The county public library has grown in the past five years with fifthteen locations and increase to four hundred employees. Their customer base is about fifty thousand and has over five hundred thousand books, magazines, videos, and CDs. The leaders of this organization requested my advice on what computers and hardware they should purchase. So giving the information that I needed I realized they need about fifty computers for each location, twenty five for employees and twenty five for customers.

The Toshiba LLX835-D3310 is an All in One PC that has an Intel Core i3-3110M 2.4Ghz processor with a 64 bit Dual core. It has six gigabyte (GB) of memory with a one terabyte (TB) hard disk drive (HDD) for storage and a DVD-RW for the optical drive. It is also equipped with a wireless card that has an 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN for internet access. The Toshiba has an Intel HD 2500 graphics card with integrated video which gives a High Definition (HD) display on its twenty three inch monitor. It weighs about fifthteen pounds and it is Bluetooth capable and has a wireless mouse and a USB keyboard. (Newegg, 2013)

The Lenovo C440 is also an All in One PC that has an Intel Pentium G2030 3.0Ghz processor with a 64 bit Dual core. It has a four GB of memory with one TB HDD for storage and DVD-RW for the optical drive. The Lenovo also has a HD Graphics card...
