Buy++a+New+Computer

The Buy a New Computer assignment forced me to evaluate my personal computer usage and then determine my needs. I had recently purchased a computer prior to taking this class and now wish I had done this assessment before my purchase.

This excercise gives me the knowledge of the various parts of the computer and the choices I have. First decision to make is choosing a laptop or desktop. This is determined by usage and needs. Then compare several brands and what they offer as far as hardware such as the operating system, memory, hard drive, keyboard, mouse, modem, etc. along with software, which is applications, codes or instructions for the data entered that makes the hardware work.

In addition to the parts of the computer, I found I needed to understand, at least on a high level, the purpose and function of each component and how it relates to other components. This knowledge equipped me to make an educated decision.
