Computer Buying Project Reflection

In Computer Apps class we did a project where we had to choose between two computers to buy based on a certain scenario. It was very interesting to learn about the different components of a computer that I never knew about before such as the optical drive. Also it was very interesting to see the differences between two brands of computers. My partner and I researched a Dell computer and a Macbook. The Macbook seemed to be more expensive but had better features while the Dell was more affordable. Although, it was challenging to find some of the required components to the computer, such as the sound drive. I later found that it was not included in the certain computer that I was researching.
