1. List your ideal desktop or laptop hardware specification as in slide 21-Figure 2.17 and explain why.

Our ideal laptop is :

Sony VAIO Pro 13 Ultrabook

The laptop's specifications :

Processor	4th gen Intel® Core™ i7-4500U (1.80GHz / 3.00GHz3 with Turbo Boost)
Operating System	Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
RAM	8GB (8GB fixed onboard x1) DDR3L-1600MHz
Monitor	13.3" LED backlit Full HD IPS TRILUMINOS for Mobile touch display (1920 x 1080)
Storage	512GB (512GB x1) solid state drive
Graphics	Intel® HD Graphics 4400

1) The processor used is the latest processor in the market. The operation will become faster.

2) The OS used is also the latest system so far (the upgrade-version of Windows 8). It delivers all the benefits of Windows 8, plus new levels of productivity, security, and mobility, all without sacrificing performance or choice.

3) The 8GB RAM will increase speed, performance, the number of applications that can be run at the same time, and the ability to open increasingly larger files.

4) The all-new TRILUMINOS Display for Mobile technology creates incredibly true, natural shades of color for more satisfaction than other displays.

5) SSD is chosen instead of HDD because an SSD-equipped laptop/PC will boot in seconds, certainly under a minute.

6) Graphics equipped in the system is really satisfying.
