List of ideal desktop or laptop hardware specification and the explaination.

  • Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4200 U Processor 1.8 GHz with Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.00 GHz (4 MB L3 cache)
  • Memory: 8 GB DDR3 dual-channel memory
  • Storage: 1 TB Hard Drive
  • Display: 13.3" Full HD IPS (1920 x 1080) widescreen LED-backlit display
  • Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 with 128 MB of dedicated system memory; triple independent display support
  • Audio: Two built-in stereo speakers with high-definition audio; Dolby® Advanced Audio® v4 audio
  • Webcam: HD Webcam (1280 x 720)
  • Network: Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 7260, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™
  • Bluetooth®: Bluetooth® 4.0
  • Ports: HDMI®, USB 3.0 (1 with power-off charging), Acer Converter Port (w/ Dongle - VGA, Ethernet & USB 2.0 Port)
  • Card Reader: Secure Digital (SD) card reader
  • 4-cell lithium polymer battery (6280 mAh); up to 7-hour battery life

Members of Group 6 from Physical 2 choose these specification as it will give good performance to the laptop that have all of the specifications in it. The processor is fast enough for all kind of user, although Intel® Core™ i7 is faster but the processor with the speed  of 1.8 GHz able to boost up to 3.00 GHz with the help of the Turbo Boost Technology. With the 8 GB DDR3 dual-channel memory, the laptop will always be prepared for high-end applications and lots of multitasking. The 1 TB hard drive will give a lot of space for the user to store a lot of applications, documents and files. 13.3" Full HD IPS with 1920 x 1080 screen resoluion and LED-backlit display will give a better display with a wider and bigger screen.  Intel® HD Graphics 4400 with 128 MB of dedicated system memory and also triple independent display support, will provide better perfomance when it comes to the most-demanding games and give better view when watching movie. Two built-in stereo speakers with high-definition audio which are Dolby® Advanced Audio® v4 audio will give better sound to the user when playing games, watch movies nor listening to songs. HD Webcam with 1280 x 720 resolution will provide better record while having video call nor video recording. Although, the Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 7260, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ was not the best product and the latest product in the market but it able to provide good enough perfomance when the user use internet. The sending nor receiving data through bluetooth will be faster as it use Bluetooth® 4.0. HDMI®, Secure Digital (SD) card reader, USB 3.0 (1 with power-off charging), Acer Converter Port (w/ Dongle - VGA, Ethernet & USB 2.0 Port) will help the user easier to send and receive data through many ways. Lastly, 4-cell lithium polymer battery (6280 mAh) which can stand up to 7-hour battery life will provide long enough energy for the user to do their work.



One of the latest hardware technology is Raspberry-Pi. The similarities and differences between these technology with your ideal computer specification.

Raspberry-Pi specification:
- SoC Broadcom BCM2835 (CPU, GPU, DSP, and SDRAM)
- CPU: 700 MHz ARM1176JZF-S core (ARM11 family)
- GPU: Broadcom VideoCore IV, OpenGL ES 2.0, 1080p30 h.264/MPEG-4 AVC high-profile decoder
- Memory RAM: 512 MB
- Video outputs: Composite RCA, HDMI
- Audio outputs: 3.5 mm jack, HDMI
- Onboard storage: SD, MMC, SDIO card slot
- 10/100 Ethernet RJ45 onboard network
- Wi-Fi with USB dongle
- Storage via SD/ MMC/ SDIO card slot
- 2 USB port
- Power: 1mA at 5V

The similarities between the technology of Raspberry-Pi and my list of ideal computer specification are: (both have)

-processor
-ram and storage
-video and audio output
-USB port
-SD card reader
-HDMI port
-power supply


There are many difference between the Raspberry-Pi and my ideal computer specifications.The Raspberry-Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. Raspberry-Pi only able to give low perfomance for low-end applications and less task than computer. Raspberry-Pi also does not have webcam, speakers, bluetooth, converter port, screen, batteries, and a lot more.





Group that we had choosed to be compare with our specification.

After I had compare our ideal computer specification with Group 4 from Physical 2, i realize that their ideal computer specification are better than ours. We just use i5 processor meanwhile they are using i7 which is more powerful.They have choosed 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 7970M that more powerful than than intel graphic card.The sound more perfect with   Dolby® Home Theater® v4. the screen is 17.3-inch WideFHD 1920 x 1080 60Hz WLED which is more nice and eco. Lastly, they have better computer than us.
