Good afternoon, For this discussion, I chose the enhanced computer research with a $3,500 budget. To: Manager From: Student Subject: Enhanced Computer Purchase Date: November 16, 2022 Good afternoon, Per your request, I have provided research results for a laptop computer for an employee with the following requirements: sufficient speed and memory, sufficient RAM and hard disk space, largest affordable screen and the ability to run Microsoft Office along with complex graphic/animation development ability. The budget for this purchase was $3500 and while there were many candidates, I have provided information of two below that I believe would work well. MSI Laptop Creator Z17 ($3,479) Newegg.com Process or Intel Core i7 12th Gen 12700H (2.30GHz) Software/OS Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Memory 32GB DDR5 (Expandable to 64GB) Manufacturer MSI Hard Drive/SS D 2 TB NVMe SSD Dimensions/ Weight 15.04" x 10.24" x 0.75"//6.9 lbs. Optical Drive N/A Screen 17.0" Touchscreen/Resolution: 25 60 x 1600
Battery 4 cell (90Whr) Li- Polymer Graphics NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Laptop GPU ASUS ROG Strix 17 SE 17.3 Platinum ($3,299) MicroCenter.com Process or Intel Core i9 12th Gen 12950HX 2.3GHz Software/OS Windows 11 Pro Memory 64GB DDR5 (Max) Manufacturer ASUS Hard Drive/SS D 2 TB SSD NVMe M.2 Dimensions/ Weight 15.55" x 11.10" x 0.92"//6.8 lbs. Optical Drive N/A Screen 17.3" Anti-Glare/Resolution: 2560 x1440 Battery 4-Cell Lithium-Ion Graphics NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080Ti 16GB Based on the research, my recommendation would be the purchase of the MSI Creator Z17 . While this laptop stretches the budget to the full amount, it has features available to assist the developer in their graphic design needs. With a large 17" screen, expandable RAM, 2 TB SSD, and a high-end graphics card, this will be more than efficient to complete both daily basic tasks and more strenuous processing. Another plus to this set-up is the touchscreen availability can be paired with an MSI Active Pen to free hand design and allowing for more flexible creativity. Neither recommendation have optical drives which should not be a deterrence under the consideration there are more than enough Type-A/C USBs available for data transfer and backup.
