What is the 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.

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.

Specifications are a means of ensuring equipment and installation compliance with governing
standards.
