Computer Purchase

INTRODUCTION
I will be using my computer for gaming. I am choosing a laptop though because I would be able to take it anywhere, school, a friends house, etc. But, I would also use it for school since it would be fast enough. For schoolwork, I could have many tabs open at once and it would be running fine. Lastly, if somebody wanted to play video games with me, I could just go to their house and bring my laptop.

SUMMARY: I learned from purchasing this computer that it isnt as easy as you think to buy
a very good computer. You have to have a certain price range, and you have to know all the specifications that can go with your computer/laptop. I also learned a lot about computers in general. I think this will be useful for me because if I need a new computer or laptop in the future I can think back to this assignment while looking for my new computer. Also, I could help someone if they are deciding what type of computer they are going to buy and what they are going to use it for.
