My friend has asked me to to help her with puchasing a new pc and also the software and other items that could be usefull. she has gave me information on what she will be using it for and i have came up with a list of products that i think will suit her needs.


PC and Base Unit

I think that this monitor is good because it is HD and is good for using as a computer screen, gaming and just watching TV it has 1920 x 1080 / 60 Hz resolution and it is only £139.99 which is good value. It has a lot of features such as power saving mode and ecolour management which is also good. I would buy this product because it is a reasonable size for a computer and it is good value for money.

This is a PC Pavillion base unit. it has windows 7 home premium and 4GB of memory . It costs £319.97. I have decided to buy this product because it comes with 3 years "what ever happens" support and is good value and has good programmes on it which will benefit my friend.

Data base and spreadsheets

I chose this anti virus package as the system software for a computer because  its only £24.99 and can be used for up to 3 computers and it comes as a disc so it is easy to install which would help people that arnt that good with computers.

This application package is for one windows computer. It includes all the software you need such as word and excel and would be appropriate for my friend as it has all the applications that will be using and more.

This is utility software it can be used on 3 computers and is in English and on a disc although you have to have certain things on your computer for it to work such as 300 MHz or faster processor, 256 MB of RAM, 200 MB of available hard disk space.

   Internet and email

Sky is a service provider and is the top selling throughout the uk. For £5 a month you can have upto 20MB speed and unlimited downloads. there is a contract of 12months which  means you will pay £60 for the year. when you sign up for the package you get a wireless router and free evening and weekend calls, also if you are a sky TV customer you pay only £3.75 per month. i think this is a good deal because of the cheap price and the actualy things that are being offered

talk talk is the second best service provider in the UK. it costs £3.25 per month for the first 6 moths and then it is £6.50 for the other 6 months because it is a 12 month contract. you get 40gb downloads and upto 24Mb speed. also evening and weekend calls.

 I would choose sky because it is the top selling and  the best price and also has better deals.
