Hewlett-Packard in a garage in Palo Alto, California. It was mostly used in military/government and universities/science lab. It took 40+ years for the first personal computer to be created by IBM (1981). The first personal computer (PC) ran on a 4.77 Mhz Intel 8088 microprocessor [1]. After that computer world has advanced leap and bound, hardware as well as software. Some of the laptops today run on a 4.0 Ghz (almost 1000 times more powerful). According to US census, in 2012, 80% of all house hold had

Performance to Cost Ratio: AMD vs. Intel United in the race to revolutionize the way computers drive our era, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Integrated Electronics (Intel) stand as beacons in the ever changing mist of intuition and unmeasured evolution. No matter whether you choose AMD or Intel the question at hand never changes, “What quality for what price?” Quality and expense derive the fundamental balance of performance at a reasonable price. The performance to cost ratio, even though

field. Windows 7 Professional is the operating system that I use now and would be my operating system of choice for your organization. Next, I’m looking for the processor and memory, which could bring the price up dramatically. Going with the 3rd Gen. Intel Core i7-3520M Processor and 8GB DDR3 could bring the price up $500 alone, which I would highly recommend paying for. For business purposes, I don’t find the size of the screen or the video card to be that big of a factor. That being said, I would go
