...that capacity? Is a keyboard enough, or should I splurge for the touchpad/keyboard combo? Do you have any that aren’t this heavy? These are all question I heard from consumers who were looking to buy a new laptop. Laptops have become a necessity to many these days. With a technological world that is rapidly expanding, desktops have become out-of-date, and consumers are demanding laptops with grand capabilities fit into a small package. The vast amount of options out there give consumers a variety of options to choose from. Consumers demand different qualities from their laptop whether it is processing, durability, battery life, display, and a variety of other options. This paper will discuss the present displays being used in stores to promote the products, what consumers voice in terms of what they want in a laptop, and primarily what brands can do to further help their sales. For this specific paper, I will be looking at Dell as the targeted brand. Dell was once the dominant presence is the computer industry, but their market share is diminishing constantly. My goal in this research is to determine what Dell is doing wrong if anything, and what they can do with their brand and products to regain their lost market share. The first store I stopped out to see their laptop display was Best Buy. Best Buy is one of the leading electronic stores in the nation, and is on the market as one of the top retailers that consumers shop at for electronics. The clerks there are tech savvy...

This frustrates me a lot and I can relate this to Nielsen Heuristic of error prevention.

...Around Christmas time of last year I purchased an Acer Aspire V515.6-Inch touchscreen laptop in cool steel. Performance: The primary function of the device is to facilitate everyday activities like web browsing, communicating and playing videos. Features: Thanks to its powerful Quad-Core processor everything is more vibrant. It features HD browsing, great visuals on the 15.6" HD touch screen display. Conformance: The fundamental standard for this product would be its ability to provide clear media display along with crisps sound, long battery life and fast browsing. In my opinion this product conformance is within quality standards. Durability: Since my initial purchase my laptop has fallen off the bed several times and still performs with the same quality of its unpacking. Serviceability: Aspire provides a one year limited warranty which provides hardware, software and technical support for that given timeframe extended warranties are available only at an addition cost. Aesthetics: My Aspire touchscreen notebook is very thin less than 1" thin, which is much slimmer than any of my previous laptops. Very sleek and modern with vibrant touch screen display. Perceived Quality: For a long time Acer has had quite suspect perceived quality. But recently Acer has changed and have been paying more attention to quality, this notebook is proof of their efforts that has few complaints against it. This notebook looks well-built and has powerful hardware that is hard...

It has 12 GB of RAM, which is essential for fast processing as video editing, rendering, and recording can put a big strain on a PC with less RAM. The hard drive is also especially important; at 1TB it should give you plenty of room for multiple video files and editing/recording software, as this can potentially take up a large amount of space. Profession 2: DJ The Acer Aspire 2-in-1 may be best for the professional DJ, as this particular profession requires a fair amount of RAM and a good processor for multitasking (running the “mixing” software, inputting multiple commands into said software, recording, etc.). This also requires a large hard drive for the software itself, and hundreds (possibly thousands) of songs. Laptops are also ideal for easy transportation, minimum wire connections (for less clutter). The hybrid HD/SDD is also very useful, as the rapid data access, lesser heat production and reduced power draw on the battery will make the laptop less likely to fail or malfunction under the stressful...

...Purpose I am shopping around for a laptop, printer, and software for the primary purpose of using it for school work and, secondary, entertainment. My goal is to find a laptop that is properly suited for online research, typing (writing software), playing games, and streaming/downloading movies, videos, and music. Therefore, I will need a laptop that has lots of space/memory, can multi-task without lagging, a good video/audio card and speakers, and a fast processor with good amount of RAM. I will therefore be comparing the 3 laptops mainly in those areas. I will also need a printer to print the research papers I type up and other school work such as articles for researching. I found 3 laptops that I will compare in order to determine which of the 3 best suits my needs. All 3 are sold by BestBuy. The first laptop is a Dell Inspiron, which costs $549.99. It has an Intel Dual Core processor with a speed of 3 GHz. It has a 6 GB RAM memory and 4 MB of cache memory. Therefore, these specs show that this laptop is good enough to run multiple (but not too many) programs simultaneously without lagging and perform fast. Furthermore, it has a hard drive disk space of 1 TB, which is sufficient to run the Windows 10 operating system, the software I am interested in (which will be discussed later in the “Software” section), and any word, spreadsheet, or presentation documents I will need to save to the hard drive. Additionally, it will suffice for any videos, movies...
