The Combination

Written for students who just graduated and/or are inducted in a university program, specially mechanical engineering.

Now a days, there are many different electronic products around. All virtually do the same thing and we want then all rather than the need. People waste money on cell phones desktops, then buy laptops, phablets, tablets etc. too, but still aren't satisfied.

The best combination for me is as follows, (w.r.t. CAD)

1. Buy a high end desktop, the foremost advantage of that is you can't carry it everywhere! Specially if you go for camping or a picnic, the point is to enjoy the scenic stuff nature has made for us out there, rather than carry you laptop around and do the same things you do everyday even on the camp (outings make your brain work better!). The technical advantage is that you can perform tasks with ease on a desktop as compared to a laptop. Desktops have more power (wattage), they don't heat up much, while using desktops you usually sit up so you don't develop muscle pains. Desktops have room for upgrades, for at least 4 more years (after launch), while laptops become obsolete more quickly, e.g. you can change the display (monitor) for your desktop even after 10 years of launch and replace it with a higher resolution one! You can connect more peripherals with a desktop as compared to a laptop. CAD software run very well on desktops, like SolidWorks and Key-Shot. Due to the fact that the laptop processors and memory are under clocked, they do not perform well specially while rendering specially on battery power. If you are into PC gaming as well, a high end desktop will serve you loyally for 4 5 years easy in that account as well!! Thus saving the money for consoles and stuff.

2. Then buy a feature phone like the Nokia C2-00, it runs 2 active SIMs at a time and has excellent antenna, expandable memory, Bluetooth, even has a FM radio!

3. For photography buy a dedicated camera, only take out when required. No matter what everybody says, phone camera can never out perform a dedicated camera!

4. To take along with you on business trips, buy a small tablet or mini notebook, with "Viewer" versions of your CAD software installed. It will not make the system lag and it will help you do the job of presenting your designs and ideas perfectly and you wont be carrying a heavy duty/expensive laptop around all the time! And the battery life of mini notebooks and tablets even in many time greater than a high end laptop, you can even leave the charger behind on a one day business trip to a near by city!

Smart Phones are a waste of money for me, why spend thousands of rupees on a phone carry it with you all the time. Instead buy a High End Desktop like http://3dimensionaldesigningandmanufacturing.blogspot.com/2013/10/haswell-powered-cpu-build-guide-for-hi.html, a Feature Phone, a Tablet and a Camera.

Entry Level CPU Build Guide for Word Processing and Browsing; for October 2013 (Pakistan Market Prices and Parts Availability)

 

 

This is the least expensive, the most basic build guide, based on the parts available in Pakistan. This build is recommended for casual users and students wanting a basic computer for Microsoft® Office™ work. And for those who run games on consoles.

CPU

Intel® Pentium™ G-2020 Processor (3M Cache, up to 2.90 GHz) ~6,500 PKR, It has 2 cores and no HT technology, will perform everyday tasks like charm! It will struggle a with the running games at medium-low resolution. Just recommended for word processing and Internet.

Motherboard

Intel® Desktop Board DH61CR ~5,500 PKR, using 3rd party mother boards is not recommended in Pakistan because of no-warranty issues. Most of the importers buy from Intel and they come with warranty, others simply don't. This board supports 4 3 GB/s SATA, USB and PCI-e 2.1.

PSU + Case + Extra Fan

~3,000 PKR. For this build you can go for the built in 300 Watt power supply that comes with you casing, but due to large time spent gaming and/or rendering and due to hot temperature in Pakistan, the system heats up pretty bad, so be SURE to buy and add an extra 90 mm fan.

RAM

Kingston® KVR16N11/2 2 GB DDR 3 1600 MHz, ~2,000PKR  x1, as RAM is expensive these days, was at around half the price last year, so go for 1 DIMM 2 GB memory. (capacity of the recommended motherboard is 8GBx2 = 16 GB maximum).

HD

Seagate® Barracuda™ 7200 rpm 32 MB Cache 500 GB ~6,500 PKR. Buy the smallest/cheapest capacity/price available because most of us pre own portable hard drives anyway, use them for backup.

Optical Drive

Yeah, it was something too, something dinosaurs used! NOT recommended. Just wastage of money! We use USB ports to install any of the current OS, obviously. but of you don't have the ability to install the OS from USB port, or are afraid to make changes to your BIOS, please buy yourself a Super Drive.

WIFI

TP Link® WN722N ~1,000 PKR, it is a must as most of us have WIFI routers these days, so to get internet to your desktop, you will have to use this or a ~2,500 PKR 50+ meter LAN cable. The choice is yours! This isn't even a hard one!

This all adds up to 27,000 PKR without Graphics Card, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers and a Monitor which most of us pre own and do not change for ~8-10 years.

If you are buying everything from start, add ~2,500 PKR for keyboard and mouse, and ~12,000 for 900p monitor (Dell® or HP® only because of warranty issues).
