One of the hard and fast rules when purchasing is to try to get the most bang per buck. However, one of the most common faults when doing this is simply just taking a look at two things – specification and price. But there’s so much more to weigh.
This is quite common for electronic gadgets. Oftentimes, buyers simply just focus on how much storage, or processing power, or memory you get for the price. However, the real calculation of bang per buck should also take into consideration the following:
Warranty. How long will you be covered. Mind you that when it comes to price, many of the cheaper models might come with shorter warranties. And guess what that probably means about…
Workmanship/Durability. Oh sure, it’s got gigs more storage and a higher-speced processor but the hinges are flimsy and the casing flexes. Shorter warranties and shoddy workmanship means that you’re actually getting less than what you think you’re paying for.
After-sales support. Just in case these things break down. When purchasing electronics, I usually prefer one particular store since they have excellent after sales service. I don’t mind if their prices are pricier by a buck or two. I just feel secure. So is my take on brands. Some brands just have horrible after-sales services despite their higher price tags.
