New Year, New PCs? | |
|
||
| Time: 09:16 EST/14:16 GMT | News Source: PC World | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim | ||
A look at what's in store for PCs in 2005, and why 2006 may be the year to buy.
Consumers thinking about buying a new personal computer in 2005 might be better off putting off their purchase until 2006. With few major changes in PC hardware or software due over the next year, the PC of 2005 is likely to look awfully similar to the PC of today. Big changes aren't due until 2006, when the Longhorn operating system from Microsoft, 64-bit applications, and optical drives based on the Blu-ray Disc and HD-DVD formats will become available to the average user. | ||

| I'm a little surprised that the article didn't mention BTX at all. You'd think that a major form factor change would earn a mention in the article. |

If someone needs a PC they should buy what they can afford that meets their needs at the present moment and upgrade later as needed.
Anyone putting off purchasing a PC until 2006 based on a December 2004 article probably doesn’t even need one. |

| I waited four years, that AMD 500Mhz systems is a good file server (W2K3), found a Gateway 820GM at a great buy, http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0%2C1759%2C1673881%2C00.asp - @BB I think I going to be OK for four more. |
