Comparison of different laptops

1. Laptop comparison between Microsoft, Apple and Chrome BY: ocean and  tom

2. Background Information Regarding Laptops The first ever made portable computer was the  Portal R2E CCMC  However, most experts think that the first portable computer was the  Osborne 1, because it had a screen. The main difference between laptops and a tablet with a keyboard is that most laptops run on  desktop operating systems unlike tablets, which run on mobile operating systems.

3. Background Information Regarding Companies The market is dominated by six manufacturers: Lenovo, HP, Dell, Apple, ASUS, and Acer. About 60% of the entire market is owned by the top 3 companies.

4. Raw data Here I picked the top 3 latest Chromebook, MacBook, and Microsoft laptops. And the features I was looking for was how big the display, processor, graphics card, battery, storage, ram, price, touchscreen and ports.

5. Main Objectives for Laptops The whole point of a laptop is it to be a portable personal computer. As well as how well it can connect with other devices, how well it can function during work or play, and price. It should also be convenient to use and hook up with other devices.

6. MacBook Pro 14" Laptop Display -  3024 x 1964 pixels (good) Processor - Apple M3 Pro (very good) Graphics card - Apple M3 Pro 14-core (very good) Battery time – 12-18 hours (good depending on usage) Total storage – 512 gigabytes (good) RAM – 18 gigabytes (very good) Price – 2 thousand US dollars (not good) Connectivity -  SDXC, thunderbolt 4, HDMI, MagSafe ,  and headphone jack (lots of connection)

10. Final Ranking The MacBook wins hands down...IF you have the cash to pay for it. If you have a personal PC already, and just need one on the go, to like somewhere nearby, school, work, etc. The Acer Chromebook would work perfectly as a cheap portable device to use. However, if you move often from place to place, the Microsoft laptop would work well as a sub for your PC when you are on the go and do not want to pay a lot of cash. These are the final rankings AND extra remarks we wanted to add
