UNIT 2 M2

Suggest an alternative system to the one for p4.
Make direct comparisons whether that be cost or the quality of the system.
Conclude by making a decision on which system should be purchased and why.



Apple Macs can be a difficult operating system to get the hang of unless you use them frequently, if you are not comfortable with using an Apple Mac then a Windows PC maybe for you. As well as that you need to decide what make and model you would like to have and also how you want your computer to run. And most importantly how much money are you willing to pay for it. 
For a Windows operating system I am recommending the HP Pavillion 500-319 Desktop PC with a 23xi Full HD 23" IPS LED Monitor.

Conclusion

Cost: The monitor and the desktop come are a joint purchase and costs £699.99. The graphics tablet costs £299.99 and comes together for £1000 which is cheaper than the Apple product as that is £1,800.
Recommendation: My recommendation depends on what you are looking. If you are looking for a good quality PC but still able to run the basic programs and devices I would recommend the HP Pavillion PC. 
However if you are looking for a PC that produces high quality work then I would recommend an Apple Mac. 
It supports all software that you may want to install on your system and also has more than enough room in storage space to store your work as well as run all of the necessary programs.
