Computer & Printer Comparison
Our Group was tasked with the project of developing a proposal for the purchase of five (5) new computers and a network color printer. The spreadsheet information was derived from information gathered by group members and from direct buy internet companies. The minimum criteria for each proposal are listed in its respective section. The computers were selected using as close to same components as possible for easy comparison. The printers were selected based on the estimated usage per computer, per day. Key comparison items looked at in this category were print speed in both color and black, printer memory and if it was expandable and processor speed. Once the group had begun looking into the best printer for the operation, we noticed supplies would be an additional key factor in the purchase of the printer. Again to provide ease in comparison, supplies were factored to print an estimated 250 pages per day over 250 days per year, (5200 + pages monthly; 62,500 pages annually). Spreadsheets on both proposals are listed as appendix 1 Computers and appendix 2 printers.* Pentium 4 Processor w/ 2 GHz speed
The print speed color and black were 12 ppm. 99 and has the second highest estimated supply cost. HP Business Inkjet 3000The 3000's base price of $849. The 88 MB of printer memory is upgradeable to 344 MB and the printer has a 160 MHz processor. No sales tax is charged on the purchase of this system, but there is a $90 shipping fee. At 16 ppm black and 4 ppm color, this printer has the slowest average speed in the comparison. That coupled with the highest estimated supply cost, which made the 3500n the most expensive of the printers, of the compared printers, to operate. Individual differences will be listed in the explanation of each computer. The Presario came standard with the Pentium 4 processor and with 2. The 31 ppm black is the highest in the comparison, but the 8 ppm color is second to the last. The positive would be potentially an increase in service techs in the area. Compaq was recently purchased by HP which could be beneficial or detrimental to the buyer of a Compaq computer.
