Meet Anthony Burch! Anthony Burch is a PC gamer who works part time at Game Stop, and he a college student at University of Chicago. Anthony laptop computer’s motherboard (the part of the computer that keep the processor, DVD/CD, memory and hard disk connected) and processor (the brain of the computer) began having major technical difficulties weeks ago and now it has completely crashed! Anthony was going to just buy another motherboard and processor to replace his old ones but he noticed the motherboards for a game PC is about $200-$300 and the processors were between $300 and $1000!! He frankly doesn't have the money to just spend that on to little (but major necessities) parts of his laptop. So now Anthony wants out help from CS Electronics to pick the best computer to replace his old one. His only requirements are that it's good for gaming and it's affordable for a college student.

The Finals Results for Anthony’s Computer For starters the MacBook Air is a computer no college student gamer should ever get! It’s over priced, has 782 GB less than every other computer we are choosing from. The graphics on this device is significantly slower than the rest, BUT the MacBook Air does have a nice processor speed, second to the highest but it does not meet anywhere near the requirements of a good gaming computer, Anthony can really do anything with only 2 USB cords. The second computer Anthony can definitely not purchase for his needs is the HP All-in-One - 24-e035p. Though very affordable the computer cannot meet his needs. This PC has the lowest processor speed, and a RAM size of 4GB. This low RAM size means the computer doesn't respond as fast as it could compared to a PC with 8GB, also Anthony may want to carry his computer around but he cannot with this one. If Anthony wants to remain under $1000 he should get the Dell Inspiron Laptop Computer. This computer has mediocre graphics and the PC responds at an okay rate. It has a 3 USB ports which is a feature that would be helpful to Anthony. The ASUS ROG 15.6 Gaming Laptop Computer would be the perfect PC for Anthony if he wants to spend a little bit under $1500. The graphics on this computer is better than the comparison, the RAM is significantly bigger than the other, it has a lot of USB cords which comes in handy for gamers, and it's a lightweight PC that he can easily go places with. Also the speed of the processor is 2.8GHz which is remarkably faster than the others. All in all if Anthony thinks over $1000 is pricey we believe the Dell Inspiron Laptop Computer is the best choice for him, but over all (minus the price) the ASUS ROG 15.6 Gaming Laptop Computer is great, and we encourage Anthony to purchase this PC.
