Comparing Computers

ABSTRACT

Computers are one of the most popular kinds of electronic devices in the world today. Whether kid or adult, male or female, everyone wants to learn how to operate the computer. People use computers for different purposes such as typing papers, creating websites, making presentations, browsing on the internet. As consumers we compare prices to see what price is reasonable. Computers have changed a lot since being invented. The programs, models and features have also evolved over time. The prices vary as models change. We as consumers rely on computers to perform our daily tasks. And having a reliable computer is very important. At first impulse we are more inclined to purchase the cheapest one or one that suits our needs. In this paper I will explain the difference between the reliability, power and price of three different computers.

Consumers find it difficult today in deciding what kind of computer to purchase. They may seem the same but are totally different. The purpose of this paper is to compare the differences between three computers and the terms of their reliability, price and power. We all know that all computers come with a mouse, speakers and a key board. Performance of these computers has great differences. The apple computer is capable of having better components that can handle better graphics. It is suitable for hardcore gaming. All the components of a computer are much better for the desktop computer. On the other hand, a Dell has its limits. Even though it can handle some computer games, it cannot handle hardcore games which are new releases. Its battery is also limited and easily overheats in just a short time unlike the Hewlett Packard computer which does not overheat easily unless you keep it turned on for a very long time - about three days without turning it off if placed in a well-ventilated place. Maintenance is a great factor in choosing what type of computer you will go for. An Apple computer is easy to customize. You can easily choose what brand or how powerful each component is. On the other hand, a Dell is always sold as a whole. It is also difficult to upgrade. You will need to use your USB port if you want to upgrade its hard drive and it is annoying to have it outside of your notebook. If a Dell is damaged, you will need to replace it as a whole and you are lucky if it is still under warranty. But if a Hewlett Packard computer gets damaged, you can just replace the parts of it that have been damaged. Another factor in choosing computer is its cost. The only downside in purchasing a computer is that it consumes energy. Apple has a more net profit margin they have a profit margin of 20% while its competitors have a measly 5%. This is Apple's integrated product offerings include big software and service component. Software and services
