A new staff came to start working with us today, but the problem there’s no computer provided yet. We hold a meeting and after the meeting it was known that the computer will be delivered the following day. I pity the new staff having to wait for a day for her work computer to be delivered. There’s two way of availing of a computer in our office. It’s through the purchasing office buying a complete set of desktop computer.

The new normal specifications for desktop computers:

• CPU Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHZ
• Hard Disk 160GB
• Memory DDR II 1024MB
• Optical Drive DVD-RW
• FX6200 256MB AGP
• Audio type on board
• USB Port
• Monitor 19 inch LCD
• Modem, Reader, Key Board
• Insurance 3 years

The above complete office computer set cost around $950 US.

Since the office is kind of squeezing some budget, they might go as well with some PC Kits wherein they could get a much better desktop computer at a lower price.

Here is a specification of a basic PC Kit level:

• Fully illustrated assembly guide
• 2.20 GHz Intel® Core™2 Duo
• 2GB SDRAM (2 x 1GB)
• 250GB Hard Drive
• Integrated Graphics Accelerator 950
• 16X DVD-ROM
• Keyboard and mouse
• Choice of operating system
• 30 day satisfaction guarantee

The basic desktop computer PC Kit will cost around $499.00 US.

The savings are around $500 US which is a big difference. So, I think our office choose this option that’s why there is a delay. It’s really a practical choice to go for PC Kit as it has a cheaper price at a higher specification computer.
