My dad lives in California and I’m living in New York. I occasionally visit California to see my dad once or twice in an year. I dearly miss him a lot so I thought I would buy him a desktop computer so that we can chat with each other whenever we wish. A computer is an excellent way to stay in touch with your loved ones. So I wanted to buy a desktop computer equipped with the latest technology and goodies in it like: firewire port, IEEE port, inbuilt video camera, inbuilt microphone, good speakers, cool sound card, excellent graphics card, etc. Also, it shouldn’t be too costly. My dad is not that good at computing so all we need is a simple desktop computer equipped with the latest technology. I already have a HP notebook computer, so I thought of purchasing just one computer system for dad.
As I started searching for the best desktop computers, I read hundreds of reviews online about different computers. I searched through the best computer brands in the US, visited their shopping websites, explored their computers, read reviews, checked and compared computer specifications. I searched through some of the top computer brands like: HP, Dell, Apple, Gateway, Lenovo, Alienware, Sony, Acer, etc., but something interesting, I found the best value for my money at HP Home and Home Office website, if you check below, you will find the top 10 HP desktops that I think would be best to buy. There are many reasons why I prefer buying a HP computer in comparison to other brands like Dell, Apple, Gateway, etc. In my opinion, HP computers are reasonably priced and are not hell expensive like some of the Apple and Sony computers. Also, HP computers are equipped with extra hardware. All these features make their desktops the best in the computer market. I shortlisted these top 10 HP desktops and I’m about to buy one out of these. I guess, it would be great to give a computer to my dad on Father’s Day and these are some of the best computers for Father’s Day. If you are planning to gift a computer to your dad, go with one of the top 5 computers in this list.
