Assignment 5-1 Weekly Written Analysis 5

I did my weekly Written Analysis 5 on a new netbook from Samsung. I was checking into buying a new netbook and ran into this one. I think it is a great because it is small, has great battery life, huge amount of memory space, has a wireless card built in, and Bluetooth to take care of any of your pictures. The main thing that I need for when I go places it something small. I have a laptop right know, but it is too big to carry around. This netbook is on 2.9 pounds and the lightest in its class. The netbook has a batter life of 8 hours. My laptop only has about 2 hours on the battery, which the netbook would be a Hugh difference. I am on the internet often when I am away and most of the time I cannot find an outlet to charge my laptop, so being connect up to 8 hours will make a huge difference. The netbook also comes with 160GB hard disk drive which is a lot bigger than my laptop. I have around 80GB on my laptop and spent over 1000$ for it. The price varies depending on what you want for software. The price that I see it start at was 520$ which is a huge difference that I paid on my laptop. So from my opinion I believe this would be the best one from what I have seen.
Then I had to look at the reviews to see what people is comment about. The pros in the reviews were that it was a great size to carry around. The netbook is very small and has a huge amount of memory space. Memory space is very important because of speed and what you want to save. Some people like to save a good amount of pictures, songs, or even stuff on the internet, so space is really important. The reviews showed that some people like the fact that it has a battery life of 8 hours. A lot of different netbooks and laptops do not have a good battery life, so 8 hours is a huge difference. People can stay on the internet a lot longer without having to worry about the battery dying out. The price is around the same for the other netbooks, but it does make a difference on what you are actually getting. I feel from reading all the reviews and looking at the different features of the netbook, I should go with the netbook NC1014GB.

Assignment 4-1 Weekly Written Analysis 4

This week’s analysis I decided to go with the Xbox 360 compared to the Playstation 3. I had an xbox 360 about for about 1year and love the selection. The Xbox 360 has a big selection of games that I can choose from. Also the price was not bad compare to the Playstation 3. The graphs are great and I like the action that most of the games have.
On the website some of the cons about have the Xbox 360 were game selection, price, bigger network, and better controllers. The game selection is huge and it is just getting bigger. Some of the games on the X-box 360 are Timeshift, Rainbow six Vegas, Army of two, Gears of War and that is just a few good ones to me. The system cost is lower than the Playstation 3. It does cost around 50$ a year to play online, but it does have a bigger network and good technical support. You can report different issue if people are bothering you on-line and the technical support has the power to take them off-line. One of the cons is that they do a year fee of 50$ to play online.
The Playstation 3 also has some good features. Some of the good things are that there is no fee to play online. You do get to play Blue-Ray movies which have great quality pictures and graphics. The Playstation 3 has some great games like Killzone 2 and Grand Theft Auto 5. You can get up to 120GB for the hard drive which is a big amount of memory. Some of the cons was that there is not a big selection of games right know. The Playstation 3 system does cost a good amount compared to the X-box.
From the information that I received from other people and myself, I would say the X-box 360 would be the better system to go with. I would rather pay a lower amount for movie. The cost of blue-ray movies is way too expensive for me when I can watch the same movie for a cheaper price. The main reason why I have the X-box 360 is to play games and not movies.
