A computer either runs well or not at all. Most often, they've upgraded to a new, faster machine with more computing power. But that doesn't mean their old computers can't serve someone else well. Premier PC, a Louisville-area computer sales and service company, recently launched CPUsed to meet growing demand. Computer shops First-time buyers may be wise to stick with shops that provide service, advice and even warranties.
Shops also give buyers a variety of choices and the opportunity to compare computers side by side.
You can also count on computer shops for help with the common problems people encounter setting up and running their first computers. But such niceties are also reflected in prices. Be prepared to pay a premium for used machines from a shop. For example, we saw used Pentium systems at Computer Renaissance selling for no less than you'd pay for faster, more powerful new systems from some Louisville computer dealers. You may be able to save money by buying from a small dealer, such as Johnson.
