P4, M2 = Nearly

P4 + M2- James Brooks A very good first attempt, just a few areas to
look at. See below for guidance.

Which Computer?

Introduction

The user requires a personal computer that Is capable of performing general office duties such as
word processing, spreadsheets and databases. The user will also need software and hardware
capable of retrieving and editing digital photographs. He/ she also requires a PC that’s able to display
and create DVDs with sound. The peripherals required by the user is a monitor that does not take up
too much desk space but displays in high quality, an ergonomic mouse and keyboard to prevent RSI,
a high-quality printer capable of printing A3 size prints and a digital image scanner for capturing
images. Finally, the user must have internet access with emailing facilities.

The Laptop- HP Pavilion 15-cw1598sa- £729

 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD

 AMD Ryzen 7 3700U CPU Quad-core 2.1 GHz-3.7 GHz with 6mb cache
 16 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM
 HP audio boost dual speaker system
 3 cell lithium ion battery with 9.5-hour life
 3 USB 3.1 ports and a USB type- C port
 1.85 kg
 HP Wide Vision HD camera
 SD card reader
 Touchscreen
 15.6“LCD Full HD 1920 x 1080p
 Gigabit ethernet port
 Running Windows 10
 Bluetooth 4.2
 3.5 mm headphone jack

I have chosen this type of laptop as the specs meet all the criteria that the user
requires for example he wants a PC that can retrieve and process digital images, he can do this as
the storage on the laptop 512 GB which is enough to store files he retrieves and edits also the RAM
16 GB which is also large enough to support photo editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop
and GIMP. Another example would be that a laptop includes near to all the peripherals needed for
example the laptop comes with a SD card reader and powerful high-quality speakers which means it
is highly portable and the user doesn’t need to buy external peripherals which can save on
spending's.

Processor- AMD Ryzen 7 3700U

 Frequency- 2300 MHz

 Maximum turbo frequency- 4000 MHz
 Microarchitecture- Zen+
 Processor core- Picasso
 Data width- 64 bit
 The number of CPU cores- 4
 The number of threads- 8
 Floating Point Unit- Integrated
 Physical memory- 32 GB
 Multiprocessing- Uniprocessor
 GPU Type: Radeon RX Vega 10
 Shader cores: 640
 Supported memory: DDR4-2400
 Maximum operating temperature- 105°C
 Thermal Design Power- 15 Watt

I have chosen this CPU as it has a built-in graphics unit inside of it which will help aid the user in
his/her need to edit and manipulate graphic images. It also has 4 cores which means essentially the
user can perform 4 different tasks simultaneously such as office duties, graphical picture editing,
emailing and creating DVD files.

Storage- 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD

 Unformatted capacity- 512 GB

 Architecture- Solid State Drive with TLC NAND Flash and PCIE interface

 Bandwidth performance- Sustained Sequential Read: Up to 2600 MB/s

Sustained Sequential Write: Up to 1200 MB/s

 Operating Temperature- 32° to 158° F (0° to 70° C)

I have chosen this storage type as it is a reasonably large amount for the user to store his/her data
such as edited images, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher and Spreadsheet documents all in one area. I
have also chosen this as it is an SSD storage type which is considerably quicker faster at accessing
saved files than standard HDD storage. Also, they are cheaper in the long term for the user as he
won’t need to maintain it as much due to the lack of moving components in an SSD.
P4 + M2- James Brooks

RAM- 16 GB DDR4-2400 SDRAM (2X8 GB)

 Capacity- 16 GB: 2 x 8 GB
 Memory Type- DRAM

I have chosen this memory type as 16 GB is an optimal amount to perform graphical editing along
with other tasks the user requires. Also, the memory uses DDR4 SDRAM which is the fastest RAM
available today which means applications can load much faster meaning higher productivity rates.

up desk space. The monitor is also having a high-resolution meaning picture quality will be sharp
enough to edit images efficiently also the screen has an anti-glare coating to prevent eye strain.

