Computer Recommendations
At Jester’s Computers we will provide you our professional recommendation based on what we have experienced with PC’s over the years! If you aren’t sure you are welcome to call us during business hours (717) 642-6611 (Mon, Wed, Fri 9am -5pm & Tue / Thurs 9am-7pm)
- We do not recommend ALL-IN-ONE computers because the ability to perform repairs are minimal!
- We recommend Desktops over laptops because the parts and repair costs are substantially lower on desktops and some repairs are not possible on laptops!
Brands
To consider:
- Lenovo
- Acer
To avoid:
- Dell
- HP
We recommend avoiding the brands on the right primarily because of their poor customer service. With ANY laptop we highly recommend an extended warranty. By having an extended warranty consumers can avoid many of the issues that our customers have experienced.
Specifications
To consider:
- Highly recommend an extended warranty
- CPU (Processor) – Quad-core or better, higher Ghz the better
- Memory – A minimum of 4GB, 8GB, or more is recommended
- Hard drives – some mechanical hard drives are slow, solid-state is faster/more reliable
- CD Drive – some laptops don’t come with Disc drives
- Number of USB ports
To avoid:
- CD/DVD DRIVE – Some don’t have disc drives
- CPU – Celeron or Atom processors are VERY slow
- Memory – less than 4 GB is not enough
- Hard drive – Make sure you have enough storage space. TB is bigger than GB. Solid State Hard drives are recommended.
- Video – If your a gamer you will want something better than on-board video
Desktop Computers
We build Desktop PC’s which carry a 1-year parts and labor hardware warranty through us!
Since we purchase and build your computer many of the parts that are included in your system carry hardware warranties beyond the standard 1 year!
