  • Use the Internet to research the make and model of one (1) laser printer and one (1) inkjet printer that are similarly priced. Be prepared to discuss the performance, features, and retail cost of each

From the first e-Activity, identify the specific manufacture and model of one (1) magnetic disk, one (1) solid state drive, and one (1) optical drive. Evaluate the quality of each in terms of read and write speeds, access methods, storage capacity, longevity, and price. Recommend the device that would be the best suited for a home environment and the device that would be best suited for a business environment. Provide a rationale for your response.

• From the second e-Activity, identify the make and model of one (1) laser printer and one (1) inkjet printer that are similarly priced. Evaluate the quality of each in terms of print speed (i.e., pages per minute), resolution (i.e., dots per inch), memory, color capability, duplex printing capability, cartridge price, cartridge printing capacity, and longevity. Next, recommend the printer that would be the best suited for a home environment and the printer that would be the best suited for a business environment. Provide a rationale for your response.
