Conclusion :

From this assignment , we are able to learn the specifications for laptop and desktop . We also find out that laptop is better than desktop . Generally , laptop are more mobile than desktop . So , we can use laptop everywhere and anytime we want . Besides that , we also able to decide which laptop have the best specifications such as microprocessor , RAM , operating system , hard disk drive and price . Furthermore , we also know about the existence of new device which is Raspberry-Pi . This is the new technology which have almost the same function as laptop and desktop . Raspberry-Pi are more cheaper than laptop and desktop , but the functions are limited . We hope that our research about this assignment will satisfy the specification needed . That's all from us . Thank you :)

We had choose Group 7 to compare our laptop specifications . This is because we observe that our laptop is more convenient than their laptop . The reasons why our laptop specifications are better than their specifications are :

Microprocessor : 

We choose INTEL Core i5 rather than INTEL Core i7 is because , Core i5 is more suitable for students to do their assignments and researches . But , Core i7 is more suitable for gamers and this will distract the students to play games and misuse their laptop for other reasons .


RAM :

Even though our RAM is lower than them . But , we think that 4 GB is already enough for us . We usually use pen drive and hard disc to save our work as they are more portable and mobile . 8 GB is too big and it is a waste if we as a student do not use it necessarily .


Screen Size :

Many people think that smaller size of laptop screen are more convenient as it is more mobile . But , for us , there are many advantages to use the bigger screen size of laptop as we can get the full display quality . 


Operating System :

We choose Windows 8 as the best operating system rather than OS X Mountain Lion . This is because , Windows 8 is the latest version of operating system and widely used around the world . 


Price :

Obviously our laptop price is more valuable and economic . We as a student can't afford to buy the high price of laptop .



Conclusion for our discussion : Question 1

This task is completed by :


  1. AMMIRUL MIRZA BIN ANUAR
  2. NURUL ASYIKIN BINTI ZURAIMI
  3. SHAHIRA BINTI SAMAT


    From our discussion , all of us had agreed to choose laptop rather than desktop . This is because we had find many advantages if we use laptop in our daily life as a student .
