Buying right the first time: for novice computer purchasers, here are some money-smart guidelines
Article Abstract:
An attorney buying a computer for a small office should plan to spend about $3,000 to get the best balance between price and performance. That will buy a Pentium 120 MHz processor, 16 MB of RAM with a cache of 256K, a 1-gigabyte hard drive, a quad-speed CD-ROM drive, a 15-inch monitor, and a good video card. Those shopping for a system should consider mail-order vendors as well as retail outlets, and insist on a 30-day money-back guarantee.
