Comparing Computers
Abstract

The computers that were chosen are the Dell Inspiron One Desktop, Lenovo’s M29p Small Desktop and HP Pavilion p6-2120. They were chosen because there all basic family computers that you would see in a typical family household. During this time certain items shall be focused on such as price and processor speed.

Unit 4 Comparing Computers

The three computers that I chose to compare are from Dell and there New Inspiron One 23 All-in-One Desktop, Lenovo’s M92p Small Desktop and HP Pavilion p6-2120. I’m going to compare most of the important components of the computers ranging from processor speed to size of the hard drives and also will be making comparisons of the different prices and how they might fair against each other.

Inspiron One 23 All in One Desktop Starting with the price on this Dell New Inspiron One it is priced at $649 which overall isn’t a horrible price for the components which are included in this desktop. The operating system on this machine that comes with it is the Windows 8 64 bit overall what I know about Windows 8 is that it belongs on a smartphone and not a desktop computer. Although this desktop has the option for a touch screen monitor it all depends as what your planning on doing with it as to whether or not you want to spend the extra $150 on the package. The processor is an i7-3770s (3.90 GHz) will help and allow you to multitask more items and at a faster rate without any sort of slowdowns. The 8GB of DDR3 ram is in there and will provide you with stability as in you won’t have to add more ram into your system to help speed up some processes. It contains a 1TB hard drive for storage of all your pictures, videos and other programs that you choose to install. The major downside of this system is the integrated video and sound cards as they tend not to last as long as purchasing a semi-decent to higher end card. It also includes a wireless mouse and keyboard which if I was suggesting I would purchase a wired

    The Mac book Pro will give you more performance than you will know what to do with. If you are looking for a computer that is fast a lightening (literally), then there is no other option I have been having my laptop for about three years now, and it runs just like the first day I got it. Now that is amazing, thanks to Mac’s Intel Core i5 processor! Considering PC’s like to crash on you are run slower than your grandmother walks after the first year of ownership. Its extra long battery life of up to 7.5 hours is excellent, because wants the point of having a portable computer if you have to keep it plugged in all the time. It defeats the purpose and you might as well buy a desktop. The hardware on the Mac is built to last, and if you need a buddy you can rely on, I wouldn’t choose any other option, but this laptop.…

    The author’s purpose for 'A&P' is; to inform that there is a limit to how we should go to help others. The author’s purpose for 'My Brother’s Keeper' is also; There is a limit someone should go to help others, even if that person means a lot to you. The author’s purpose of A&P is very similar to my brother’s keeper only because there is a limit to helping others especially depending on how drastic the situation is. I personally wouldn't have wanted to help Ted even if he was my brother because he's going against my own values & well eventually Ted needs to grow up. Both audiences of the stories are teenagers because eventually you have to start to grow up & take responsibility for your actions. Whereas Ted depended on his brother to help him out. Sammy made a stupid decision by quitting for some girls, when he knows his parents need that extra money that he's making. The significance of both titles are very different because most of the A&P story takes place in the A&P. In My brother’s keeper, that title has nothing t do with the setting it almost just tells what happens in the story and not about where it takes place. Ted and Sammy are very similar because they both made bad decisions, but Ted is rich, he can support himself but Sammy needs to work just to support his family’s needs. The manager of The A&P and Uncle Harry are very similar too because there both just trying to support and do what’s best for Jamie & Sammy. Quennie relates a lot to Carmody because they both think there better than everyone else and there big snobs. The settings of both stories are very different; in My brother’s keeper they have 3 settings (Carmody's Office, Court & Uncle Harry's house). In the A&P only takes place in the A&P. The time zone however is about the same i think they both take place around the 1960-1965's. The story in general is almost the same because Sammy, Ted & Jamie all do something that they'll regret.…
