Computer project

Today Mr. Case talked about a computer in futureshop and why it is cheaper than other computers in futureshop. He talked about why is the parts of a computer inprotant when you are deciding, what computer to buy. The computer is basically, you are a computer consultant and you are suppsoed to sell introduce 3 computers to each client. There has to be a low end computer a computer in the middle and a high end computer for each client, and the clients are a student, a teacher, and a artist. I shoul talk a little about the clients:



Client one: A Student entering high school wants a computer for playing games and doing homework. Thye are interested in music. They don't have a lot of money.



Low End: Has to be chapest of all 3 and be able to listen to music, do his home work and play games, he didn't mention them having to be the latest games or not, so I am assuming games such as Runescape and other free online games because parents wont buy things for the high school students they have to buy things by themselves.



Middle: Still has to be affordable and reasonable, but can be a little better that the low end computers. So the Middle computer has to be faster to do homework, and listen to music. It also has to have better graphics than the low end computer so you can play better games on it not just online games, like chap $10 games.



High End: Still have to be affordable for a student entering high school, but it has to be better in everything from speed to graphics than the medium and low end computers, so in the high end computer you can spend a little more money than the amount you spend in the low and medium end computers.



Client Two: A Teacher who wants a computer for email and arking student work. They don't want to spend any more than they have to.



Low End: Has to be cheap but still be fast enough to email and mark students work. The computer for the teacher may even be cheaper than the computer for the student because the teacher only want a computer for eamiling and marking students work but the student will play games and listen to music so to play games the computer for the student will need a graphic card and speackers which will cost more than a teachers computer because the teacher isn't using it to listen to music or play games, a onboard graphic card will be good enough to watch movies and speakears are not needed so it is cheaper.



Medium: Price should be only a little more expensive, but just a little faster than the low end computer so it could be able to mark students homework a little faster and check emails better. It should still use a onboard graphic card so you can watch things on your tube atlesat.



High End: Price should be most expensive out of the three computers, but alsot it has to be the fastest out of all three computers for the teacher. I could have alot of extras that is not need but the tacher probably wont buy this computer becuase the tacher doesn't want to spend any more money than they have to on a computer so the teacher only wants a basic computer that could meet his/her requirements and is fast enough that they can mark homework and check email, anything extra like a good graphic card on the computer which will make it more expensive so a teacher wouldn't buy it.

Client Three: An artist wants a computer for creating video and photographs. They also want to be able to play the latest games and use the internet for VOIP.

Low End: Even for a low end computer the prices are still high unlike the tacher and the student, this may be due to the fact that the artist needs a more expensive computer because they are using it for work, mainly because he uses the computer to create videos and photographs, and also play the latest video games so a good graphic card is needed and a good graphic card could cost from $400-$1000. Also the artist may want the computer to run more than one programs at once so a Dual core processer or a Quad core processer will be needed.

Midium: Should cost more than the low end computer and have better graphics because the money is usually used in hard drive space, cpu speed and cores, and for someone who uses the computer to design will need to spend more money on the graphic card as well so this should be costly but it should be to expensive

High End: This should be the most expensive but contains the best parts and has alot of advantages over all the computer on this project, the graphic card has to be really good so it either has to be 1 really good graphic card or it could be SLI 2 NVEDIA graphic cards or Crossfire 2 ATI graphic cards to improve the performence and graphics of the computer, but doing this is really "pricie" but if the artist wants really good graphics to play games and create videos and pictures on the computer than high end is the one the artist should buy because it should last the longest out of all the computers for the student, teacher, and artist. Even though the computer is very good but it would be really expensive.

VOIP: Requires a router that supports VOIP and headsets to chat through the internet. the headsets is just used to chat to others, while the router is used to connect the internet to use VOIP. VOIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol.

SATA: SATA stands for Serial ATA. It is a computer bus that transfers data between the computer and the storage device usually the hard drive.

For the project we are allowed to sell a laptop or a desktop.