Mouse- Anker Wireless ergonomic mouse- £13.99

 Ergonomic with High Responsiveness

 supports your palm and cradles your thumb and pinky finger. allows smoother movement

user requires can be scanned which is why I have also chosen this scanner.

Adapter- USB C to HDMI adapter- £13.99

 Quality- 4K at 60Hz
 Type- USB C to HDMI
 Length- 10 foot/ 3 M
 Compatibility- Thunderbolt 3 devices

I have chosen this accessory as the user requires the use of a monitor and as the Laptop, I have
chosen doesn’t include any specific audio and visual outputs we need an adapter to transfer visual
data through the laptop’s thunderbolt 3 USB C port. This specific adapter is also a decent length so
that the user can place his/her laptop a reasonable distance from the monitor itself.

 Access Lightroom Photos
 Quickly Share Creations
 Variable Fonts
 Curvature Pen Tool
 Custom Path Colour and Width

efficiently than others like this because you can edit most file types such as raster and vectors and
P4 + M2- James Brooks

you can manipulate the image without losing any quality. Requirement to use this software are as
follows: Intel or AMD processor with 64-bit support; 2 GHz or faster processor. Microsoft Windows 7

 Norton Device Security Entitlement only

 PC or Mac
 Norton AntiVirus Plus covers a single PC or Mac.

software as it come with the ability to run file scans that both find corrupted or infected files as well
and unnecessary duplicates of file which can save storage space in the long run.

Alternatives

Laptop

As an alternative to the HP Pavilion 15- cw1598sa would be the Hp

Envy x360 15.6” which has an AMD Ryzen 7 3700U, Radeon RX VEGA 10 graphics card, 512 GB SSD
Storage, 16 GB DDR4 RAM all similarly to the HP Pavilion.

The difference between the two laptops however would be the price of £999, screen size of 15.6”,
battery life of up to 13 hours, the number of ports, and the dimensions.

Monitor

An alternative to the Dell UltraSharp 25” U2518D monitor would be the HP 24w Full HD 23.8" IPS
LCD Monitor which has an anti-glare coating, Full HD 1080p display, and 2 output ports of VGA and
HDMI. This monitor costs £79.99 which is cheaper than the Sell UltraSharp 25” however it has a
lower resolution of 1920 x 1080.
P4 + M2- James Brooks

Printer

An alternative to the OKI C824n A3 Colour Laser Printer would be the HP Officejet 7110 A3 Inkjet
printer which can store 250 sheets of paper in a sing tray. The printer can also print in A3, A4, A6, B4
(JIS), B5 (JIS), 10 x 15 cm, 13 x 18 cm, Envelope C5, Envelope C6 and Envelope DL. The printer itself is
585mm wide, 189mm high and 419mm deep. The printer also weighs 8.5kg. the printer costs
£110.87 making it cheaper than the laser jet.

Photography Editing

An alternative to Adobe Photoshop would be GIMP which is also a digital photograph editing and
manipulating tool. The difference between the two are that GIMP is free to download, which is a
good factor however the application is not updated as frequently and doesn’t include as many
advanced tools.

System Requirements:

 Intel Pentium IV or faster

 256 MB RAM


Anti-virus

An alternative to Norton 360 would be Total AV which offers similar services and benefits as Norton
however it is cheaper in comparison to Norton. This does add a benefit as you are saving money
 P4 + M2- James Brooks

however Norton does provide more features in its utilities which can provide the user with an easier
way to scan and protect their own device.

System requirements:

 Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or higher with the newest updates, hotfixes, and service
packs installed
 2 GB of RAM or more
 Minimum 1.5 GB of free disk space (additional space for temporary and quarantine files
needed)
 Intel Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon 64 Processor or faster

As the alternative laptop I would recommend has a HDMI port built into it we would not require the
USB C to HDMI adapter which will save on spending.

Alternative Total Price- £1,367.83 and £29.39 per month

In conclusion I have chosen all the hardware and software because I feel it suits all the user’s needs
while staying affordable and maintain a high-quality standard.
