Understanding
Configuration
7th Gen Asus is the new device from the
Asus manufacturers and contains some updated features. The device uses the 5th
generation processor, which is of high performance in execution. However, the
device lacks DVD Drive, where secondary information can be stored (Asus, 2019).
Lack of CDROM means that users will only be relying on USB storage devices if
the HDD drive is full. Also, the touchpad of the device is stiff. New users of
the device might find it hard to use since the design was not
user-centered.
On the other hand, Dell
Inspiron 13.3 is a slim core i7 device with a compact design. The device
contains significant features which are acknowledged by many users in the
technology world. The graphics design of the computer is so high that a user
can make any distinction within a picture or video. The other feature which
distinguishes the two devices is the slimness. The feature makes it easily
portable and can be stored in the least space possible (Tracy, 2019). For the
configuration of the two devices, it will depend on the type of operating
system which is installed. For instance, the Windows OS can be easily
configured in the Dell device than Asus because of its robustness in the
execution of data by the processor.

My comment
The
main reason the school preferred the Dell Inspiron 13.3, i7, 2 computer is
because the manufacturer is known to center the design to its users. Through
the user-centered design, any novice user can comfortably use the device. Since
the Dell machines are all over the market, its accessories can be easily purchased
in case any preventive maintenance is needed (Tracy, 2019). Another possible
reason is because of its processing power. Dell is configured to be a robust
machine which executes a million bits per clock cycle. Through its performance,
the administration can achieve its intended goal quickly as they desire.
