Assume you wish to purchase a computer system but must spend no more than $1300. You are to use an online service to personally configure 2 different brands of computer systems so that you can compare them before making a decision. The minimum specifications include the following: 2.00 GHz CPU (processor) 2G RAM CD RW-ROM, DVD, or combination 17" flat panel monitor 250 G hard drive Graphics/video card Modem &/or network card Multimedia sound system & sound card Memory Stick (flash drive)
You may add any other features (even a printer) or increase the above specs as you wish, as long as the final price is no more than $1300. Create a spreadsheet similar to the one shown below listing all the features of the 2 computers you are comparing.
The addresses of some sites you may access include: Dell (www.dell.com), Gateway (www.gateway.com), Hewlett-Packard (www.hp.com). You may choose any other site that you like, but you must choose a new computer, not used. You can select components separately and add the cost together.
Make sure that your name is in the spreadsheet. 20% of the grade will be based on how professional the spreadsheet looks – including the use of a variety of features of Excel.
