The Most Important Things to Consider Before Buying Your Desktop Computer

Before buying your desktop computer, you first must determine what you want to use it for. Once you have identified what you want to use the PC for, you need to zero in on the following factors:

Operating System

An operating system (OS) is system software that handles computer software, hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. It is a major determinant of desktop prices in Kenya. iMacs and Windows PCs generally cost more than those running on Chrome OS.
At Devices Technology Store, we sell computers that run on the three major operating systems; Windows, OS X, and Chrome OS.

Windows OS

If you are looking for a PC for video editing, gaming or just everyday use, we recommend that you buy one from us that is running on Windows. Most desktops for sale in Kenya run on Windows Operating System (OS). It is well-supported meaning ready availability of components, accessories and software in the market designed to work seamlessly with Windows. The leading PC games are optimized for Windows, making it a better choice for gaming desktops.

OS X

It is the exclusive OS for Apple computers such as Macbooks and iMac’s.
InDesign, Photoshop, and other popular design software are optimized for OS X platform. It has great performance and stability. OS X works very well with other Apple devices, such that it is very easy to transfer files to your iPad or iPhone.
OS X however is not compatible with a majority of popular accessories and softwares used in Kenya. If you want to use specific software and it is only available for Windows, you will be forced to switch to a Windows OS. Apple desktop computers prices in Kenya are generally higher than those of their Windows and Chrome counterparts.

Chrome OS

Chrome OS is optimized for web-based computing. It is best for people who just want to get online. It is the only OS that grants access to the many apps on the Google store.

Form factor

The form factor is also a determinant of desktop computer prices in Kenya. Form factor refers to the size of the computer’s motherboard, the backbone of the computer. The motherboard ties together all the components of the computer and allows them to communicate with each other.

Tower Form factor PCs

Tower form factor PCs are much larger than mini PCs. You can easily upgrade and customize a tower PC, fitting in much more powerful components than you can in a mini-PC. However, tower CPU price in Kenya is generally higher than that of the mini PC.

All-in-One PCs

All-in-one PCs are a fusion of a tower PC and a monitor display. They have a small footprint in comparison with other form factors and many came with touch functionality. This makes them a great choice for those who don’t have the luxury of space and want to keep their offices tidy.

Small Form Factor PCs

Small Form Factor PCs are smaller than tower PCs. They work just like the tower PCs, but they don’t have room for high-performance components or expansion. This makes the Small Form Factor CPU price in Kenya to be cheaper than Tower PCs

Gaming PCs

Gaming desktops all have dedicated graphics cards and powerful processors which allow them to handle even the most demanding games.

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

CPU prices in Kenya, just like in any other part of the world, constitute a major factor of the overall computer prices. We have the latest CPU for sale in Nairobi and across the country that include Intel core i7, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i3, dual-core and core 2 duo.

A CPU is the electronic circuitry that executes the instructions of computer programs. The instructions include basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output operations.

This allows it to process multi-threaded information at once, so you can have more apps and tabs running at the same time. It also allows you to move fast between different app windows.

For demanding software, such as photo editing and video editing, you will need a computer that is equipped with a faster processor. This is because all modern creative applications are optimized to run optimally on several cores.

Other CPU-related factors that you need to consider are clock speed and memory cache. The clock speed is measured in Gigahertz (GHz) and controls how fast the CPU runs. At higher clock speeds, your software will run more smoothly and faster.

Memory cache is the temporary storage area where the CPU can quickly retrieve data from. Tasks line up in the memory cache before they are executed by the processor. A bigger memory cache enables the CPU to work through heavy tasks much faster. If you are planning to use your computer for demanding software such as Illustrator, you need 4 MB and above.

Prices of desktop computers that are equipped with more robust processors are higher than those fitted with less powerful ones.

Memory

Random-access memory (RAM) is an important factor to consider, especially if you are planning to use demanding apps and have lots of different tabs open. The more RAM the better. This will enable the processor to take on more tasks at once.

Storage

PC storage is the area where all of your documents and apps go when you save them. There are three different types of storage available on desktop PCs; hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drives (SSD), and solid-state hybrid drives.
HDDs are the most common and are available in a range of different capacities, from 160GB Hdd to a huge 10TB Hdd. Unlike HDDs, SSD drives have no moving parts and they work much faster. Solid-state hybrid drives combine the capacity of an HDD with the performance of an SSD.

Conclusion

Before buying your desktop computer, you must first determine what you are going to use it for. It can be photo editing, music recording, video editing, graphic design, gaming, servers, business, and everyday use.

This decision will influence the kind of specs you will quote when you place your order because desktop computers for sale in Nairobi vary in specifications and design. In Short, Prices of desktop computers are determined by the specifications they feature. A gaming PC for instance is more expensive than one for everyday use such as essay typing. This is because it features superior specs such as faster processors.
