lol, that is a god awful computer. Small form factor too, which is probably why it has a weaker graphics card. |
The creator off this thread knows so little about computers, that he has to ask on a forum if he should buy a PC or a Mac.
Also, he didn't mention that he wanted a gaming computer. All he said, was he wanted some advice. He made one post. ONE post, which asked for advice on Mac VS PC. He's an ENTRY level user.....
Another thing, the computer I linked doesn't "suck" it's actually quite a machine at that price point. Around 350 bucks for Windows 7, 3gb of ram out of the box, a warranty, 2core processor running at 2.7ghz, no heat problems, low power usage, fast, reliable, and actually, a half way decent graphics card as far as integrated goes, and it'll play World of Warcraft at a fair clip according to the EXCELLENT reviews it has recieved at Newegg.....
Because, you....people....he's having to ask if he wants a PC or a Mac. He is not going to be able to upgrade his videocard. He's not going to be modding his case, and he's not going too be playing HD gaming on his PC for a price this low, because those PCs don't exist unless you build them and pirate the OS, and guess what guys, guess what. This guy CANT BUILD A PC. The small form factor might even be a plus for him. Many who bought it, enjoyed its compact size. In fact, this is a perfect office computer.
The PC I linked is a great for the dollar, it will be able to perform anything a computer can do, short of graphics intensive processing, at a very reasonable price point. It is a fantastic entry level computer. It's a great second computer, and for say, a student, it would be an ideal desktop with plenty of multimedia potential.
The OP is an ideal candidate for an entry level computer, though as I've mentioned, the computer I linked is not only quite powerful relatively, it is also very cheap. It's also very versatile with HDMI out, and a wide array of connectivity features.
The major misassumption you've made, is that I believed the PC I linked was intended for HD gaming or for modification. It obviously wasn't, and I would have been completely ignorant to recommend something like that to my target audience.
You see, I thought of all of this, before I posted. I knew, and calculated everything I've just written, in seconds, befored I decided to post my suggestion for a computer for this person. It was a great suggestion. I was actually shopping for an entry level PC for my brother over the past few weeks, so I knew this was a good choice.
How much thought did you put into your posts? Do you think that because you can read specs on newegg that I couldn't? Is that a skill, to you? Would you suggest he go with the 1600 dollar prebuilt HP? I mean, sure it has Vista, but it'll run Crysis at acceptable fps. Maybe he should build a computer like me? What parts would you suggest, because we both know, obviously, he should build one. Everyone can do that. Everyone.
This has really ground my gears.

I'm not saying it's the best deal in computers,but it's a damn good entry level PC for a fair, and I believe, for a good price, but it obviously isn't going to work for current gen gaming.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
