Do You Need To Accessories Your PC? Then a Little IT Training Can Go Long Way
I took roughly 3 hours to try to convince a customer of mine that new computers out of the box actually do not arrive with all the stuff you really need in order to have a fully functioning PC.
We tried to convince him that a fully functional computer is one that is personalized with specially selected hardware and software accessories – and that the computer purchased at the store doesn’t come with these things.
Regrettably, all of our convincing was to our avail. Our client insisted that he should by no means need more than what came with his boxed produce and that we were just trying “bilk” more money out of him.
As computer consultants, it’s our job and task to make sure our clients are 100% happy when they walk out our offices. But our job is pointlessly made harder when people don’t take the time to find out about computer accessories and familiarize themselves with the limitations of store-bought computers.
Hopefully by the time you finish reading this article, you’ll be aware of the lesson that we were trying to teach our client: “What comes out of the box is really just a starter kit.”
The typical computer packet comes with a CPU unit, keyboard, mouse, and speaker set. That may be just well for some, but most people require more than that above all in today’s “connected” social order.
In this day and age, people demand to have full multimedia suites, the latest graphic technologies and accommodation for USB slots so they can enjoy the latest peripherals.
These extras aren’t incorporated with “what comes out of the box,” and the only way to get them is to accessorize.
To demonstrate the significance of accessorizing, we like to use the “plain dough” analogy. Let’s say that a brand new computer is a batch of plain dough – waiting to be flavoured and seared into something practical.
If we want to use this dough to make a scrumptious batch of chocolate chip cookies, we would need to “accessorize” this dough with chocolate chips and a little brown sugar.
Just like plain dough, a spanking brand new PC doesn’t have much functionality unless you add to it!
Depending on what’s desired, accessorizing doesn’t need to be costly. In fact, you can get away with paying a negligible amount for extra software and hardware if these accessories are for kids.
Regardless of pricing, it’s vital to understand that accessories can become “provisions,” and that the best time to get them is the instant you buy a new computer.
Waiting too long to accessorize can cause more complications than required because while you wait, manufacturers continuously develop new technologies – technologies that your computer won’t be able to have room for in the future.
Once you’re ready to accessorize, the new goods on the marketplace are too superior for your computer and they just won’t operate. This is a typical problem experienced by those who yearn for to use hardware designed for Windows Vista on a Windows XP or Windows 2000 machine.
