Buying a New PC New personal computers are widely available directly from manufacturers, as well as in retail, computer, electronic, and warehouse stores. Some stores carry only standard configurations as set up by the manufacturers; others allow you to customize a system. For this assignment, assume that you are in the market for a new personal computer. Give some thought to the type of computer (such as desktop, notebook, or tablet computer) that best fits your lifestyle and the tasks you wish to perform (such as the application programs you wish to use, how many programs you wish to use at one time, and how fast you desire the response time to be). Make a list of your hardware and software requirements (refer to the “Guide to Buying a PC” in the References and Resources Guide at the end of this book, if needed), being as specific as possible. By researching newspaper/online ads, manufacturer Web sites, and/or systems for sale at local stores, find three systems that meet your minimum requirements. 

Prepare a one-page comparison chart, listing each requirement and how each system meets or exceeds it. Also include any additional features each system has, and information regarding the brand, price, delivery time, shipping, sales tax, and warranty for each system. 

On your comparison sheet, mark the system that you would prefer to buy and write one paragraph explaining why.
