SUBJECT: FINDINGS ABOUT COSTS OF LAPTOP COMPUTER SYSTEM OPTIONS

Dear Management Team,

I hope you find this email to be helpful in exploring different computer system options. The laptop computer systems

that will be covered in this email will be HP- Intel 15th generation, Dell- Intel 10th generation, and Apple MacBook- Intel

10th generation.

The 15.6 inched HP laptop is the lowest priced at $469.99 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD). The laptop has a

CPU of 4.1 gigahertz, ranging to have the highest clock speed out of all the computers, and a RAM of 8 gigabytes. It

has a prime disk of 256 GB and no optical disk drive. A great pro to consider is the value for money and the low price.

A con to consider is the difficulty for obtaining high-end editing due to the resolution.

The 15.6 inched Dell laptop is the second lowest priced at $549.99 with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD). The

laptop has a CPU of 1 gigahertz, ranging to have the lowest clock speed out of all the computers, and a RAM of 12

gigabytes. It has a prime disk of 256 GB and no optical disk drive. A pro to consider about this computer is the amount

of memory it upholds. Although you should consider that it has a low CPU of 1 gigahertz performing at slower speeds.

The 13.3 inched Apple MacBook laptop is the highest priced at $1,499.99 but, also has the highest resolution of 2560

x 1600 (Retina). The laptop has a CPU of 2 gigahertz and a RAM of 16 gigabytes having the most memory out of all the

computers. It has a prime disk and optical disk drive both at 512 GB, this being the only computer to have one and the

highest- number of gigabytes. This laptop is great for its compatible size and advanced high-quality performances.

Even though this laptop has great qualities, it is valued at a high price. Examining the first pie chart, you’ll see that the

Apple MacBook (yellow) takes up a significant large amount of the chart while the other two are more even in size.
