Dell, Hp, and Toshiba laptops are a few of the names known in the computer world. To choose the right brand of computer to satisfy your needs have always been the main point in the selection. Factors such as the amounts in memory and the longevity of battery life play a role when picking your computer. With a narrow focus on the needs for students, the factors to consider are the weight of the laptop; battery life; specifications; and price (Bloglines.com). Keeping these factors in mind during the selection process will help you find the ideal notebook. Laptops prove that it is useful to students in its convenience to conduct research, type projects, and relay messages to classmates quickly and efficiently through social networking. For example, informing a classmate about a major project. The information on this project sent via E-mail makes it more efficient than to explain over the telephone. With much consideration, a new recommendation made to students is the HP Pavilion dv4 laptop. This laptop completed with its software bundle and long-lasting battery proves a useful asset to students during their school year due to its performance, its features, and its price. This gives students the incentive to purchase this product. The HP Pavilion has great specifications. It is completed with a four Gigabyte (GB) Random Access Memory (RAM), a 250GB+ hard drive, a great memory card, a High Definition-Multimedia Interface (HDMI) port, a Video Graphics Array port, a laptop extension, a eSATA port, three USBs, a removable optical drive (lightscribe), and a built-in webcam just to name a few. These specifications will give it an optimal performance. Along with these specifications, with its speed of 5400 revolutions per minu... ... middle of paper ... ...kes it heavier to carry around, therefore creating a less portable laptop. Compared to the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960, the HP dv4-1465dx has a longer battery life. Although this is so, the Toshiba has a higher performance and is more expensive than the HP dv-1546dx. Further, the touchpad is another disadvantage. Its long, narrow size does not allow enough space for navigation. Its mirrored surface is shiny and becomes easily susceptible to smudges made from fingerprints. Consequently, the advantages for this HP laptop prevail over the disadvantages. This is a recommended laptop, based on the above evaluation, for college students. To receive a progressive laptop for a reasonable price, not forgetting the included software package and its battery life is an immense deal for one who is thinking economically. For that reason, this is the computer for you.
Information retrieval could be expanded to the two alternative products: Samsung and Galaxy Nexus. Therefore, as a part of my decision-making process, I would have to use the evaluative criteria, which refers to the products, the recognition of its functions, features, attributes, and benefits of use. The features and characteristics that best meet my needs would be design, price, size, color, durability, life of the battery, service, etc. For example, Apple has long been practiced using a bunch of aluminum and glass through which almost all of their products look great. In addition, aluminum is very practical and does not show fingerprints. Galaxy Nexus has the smallest screen size. The tablet can be ideal companion for watching video and reading books. Samsung tab has the best size and weight to all comparable models. All of the suppliers of the tablets provide with a maintenance services, returned-goods policies, financing and many other services for the
As a young college student walking into a Best Buy to purchase a laptop for college can be a little intimidating. There are many things to consider such as hard drive, what processors are the best, which screen has the best resolution, or would you rather build a computer that best suits you. The options are endless and in most cases it can become overwhelming, due to the rapid expansion in technology a variety of products that are available have increased dramatically in the past 7 years. Some of the most important criteria that should be considered when evaluating these products are portability, performance, and price. The MacBook Air is an interesting product, because it isn’t top of the line in any of these criteria. In fact, it has a balance of all three that have made it one of the top selling products of recent. Of course no laptop is made to run the same, but that is what makes this specific different than others.
In conclusion, HP’s entry into the tablet market by producing the Touchpad tablet was expected to shake up this market and rival iPad. However, the success of this project was hindered by performance lags, poor choice of apps, and cumbersome design of the device. In addition, Hewlett-Packard did not generate expected sales of the device because of these shortcomings and poor pricing strategy.
The first objective I would like to evaluate is the portability of MacBook Pros. The MacBook weighs less than 4 lbs, which makes it a very ideal laptop to carry around campus in a backpack. It is also very thin which is perfect to slide into your backpack without having to take anything out. Although the Pros sister computer, the MacBook Air is even lighter and thinner which is more ideal for a person who carries their Mac everywhere they go. I chose the Pro because it was looking for performance, which leads me to my next topic, speed.
