  Low-cost PCs could offer path to the future
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Computer Weekly | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Analysts advise businesses to buy low-end PCs now and replace them later rather than investing in high-end machines in an attempt to future-proof hardware

Businesses have been urged to take advantage of falling PC prices to buy low-spec hardware , rather than paying a premium for "future-proof" machines. Many PC manufacturers are offering business desktops with good specifications for less than £350. Analysts have said prices at these levels should prompt IT departments to consider whether it is worth buying high-end models with a longer life when PCs can be replaced so cheaply. Analyst firm Forrester has recommended that users hold off purchasing the future-proof hardware needed to run the Longhorn version of Windows, which is still being developed by Microsoft and is not due to be launched until 2006.
