When to get an electronic device repaired and when to buy a new one
Friday, July 30, 2010
Electronic devices play important part in our daily life, as if we can't live without it. There two most reasonable conditions for us to replace electronic devices with a new one.
First, our electronic devices break down fatally and cost for repair is higher than its second hand.
Sometimes, there are people that will try to fix their devices and save their electronic devices although those devices already hard to be repaired if those devices are: gifts from a precious person, an antique device, or a collectible thing.
Second, our electronic devices are already out-of-date. Electronic devices are always improved as technology is improving. Electronic devices that already out-of -date may give more problems in their reparation.
When we have a computer with processor Pentium II and lower RAM, we'll find it difficult to do many computer works because it's very slow. It happens every time when we power on computer, try to copy or save files, download files, open some files, and so on. When it's broken, it will be difficult to find the compatible hardware since it's already out-of-date and it will cost more.
When we have a 10-year-old fridge, we should replace it with a new one because that fridge usually still use CFC-refrigerant system and it can cause ozone depletion (non environmental friendly). Besides, may be it has fatal-unfixed damage or it already has physical defect such as corrosion in cooling-coil.
However, there are also some people that like to replace their electronic devices because of pride. That kind of people will like to buy the latest model although their current one still can be used.
