and buy them as late as possible.

If you are rich AND just have to show off, check your cameras, other eletronics products, cars, home decorations... first. Just don't send too much to a "good" computer maker for what it isn't worth of. haha.
