COMPUTER 100: THE BASICS
Nowadays, it would be hard to imagine a business that doesn't use computers, especially for accounting or inventory purposes. But some small businesses still don't use computers and may not even have a need for one, just like the old automotive store run by one man in his 70's or the liquor store that's not part of a franchise. But if these small businesses ever start to use computers, they maybe thinking of an expansion of their enterprise.
Here are the rundown of what computers small businesses may want to buy.
DESKTOP COMPUTERS weighed about 10 pounds and they stay mainly in one place, on top of a desk or underneath it. You would need to buy a screen monitor, keyboard, and mouse with it.
LAPTOP COMPUTERS are also called NOTEBOOK COMPUTERS. They weigh less than a pound to 2 pounds. They are designed for mobile computing.
NETBOOK COMPUTERS are mini laptop computers weighing no more than 1 pound. Many cheap netbook computers are not technically computers. They are mainly storage devices with a large screen to view data from.
USED COMPUTERS can be good or bad depending on where you buy it. Some used computer stores or people who make a living selling computers may tinker with old existing systems and replaced their parts. Incompatible parts will result in malfunction or a bug in the computer. If you have a simple need, a used computer with the same original parts will suffice your business, unless the original parts have already started breaking down.
NEW COMPUTERS are the best bet for any business. You should always buy it from a refuted store, so you can return or replace it for whatever reason. If you want to save money, buy the bundle with the computer, the screen monitor, the keyboard, and the mouse included. Or you could wait until the computer is on sale and buy the cheaper peripherals when they are also on sale.
Happy computing!
