PART 3_20 POINTS: After completing the Table, type at least 250 words (12 size font, double spaced) comparing the three systems and explaining
why you would select one of the systems over the others. Base your reasoning on the computer system’s overall components and not solely on price.
Type your essay below, check for errors, print the entire document, and hand in.
*Be sure to include an introduction, body, comparing components of the three computers, and conclusion.
ANSWER
By comparing the three laptops dell , acer and hp I would like to choose dell.
Dell Laptop Company is not much older than other popular laptop companies, but it became popular and earned more
market value in few years. Dell Company was formed by a person named Michael Dell. It is USA’s computer
hardware company and the headquarter of this company is in Texas. Currently this company manufactures, supports,
and sells Desktop companies, data storage devices, PDAs, servers, laptops, network switches and Mobile phones and
many more products related to technology.
Although  HP  also provides hardware components in their laptops that are similar to the specifications of  Dell  laptops,
HP  is not as good as  Dell  when it comes to quality.  Dell's  processors are faster and more reliable, compared to  HP
laptops with the same specifications
Dell  seem to opt for 3-cell batteries, whereas  Acer  choose a 4-cell, meaning battery life will not be as good with  Dell.
When comparing  laptops  of a similar price range,  Dell laptops  will often provide you with a larger display size. ... The
processors  Dell  use depend on the price range the  laptop  falls in.

So from this we can conclude that DELL laptop are more beneficial due to their lower rates , fast processor and high
durable battery .
