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 tailored 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 never need more than what came with his boxed product 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.
My aim is that by the end of this little report you are reading, you should grasp the fact that I was making sure the customer was aware that "The starter kit is just the beginning", you really need to invest more if you are to have a complete PC.
The typical computer package comes with a CPU unit, keyboard, mouse, and speaker set. That may be just fine for some, but most people require more than that especially in today's "connected" culture.
Today's users call for full multimedia capabilities, a wide variety of graphics gear, and accommodations for the diverse portables we now get pleasure from.
When you purchase a computer straight from the store, you dont get any of these extras with it. You need to purchase some accessories to get them.
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 basic dough - waiting to be flavoured and baked into something functional.
If we want to use this dough to make a tasty batch of chocolate chip cookies, we would call for to "accessorize" this dough with chocolate chips and a little brown sugar.
Akin to "plain dough," the brand new computer isn't very helpful by itself. It requires accessorizing.
Taking into account what is necessary, accessorising can actually be cheaper than you think. In actual fact you can spend allot less if you shop online.
Regardless of cost, it's significant to understand that accessories can become "necessities," and that the best time to get them is the split second you buy a new computer.
If you decide to wait too long before you make the additional purchases will 9 times out of 10 cause more trouble than its worth as PC's are continually developing the latest in technology design, so too will the peripherals you need to make it operational.
Once you get round to buying new peripherals you will soon see that the technology on the market is now too superior to the computer you bought a few months back. This is a problem faced by many people on a consistent basis, this is why as some one who has been involved with PC's and has IT training experience, you should accessorise your PC.
