Comparison of two computers

The two computers I will be comparing are the Solo 1000 and the ProSentia 3000.  

The ProSentia is slightly more expensive than the solo at £899 than the solo at £589.  

The first computer, the solo, has an AMD Athlon 1000MHz processor but the ProSentia has a Pentium 4 processor 1.4 GHz that is faster than the solo.  The processor is the brains of the computer and carries out the tasks, so a faster computer would suite policies ‘R’ us because all tasks can be carried out quicker.

The solo has a 40Gb hard drive compared to the ProSentia, which has a 20Gb hard drive, the size of the hard drive is important because this stores all of the programs and work files.  

The solo would have more space on it than the ProSentia, this also has a 128 Mb RDRAM which is the same as the solo, the memory isn’t as important because it is only used to run the programs, But Policies ‘R’ us will not need the memory to be to big because there programs wont be to complicated.  

The ProSentia comes complete ...

Here's what a star student thought of this essay

The presentation of the report is quite poor, as it's very difficult to understand which computer is better by reading the report. I would suggest placing all the information into a table, as this would allow the examiner to view the clear differences. In addition, the student is still able to explain in-depth by explaining each aspect below the table.

In addition, to the above, the report is quite basic. For high marks the report would need to explain in-detail what each component is, for example 'An hard drive is an hardware unit which stores computer data, to allow the computer to store and secure information, such as Personal Documents'. This would show that the student has an in-depth understanding of each of the different parts within a computer. The student would need to describe each component in detail, such as the above.

In summary, the report is quite basic. The report does explain the differences between the two computers. However this is laid-out very poorly, and the report doesn't explain each component. The report states how each computer varies and explains what the computer has got and states a little about why this is. This shows the examiner a basic understanding of what each different component is, for example RAM. However the report is quite basic, and these could be improved and developed.
