Computer Hardware Specifications

A. Suggest an appropriate computer for each of the following scenarios. You should attach the technical specifications of the computer.

i) Person A works mostly on image editing. He requires the latest Adobe Photoshop software as well as large storage to store a huge collection of digital images. 
= Asus ROG Zephyrus GX550LWS-HF130TS

ii) Person B is a student and is looking for a low-cost computer below RM1500. He just needs the computer for surfing the Internet and doing his assignments by using a free office suite such as Apache Open Office. 
= Asus Laptop 15 A516

iii) Person C wants a small, portable computer to read e-books while on the go.
= Dell Latitude E7270 Touchscreen Ultrabook


B. Fill in the specification of each of the computer components in the following table.



C. Justify your answers for Question A.

i) Asus ROG Zephyrus GX550LWS-HF130TS is very suitable with scenario #1 due to being ideal for editing because it is one of the greatest monitors on the market. It will be powered by a 5.0 GHz Intel Core 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 CPU and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTXTM 3050 Ti graphics card. This high performance allows for faster rendering, working with large files, and multitasking. It also comes with up to 32GB DDR4 RAM and a 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive (SSD), which is more than enough for most modern editing applications. It can also download large files and launch apps more quickly. Saving a thousand photos will not be a problem with 1TB of primary storage. All this power is contained in a body that is only 18mm thick. With a 4K UHD+ monitor, this will provide a seamless editing experience. This laptop, interestingly, provides the longest battery life for a 15.6-inch laptop, lasting up to 25 hours on a single charge. The Asus ROG Zephyrus GX550LWS-HF130TS features a fair selection of connectors, including two Thunderbolt 3, one USB-C 3.1, and a 3.5mm audio jack, despite its thin size. A UHS-II SD card reader is also included for rapid data transfer between devices. There's also a USB-C to USB-A adapter provided. This allows you to easily add additional output devices like speakers, a monitor, and a printer. This laptop can also connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth with ease. As a result, this will be ideal for everyone who used it for editing.


ii) Asus Laptop 15 A516 is very suitable with scenario #2 due to its price affordable. It is capable of performing basic tasks with an Intel Celeron N4020 processor. This computer will not be an issue for a student who only wants to do their assignments and surf the internet because it is designed for individuals who do not need to run heavy software or play large games. It will be suitable for light-hearted games. It has 4 GB of memory, which is sufficient for just opening many tabs in Chrome and working on documents. SSDs consume less energy, allowing computers to run for longer periods of time without needing to be plugged in. Students may need to use their laptop outside campus or may not have access to a plug to charge it. This is because SSDs are faster at accessing data and are idle more frequently than HDDs. It could connect to a Wi-Fi, camera, a microphone, and other devices. This laptop is ideal for students who need to participate in online classes using a variety of platforms, including Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Team.


iii) Dell Latitude E7270 Touchscreen Ultrabook is very suitable with scenario #3 due to being portable oriented and easy to carry anywhere. Dell Latitude E7270 Touchscreen Ultrabook gives a classy look. This is the thinnest Ultrabook ever, at 0.74 inches, making it lightweight about, touchscreen for reading purposes, and read e-books while on the go. Dell Latitude E7270 Touchscreen Ultrabook comes with an 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i5 Processor (4 Cores / 8 Threads, 2.8GHz, up to 4.2GHz with Turbo Boost, 8 MB Cache) and 8 GB of RAM. We can also conduct some of the most demanding computer operations while on the road, including graphic design, video editing, data mining, and more, due to Intelligent Cooling, which allows you to push your CPU to its maximum speed without overheating.

D. Check the specifications of your computer from its operating system (OS) and fill in the following table.



                                                                                                      Written by Arif (AI210125) 😎

Digital Logic Digital computers perform a variety of information processing tasks. Among the basic tasks encountered are the various arithmetic operations. The most basic arithmetic operation is the addition of two binary digits. This simple addition consists of 4 possible operations, they are 0+0=0, 0+1=1, 1+0=1, and 1+1=10. This is called bit adder. Q1. Based on the explanation above, design a circuit for a bit adder. Q2. Test your design in Q (1) using a digital logic simulator. Situation a) 0 + 0 = SUM 0 CARRY 0 Situation b) 0 + 1 = SUM 1 CARRY 0 Situation c) 1 + 0 = SUM 1 CARRY 0 Situation d) 1 + 1 = SUM 0 CARRY 1 Written by Arif (AI210125) 😎
