Branded PC or Assembled PC

You want to buy a PC but you are not able to decide which one to go for, Branded or Assembled.
I have mentioned some advantages and disadvantages of both the types.

Branded PC:- Entire PC is assembled or bundled by branded company with single brand name
using OEM hardware. eg. Dell Optiplex PCs, HP Pavilion PCs, Compaq presario PCs, etc.

Advantages of branded PC

1. Come with Preloaded Operating system.

2. Quality assured because manufactures of Banded PCs are expertise in this industry.

3. We can expect good performance.

4. Good Service support.

5. Come with PC restore CD.

Disadvantages of branded PC

1. 20 to 30 % expensive when compare to an assembled PC

2. Difficult to upgrade.

3. Not possible to customize the configuration

Assembled PC:-Assemble a PC with hardware part and peripherals of various brands. Eg. make
a PC with Intel processor, Intel  mother board, Seagate Hard disk, LG DVD Writer, Samsung monitor, Logitec mouse and Keyboard,Numeric UPS etc..

Advantages of an assembled PC

1. You can customize the configuration.

2. easy to upgrade.

3. Cheaper when compare to branded PC

4. Most of the parts come with 3 to 5 year warranty.

Disadvantages of an assembled PC

1. Service support is related to d shop only.

2. Uncertain about quality.

Finally I would like to recommend Branded PCs for people who do not want any headaches of 

service support issues and do not want to upgrade their PCs. These PCs are very good for corporate.

Assembled PCs for people who know computer hardware well, they can handle technical problem
themselves, Prefer to upgrade the hardware frequently.
