Compare the prices, suitability and storage capacity of a laptop with predetermined specifications and its further customized upgrade done on the dell website www.dell.com.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Dell is considered as the fastest manufacturing company on earth and specializes in computer customization. Connect to Dell’s website www.dell.com and visit the portion that allows you to customize either a laptop or desktop. Choose an already prepared system and compare its CPU speed, RAM size, monitor quality and storage capacity with the customized version of it based on same parameters.
The system under investigation is XPS 1500 touch.
The configurations of the system are listed below.
| Standard | Customized | |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Dell, XPS 15 Touch | Dell, XPS 15 Touch |
| Cost | $1899 | $2159 |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB (cannot be customized) |
| Hard Drive | 256GB(included in price) | 512GB ($200) |
| Operating System | Windows 10 Home, x64 | Windows 10 Pro, x64 ($60) |
The only hardware modification that can be done in the system is in its storage capacity. The customized system is the one that is more preferred by me. As, it comes with the 16GB internal RAM and the extra storage capacity of 256GB with an increased cost of $200. Also, the operative system is upgraded from the standard Windows 10 home to Windows 10 Pro. It is also recommended from the company’s website.
Conclusion:
Customization capability provided by dell on its products is extremely useful from consumer perspective. A single product model can satisfy the needs of large number of customers who have varying requirements in terms of RAM, CPU speed and storage capacity.

The load is supplied at a line voltage of 400 V, 50 Hz. The total active power supplied to the load is measured by the two-wattmeter method. Draw a circuit diagram of the wattmeter connections and calculate their separate readings. Derive any formula used in your calculations. ANS: 13.1 kW, 1.71 kWarrow_forwardThree non-reactive loads are connected in delta across a three-phase, three-wire, 400 V supply in the following way: (i) 10 kW across R and Y lines; (ii) 6 kW across Y and B lines; (iii) 4 kW across B and R lines. Draw a phasor diagram showing the three line voltages and the load currents and determine: (a) the current in the B line and its phase relationship to the line voltage VBR; (b) the reading of a wattmeter whose current coils are connected in the B line and whose voltage circuit is connected across the B and R lines. The phase rotation is R–Y–B. Where would a second wattmeter be connected for the two-wattmeter method and what would be its reading? ANS: 21.8 A, 36°35′ lagging; 7 kW; 13 kWarrow_forward
