Systems’ Specification
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
INTRODUCTION
The hardware specifications of a computer will vary depending on what
an individual user will be doing with it. A person that wants to use their
computer for graphically intense games or video editing will need a totally
different configuration than somebody that just wants to browse the
Internet and type word documents.
When reviewing a computer specification, the most important
components to take account of are the processor, the amount of RAM
and the size of the hard drive as these are central to the overall
capability of the system. If it is planned to use specialized programs for
students with special needs (e.g., scan/read software), it is advisable to
purchase a suitable specification computer to meet the system
requirements for these programs.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
The specification or ‘spec’ is a list of the key components that make up
the computer. It is provided by retailers to help buyers decide which PC,
and which combination of features, they need. When buying a PC, it is
important to start by deciding what it is you want the PC to do. This then
informs what specification you actually need.

Purchasing Considerations
Consider the following points when purchasing PCs
• What is the intended use of the PC and will the chosen
specification fulfil these aims?
• Is the PC compatible with existing computer equipment and
software?
• Is the technical support service satisfactory?
• A minimum 3 year warranty including next business day (NBD)
onsite, including full parts and labor is recommended
• Will added peripherals be required such as headphones, optical
and mice?
• Easy access of multiple USB ports.
• Operating System licensing options.
