Thanksgiving is a time of many traditions for the normal American family and one of them seems to be trying to find the cheapest computer they can and then deciding if they can get it. There never seems to be any question about if you need it, but just whether you can get up early enough and before anyone else to line up for the honor of buying a super cheap PC.
Computers are like cars, they are not all built to the same standard. Sure they may all have 4 wheels and an engine, they even all have window wiper blades and seats but you could never mistake a Mini for a Rolls Royce could you?
Unlike cars, computers do tend to look the same from the outside, it is usually a big black box and occasionally there is some gray trim round the edges. There are some buttons and a light or three, on the front and on the back there are loads of holes where you plug stuff in.
So when someone sees the ads for the annual thanksgiving sale they see "cheap computer" and that is all it takes to get them going a bit crazy. I mean who does not want a super cheap pc, there is almost always at least one member of the family who would benefit from having a PC of their own. OK maybe the dog does not care but everyone else would love one.
So what is wrong with the bargain PC's that you are sure to see in just about every black Friday sales advert? They are often cheap because corners have been cut to produce them, there is so little profit in each PC they sell that to cut them down even further they have to cut important things.
Maybe they are using hard drives that are a little small and slow, maybe it does not have quite as much RAM as it ideally needs. So you are not getting a pc cheap you are getting a cheap pc which is totally different and you may well end up wishing you had stayed in bed for those extra few hours on the last Friday in November.