If a student can do their work as fast as a computer, then they don’t need the computer, it is better for them to work it out by themselves.

...ucial part in our everyday lives. Yes, students can choose a MacBook Pro or Air over a PC, even a Chrome Book, but for students looking for budget-friendly computers (trust me, there's thousands of them) I bet you that they will choose a Windows 8 or Windows 7 laptop.

The computer processor is the brain of the system. Our client requires a heavy punch, multi tasking brain. Due to his low income and student status, he does not have a large budget to put towards his computer. The AMD AthlonXP 1900 was chosen because of it's low cost and it's higher performance rating than that of the higher priced equivalent Pentium 4. The AMD AthlonXP 1900's speed is 1.6GHz. This means 1600Hz, which is a very fast processor. Amazingly, the clock speed of this processor is faster, albeit barely, than the Pentium 4 2.0GHz processor, and is much cheaper as well. This is important, as, for less cash, our student can afford a better processor.
The development of technology in this country has been significant to the daily lives of Americans today. In the twenty-first century, one of the greatest accomplishments of technology is the use of laptops. People, such as students, are facing the fact that laptops have made their lives easier. Some colleges and universities have allowed that each student bring their personal laptops with internet connectivity to class while others believe they easily weaken the learning abilities of students instead of promoting and increasing learning in the classroom. Although personal laptops in the classroom have numerous advantages, there have also been frequent complaints from professors because laptops hinder with learning, and as a result should be banned from bringing them into the classroom since laptops can easily distract students, not every student can afford purchasing a laptop, and would prevent students from cheating or plagiarizing.
By the time a student is in middle school he or she should be able to use software tools such as word processing , data bases, spreadsheets, and telecommunications. But the computer can be used for so much more. The computer can be used as a tutor or for research on any topic. As a tutor, the comput...
This particular computer also intrigued me because of its processor. The processor is a common one, an Intel Pentium 4. I like that Sony decided to stick with Intel, since they are an American brand. The exact processor they used is the Intel Pentium 4 3.6Ghz 560J with HT Technology. The Hyper threading technology is very helpful and I’m glad they decided to use it because it really makes multi-tasking even with complex software faster and more efficient and significantly cuts down on the lag. The 3.6 Gigahertz processor is very very fast and can handle even the most multifaceted functions. The bus speed is also very impressive coming out with a total of 800 solid Megahertz’s. This is an extremely fast bus speed considering it only has one successor the 1066 Mhz speed.
Today, it is so clear to see many significant changes in the education around the world because of computer. Almost all schools and universities have become involved with computer’s system to provide an appropriate environment for students to study or prepare for classes. For example, Oklahoma State University provides a crucial program called Desire to Learn (D2L) which is an online website made for teachers to post assignments, grades, and other notes related to the courses. And this program is so helpful because it gives students a nice chance to study from home, participate on announced events, or even avoid students from getting in trouble such as receiving email when weather conditions are not good to attend classes. Moreover, in the past students and researchers used to face difficulties to get information and data related to subject. However, nowadays computer makes it easier because of the gigantic data and information that computer has. Computer has a revolutionary influence in enhancing our education.
The computer has progressed in many ways, but the most important improvement is the speed and operating capabilities. It was only around 6 years ago when a 386 DX2 processor was the fastest and most powerful CPU in the market. This processor could do a plethora of small tasks and still not be working to hard. Around 2-3 years ago, the Pentium came out, paving the way for new and faster computers. Intel was the most proficient in this area and came out with a range of processors from 66 MHz-166 Mhz. These processors are also now starting to become obsolete. Todays computers come equipped with 400-600 Mhz processors that can multi-task at an alarming rate. Intel has just started the release phase of it’s new Pentium III-800MHz processor. Glenn Henry is
