Buying a Computer
Introduction: The things that I will be using my computer for are to do
homework (research), go on social media websites like Facebook, and
Twitter I will mostly be using my !acBook to work on my homework The
programs I will be using are "ord, #ower#oint, and other work related
programs I will be using my computer when I write essays so I can put on
the word auto correct to fi$ my spelling and grammar errors, and I will be
doing research for pro%ects on my computer as well This will also be my
own personal computer, with only one user account so the computer runs
faster I will also be using my computer to download music on to my phone
because an I!ac downloads music really fast This is because the software
program (&') is really fast
I would like to use my computer for many purposes 'ome of the purposes
include(
Taking photos
)diting photos
*sing the internet to do research for pro%ects
*sing programs under !icrosoft &ffice to complete work
'ocial networking
&ccasionally playing games
!usic downloading
iTunes
I am a large fan of taking and editing photos "hile doing this, I find it
rela$ing because I en%oy doing it &ne of the main features that I would want
is good software to reach the internet I fre+uently use resources like
,oogle to gather information for my pro%ects I would want a fast internet
because I think of myself as an impatient person -uring my free time, I
en%oy playing games, which is why I would want a screen with good pi$el

I am really satisfied with my purchase because my laptop has all my needs
accompanied with it. I have learned a lot from my computer purchase because now I
know what I have to look for in a computer when I go to buy one in the future.
This assignment would be really useful to others because it gets them thinking of
all the parts accompanied with a computer, and lets them know what to look for when
buying a computer. I also learned that it is a complex process to buying a computer
because you need a computer that fulfills all your needs.
The overall price of my purchase is $3,11.!". #y, doing an assignment like this I
now know roughly what the cost would be to buy a computer like this. I also learned the
component parts computers have inside them because before I did not know all the parts
of the computer. The thing that I am most satisfied with through this process is how to do
a bibliography $the easy way.% This made it less stressful for me because the
bibliography process was really easy, and now I have learned something I did not know
how to do before.
&verall, I really en'oyed this computer purchase pro'ect because now I am
more familiar with computers. I now also know how all the parts of a computer (like the
)ard drive* look like.
