Why you should buy a computer
Computers are very helpful in most peoples daily lives and alot of people in the United States have one. Computers can be used for many things including school, work, gaming, entertainment and communication.
Gaming
Gaming is a very popular thing to do for many teens and adults and where consoles are very popular most gamers don't know the advantages of the PC. Since the PC can be custom built Gamers know everything about their PC and how to fix it. Consoles are not upgradeable and settings are limited to what the developers choose. PC gaming is far more cost effective. Where the actual PC may be 200 dollars more than a console, games can be bought for much cheaper on a PC. To compare, games that are new generally cost 60 bucks, but on PC I can buy a new 60 dollar game on sale for 20. This is one reason you should buy a computer.
To the left is my custom gaming PC that I built. It cost 650 dollars total including 100 for the OS. It runs games at max settings and much higher FPS (Frames per Second) than a PS4 or Xbox One. This means we have better graphics and less wait time on a PC. |
Work and school
Computers are great for getting work done. It's much faster and easier to type things than to spend twice the time hand writing it. Also, it's a lot easier to have people edit your work. Now you can share files and work on them at the same time and the computer will help edit mistakes and fix things that are not right. School work gets done easier because all your work is online so you can access it and work on it from anywhere. This gets rid of any excuses that a student didn't get the work done. If you are not home then use a phone or your laptop and do homework wherever you are. Computers are also compatible with multiple displays which makes work a lot easier. I use two displays at home when doing school projects. I can put my document on one screen and the website I am reading from on the other.

Communication and entertainment
Entertainment is very easy to find and is accessible to pretty much everybody. Computers make this easier than ever. Companies like YouTube, twitch TV and other entertainment groups have users make videos for viewers to watch. You can find pretty much anything on YouTube that you want to watch for entertainment. Communication is also easier than ever. Almost everyone has a smart phone making them accessible from anywhere. Emails and texts are instant so you don't have to wait a week to get a letter back in the mail anymore.
