I’ve had the same PC desktop for over eight years.

More accurately, the same beige, boxy, bland enclosure.

Buying a desktop ala carte has gotten easier over the years.

Only in recent years could a manufacturer direct PC be purchased without a keyboard and CRT monitor bundle.

We’re not out of the woods yet.

It’s about upgradability.

The more a equipment can grow with you, the economical it will be in the long run.

So buy what you need now and save money.

Then just buy upgrades like memory as it’s needed.

So ask the notebook salespeople at you retailer for models that provided upgradeability.
