Why do Desktop computer systems not come with monitors?
Q. Looking through the ads, I notice that most, not all, systems advertised do not come with the monitor included. Why is this when I can buy a laptop of comparable value with, obviously, a monitor attached?
A. Thank you for your question! By asking this question you have helped me understand one big reason why so many people seem to want to buy laptops these days. You see, I run a computer repair business (in MN) and I always come across people that seem to want to buy laptops and I never can understand why. I always find myself advising folks to avoid buying one if at all possible, unless they really NEED the mobility of the laptop. Laptops are problem ridden, and very expensive to repair. First of all, they're more expensive in the up-front cost for a comparable unit (in terms of performance). Of course, the average person has no idea what performance is or looks like on paper when they're buying a computer. Second of all, even if they're comparable in performance, they can't be upgraded as much as a desktop can. You can't buy a new video card for a laptop, for example. Third, if your monitor breaks or motherboard fails, you're really in trouble if you're not under warranty. You're looking at minimum $250-500 to replace a monitor or motherboard on a laptop. And that's just parts, not labor.
To answer your question more directly. Desktop computers don't come with monitors because monitors cost money. If they came with the monitor, the cost of the system would have to be higher, no matter what anyone tells you. The LCD is one of the most expensive parts of a computer system. Also, people like the option to NOT have to buy the screen if they already have one. People also like to be able to choose the size of the screen and not be stuck with some pre-packaged or bundled screen. Also, this helps sales people avoid the question "how much will this cost if I don't need the screen." Then the sales person would be stuck having to say "sorry, it comes with the screen, you 'can't' get it without it." That is something no sales person would ever want to have to say. Ten or fifteen years ago, that's kind of how it was as a matter of fact. But back then, most people were making their first computer purchases and didn't have an "extra" monitor sitting at home.
I hope this gives you some insight into the business! Thanks again for educating me with your little bit of consumer mindset. Now I know why people want laptops so much other than the fact "they're so cute." :P
