The old saying about “you get what you pay for” holds true all the more when it comes to reliable long term use office equipment. It does no good to save a few hundred or few thousand and then lose ten times as much in revenue due to a failed computer, printer, or worse a critical peripheral device storing valuable data. Do your research, invest in the best and forgo future headaches and losses!
