Dream Computer Build

$3469.22

Dream Computer

Alienware Mx17

($1500)

What I Have now Acer

Aspire 5517 ($299)

My views on a decent

Computer for a

decent price

Summary Slide 9

After I went through and finished adding up all of my totals, the total

price for my computer build was $3469.22

That’s almost a whopping $3500.00….For $3500.00, that’s like a couple of games at Gamestop, a brand new netbook or tablet, an

used car or car payment and a trip to the bank to put the rest in my

account.

I maybe wrong, but we may have too much technology. Some

technology is being replaced or is simply being put out of

production because most of the newer products can do their

functions plus more. I think that maybe in a few years we will see a decline in technological devices we have now, although I could be

wrong.
