Summary You are a growing publishing company in need of new personal computers. We understand your need to perform tasks such as creating books and magazines. There are many choices when it comes to purchasing a new personal computer (PC), and we have handpicked one system that we feel will meet your current and future needs while keeping to your budget. We will explain why we chose this particular system, and the reasons for each component within the system. These new PCs will assure your continued success and growth of your business. They will allow you to complete tasks without needing to worry about problems associated with aging systems. Analysis We want to provide you with PC systems that will allow your company to work efficiently and thrive. Our process for selecting the correct system to match your needs focuses on five main areas: case form factor, type of processor required, size of hard drive, included warranty, and total price. There are many different choices in desktop computer form factors; each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Towers have plenty of space for components, but can be bulky. Small form factor cases are less bulky, but there is not as much space inside for extra components. All-in-one systems are compact and reduce desktop clutter because there are not as many wired hookups, but offer the least amount of space for adding internal components. There are also a number of different types of processors available. We recommend using Intel, mainly the i3, i5, or i7 processors. The appropriate processor will be chosen based on how your system will be used. We also considered whether a dedicated graphics card would be beneficial for your needs.

Most computer technicians argue that Intels are some of the best on the market for both budget and performance, however, there are others that are just as good. The following is a list of some of the best CPUs currently available. Bourgie (2014) writes that in addition to Intel, that Vishera is a quality brand and Kaveri also (p.1). Consumers should look at various websites and consumer reviews to determine the best CPU to purchase and to also understand as much as possible the most compatible with their system. Weighing the pros and cons is recommended in all instances, particularly because of the fact that CPUs can be quite

BBS Computing is located in Greece New York It is a Computer Sales, Service center that also does some Networking systems. Paul Saussa, Ron Bess and John Bonacci are both owners and employees of the business. It is a relatively small business that mainly does computer sales and repair with some occasional networking jobs. The actual business consists of a show room and a workshop. The showroom has different models of computers that customers can have built to buy. There are 4 different types depending on a customer’s budget for a computer. The low-end models consisting of a Pentium III processor and 256 Mb of RAM and the basic keyboard, mouse, monitor, printer, and speakers, and the high-end models consisting of a Pentium 4 processor or equivalent with 256 or more Mb of DDR RAM and premium speakers, keyboard, mouse, printer and monitor. Thus, meaning you get what you pay for. The display models allow you to show a customer some of the features of the different types of computer systems that are offered. Such things as operating systems such as Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, and also programs like Nero for CD burners, All-in-Wonder TV tuner cards and applications such as Microsoft Office. This was my first opportunity to work with Windows XP.

Historically the personal computer (PC) industry has sold its products at reasonably high prices yet garnered only small profit margins. One reason for this is the high competition in the PC industry which led to competitive pricing among producers. Analyzing the competitive environment of the PC industry, it is evident that there is very little barrier to entry in this market. PC's have very low physical uniqueness and are made of standard components that require very little expertise to assemble.
...ctioned, communicated, and performed their daily activities. In doing this however, they must stay on top of other competitors by creating new innovative ways to attract the consumers. Some had a long history while others had a short one. Some were provided great feature while others didn’t do so well in this area. One thing is for certain, each operating system provided a use for many consumers that helped not only in the personal lives of many but also within the business world. As we see the history shows that once upon a time what began as a way to for businesses to operate has now turned into a way that people communicate. Technology continues to grow and advance and with that waiting to see what the future holds is a mystery but I’m certain that it will be world of amazement especially seeing where operating systems have come from to where they are currently.

The first area that I want to cover is CPUs. This diagram above shows a comparison for different file server CPUs. The major reason or question behind getting a CPU for a file server is, “What is the CPU going to be doing?” This means that the CPU must be able to handle whatever the server is processing. Another question a business should ask is, “What price are we willing to pay?” A files server needs to be able to keep up with the tasks that are going to
My report is on the company Hewlett – Packard (HP) which was founded in 1939. I mainly focused on the Personal Systems Group (PSG): business and consumers PCs mobile computing devices and workstations which is one of the major industries of HP. In order to succeed in the business industry a company needs to understand its customer’s needs and create wants for them. HP found out that the customer needed light weight, useful notebook PCs through its Research & Development (R&D) centre. Hence, it created a want; a New Commercial Notebook PC Compaq Evo Notebook N1015v which packs the power and performance necessary for mobility into a stylish design for only $899(US $). HP also finds out about its customer needs through online feedback forms and survey. Via that, HP was also able to understand that not everyone are able to use their products hence it has created this HP accessibility products which can be accessed by anyone including people with disabilities and age – limitations. Example of such product under the PSG industry is the Mobile Speak Pocket which was specially made for the visually impaired people. ( Refer To Exhibit 1a – 1c )
Linux has long been one of many operating systems that have been out to prove its worth in all types of environment. It is currently being considered for enterprise network purposes as well as data centers where it implies servers, workstations and any mainframes as needed. Choosing what operating system to use, whether it is open source or not, can be difficult, though. This paper projects the advantages and concerns of choosing an open source solution like Linux as administrators and users are becoming more aware of Linux running on both server and desktop systems. It is quickly being adopted in an ever increasing number of global corporations and government agencies.

The PC industry is highly competitive and constantly changing as technology evolves and customer needs change. Some of the top competitors in the PC industry are IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Apple. Theses rivals are constantly jockeying for the top competitor’s position. They compete in prices, product innovation, advertising, etc.
The computer evolution has been an amazing one. There have been astonishing achievements in the computer industry, which dates back almost 2000 years. The earliest existence of the computer dates back to the first century, but the electronic computer has only been around for over a half-century. Throughout the last 40 years computers have changed drastically. They have greatly impacted the American lifestyle. A computer can be found in nearly every business and one out of every two households (Hall, 156). Our Society relies critically on computers for almost all of their daily operations and processes. Only once in a lifetime will a new invention like the computer come about.
After perusing the isles amongst isles of desktop computers at CompUSA I found myself drawn to the Sony desktops. SONY is a high quality brand name and has shown me throughout the years that anything and everything they create seems to be a winner. Eventually I decided to get one that was practical in size and powerful enough to handle the most strenuous projects. I ended up decide ding on the Sony VAIO RA834G Minitower. The components in this PC were more than I needed for a price I just couldn’t resist.
