 we all choose this spec because this are the latest of the hardware with Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ Quad Core which suitable for anything mostly for gamers more poweful. It also have8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz (2DIMMS) which made the PC faster and it have 500GB of Hard Drive that can store many file in there. It also has many other the latest which is the best for today PC(especially teenager)




2.Select another group for comparing your hardware specification with and justify why your specification is better than the selected group.


  • Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4200 U Processor 1.8 GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.00 GHz (4 MB L3 cache)
  • Memory: 8 GB DDR3 dual-channel memory
  • Storage: 1 TB Hard Drive
  • Display: 13.3" Full HD IPS (1920 x 1080) widescreen LED-backlit display
  • Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 with 128 MB of dedicated system memory; triple independent display support
  • Audio: Two built-in stereo speakers with high-definition audio; Dolby® Advanced Audio® v4 audio
  • Webcam: HD Webcam (1280 x 720)
  • Network: Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 7260, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™
  • Bluetooth®: Bluetooth® 4.0
  • Ports: HDMI®, USB 3.0 (1 with power-off charging), Acer Converter Port (w/ Dongle - VGA, Ethernet & USB 2.0 Port)
  • Card Reader: Secure Digital (SD) card reader
  • 4-cell lithium polymer battery (6280 mAh); up to 7-hour battery life



From my observation when I compare with group 6 I see that our specification are better than group 6.group 6 only use i5 processor which is that i7 more powerful.we use 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 7970M that more powerful than than intel graphic card.the sound more perfect with   Dolby® Home Theater® v4. the screen is 17.3-inch WideFHD 1920 x 1080 60Hz WLED which is more nice and eco. For overall our specification are bettter than group 6 and use the latest technology.



3. One of the latest hardware technology is Raspberry-Pi. Identify the similarities and differences between these technology with your ideal computer specification.



Hardware specifitations:
- SoC Broadcom BCM2835 (CPU, GPU, DSP, and SDRAM)
- CPU: 700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S core (ARM11 family)
- GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV, OpenGL ES 2.0, 1080p30 h.264/MPEG-4 AVC high-profile decoder
- Memory RAM: 512 MB
- Video outputs: Composite RCA, HDMI
- Audio outputs: 3.5 mm jack, HDMI
- Onboard storage: SD, MMC, SDIO card slot
- 10/100 Ethernet RJ45 onboard network
- Wi-Fi with USB dongle
- Storage via SD/ MMC/ SDIO card slot
- 2 USB port
- Power: 1mA at 5V – Many mobile phone chargers are suitable— check the label on the plug.

when compare the specs of the ideal computer that we choose with the Raspberry-pi it has a lot of differences since these are use for a different usage. Raspberri-pi is designed to plug into a TV or HDMI monitor diffferent with computer hardware specs that more to the power,usage and speed of computer. Raspberry-pi have their own usage for example,
  1. PiFace, you can create your own program and control anything around your house like door sensor.
  2. can use internet on your big screen TV
  3. make as a downloading machine
  4. turn into full-featured security penetration testing and auditing platform
  5. can setup as a personal web server
