Brand name or generic computer systems
You have a choice when buying a Personal Computer (PC) between a brand name system and a generic system.
Manufacturers supply brand name computer packages. These are usually sold through department stores and computer superstores or directly from the manufacturer through computer magazines. Generally, brand name packages offer quality parts and support. However, they may also include non-standard parts that can only be replaced by the manufacturer. This could be more expensive in the long term.
Smaller computer stores will put together computers with parts from several manufacturers. You end up with one brand of monitor and another brand of processor. Sometimes these generic computer systems are labelled with the shop's name. The parts in generic systems are usually standard and cheaper but the quality varies widely.
