Recommendations Desktop or laptop? • I would recommend the Acer laptop for university students. • A laptop is better than a desktop. This allows students to carry their laptop to classes. 5 Quantitative Reasons • Dual Processor • Built in Stereo Speakers [2.0 W] • Built in web camera and microphone • Memory Types: SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD • Display Screen: 15.6“ 5 Qualitative Reasons • Acer is relatively a good brand. • The laptop has the fundamental necessities in a computer required for an University student. • The Acer Laptop has a fair price. Realistically, the price is right in the ball park for students. This is something they can ACTUALLY afford. • The Acer Laptop comes in two colours: black or white. • If for some reason, if the laptop crashes, there is a one year warranty on its manufacturing parts and hardware. However the department store does not cover any physical damages.
