One of the latest hardware technology is Raspberry-Pi. Identify the similarities and differences between these technology with your ideal computer specification.

1. List your ideal desktop or laptop hardware specification as in slide 21-Figure 2.17 and explain why.

explanations
RAM
 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM
RAM is referred as main memory, primary memory or system memory in a computer storage location that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations with DRAM on a memory module. RAM is a volatile memory and requires power in order to keep the data accessible, if the power is lost, all data contained in memory lost. The model of laptop chosen in this particular task is Acer Aspire E1-421-21802G50MN. It uses the latest generation of memory technology, DDR3, which is an evolutionary step beyond DDR2 and operates at lower voltages, consuming less power and can transfer data at rates up to 12.8 GB per second. The memory is suitable enough for students to do their tasks because they do not really need a very big memory of RAM to perform their work.
price
RM 1349
Affordable price for student
Operating system
Windows® 7 Home Basic
1.cheaper
2.faster startup
3.a whole new world of apps
4.SkyDrive integration
5.better security,less-instrusive updates
6.first-class touch input,but still fine with keyboard and mouse.
Magnetic storage
portable hard drive
1.have a very large storage capacity (up to 1TB).They can be used to store vast amounts of data that can be transported from computer to computer.
2.random access devices.it can be used to store all types of films,including huge files such as movies.data access speeds are very fast!
3.data is stored inside a hard-drived on rotating metal or glass discs(called platters)
4.accessed using a USB or similar connection
Microprocessor
1.70 GHz Dual-core (2 Core)
Typically, microprocessors (like the ones found in computers), measure their speed in hertz. A hertz is the measurement of a cycle in a second. So, 10 hertz means 10 cycles per second
To complicate matters further, it is not accurate to say that a higher speed processor is better than another one at a lower speed. Certain AMD processors, for example, run at lower speeds than comparable Intel processors of their family but, because they use different architecture, perform at the same (and, sometimes, higher) performance levels than CPU's with high clock speeds.
The processor speed of this model is 1.70 GHz which is suitable for students as student only do simple task. 
Hard drive capcity
500 GB (gigabytes)
This specification is suitable for the student life style.This is due to the storage is enough for the student to save the important file in large quantity. Simultaneously , students are freely downloading several software which required not to large and to small storage capacity such as AutoCAD.
weight
2.20 kg
Light and can be carry everywhere
