Yes – a lot of links, but a lot of choices and a lot of options. The purpose of this blog post is for you to make a recommendation and justify it.

Imagine you have a roommate who needs to buy a new computer, of some sort, for school. Rusting you, and thinking you actually know what you are talking about – provide this friend a recommendation. Give three options – make sure at least one is a desktop, one a notebook/laptop, and the third can be anything else including, but not limited to: a netbook, tablet, iPad, or even advanced smartphone…

For each of the three options, provide details of the system in the following areas: Processor, memory, storage, display, input connection types and numbers (USB/Firewire/PCMCIA, etc)

Also, make sure to mention which operating system is in use, and be sure to include options for basic applications needed for a student, like what kind of word processor they should have.

In the end – DON'T FORGET TO ACTUALLY SAY WHICH YOU SUGGEST ABOVE THE OTHERS AND WHY!!!
