Computer System: Base Configuration, Form Factor

•What general solution or form factor do you need? What size and shape of a computer do you need? Dell and HP both list options like Laptop & Mini or Desktops & All-in-Ones. And once you get to each area of the site, you have more choices: laptop, netbook, desktop, tablet etc. Which best meets your computing needs and why?

•Once you've decided on the form factor, the question focuses on what class of machine. What sort of laptop? Dell has Inspiron, Studio, Studio XPS, Alienware, Adamo. HP has Everyday Computing, High Performance and Envy. Similarly, the netbooks and desktops have different classes of machines as well. Explore into each and get a feel for which class meets your needs. Once you have an idea, explain why you selected the class of machine that meets your needs? How and why does it do so?

•Looking within the class of machine, you'll find several base models from which you can choose. For example, on Dell.com, within the Studio and Studio XPS class of laptops, Dell offers the Studio 14, Studio 15, Studio 17, and Studio XPS 16. Which of the base models in the class you chose best meets your computing needs? Why?


Well i would have to say a Dell 15 inch laptop. The reason why i say that is because i like the entertainment listing to music playing games and downloading music and it is mobile and it can work just like a PC.With the Inspiron model it is capabilities and dont cost that much (i.e. processor, RAM, hard drive) to make this model perform even more efficient.
When i was searching for a computer i have to chose the deel XPS 16 because i like to donwload music and watch movies and listen to Itunes and school. I think that this well be enough computer for me.
