Decide to buy a computer these days and immediately you’re confronted with a complex decision process wherein you pit features against price. The choice is intensely personal and a total reflection of your tastes, priorities, and pocketbook. I know how I’ve gone about it in the past, but I was curious to see how other people approach the problem.
It wasn’t hard to get people to talk. (People are passionate about their computers!) But as they did, I identified three basic methods to decide on price:
- The features route
- The cheap route
- The set-price route
Now that I think about it, this may be true for a lot of purchases!
