6. Creating A Technology Product Brochure

Use advanced formatting to include text and images that encourages someone to purchase a computer.

When purchasing any technology product, there are many different choices. Computers, for example, come in different sizes, work at different speeds, hold various amounts of memory, have different features and perform multiple tasks. As a consumer, you should compare and contrast several different products before making a purchase. It is important to know about the various features of a product to determine which product best meets your needs.

For this project you will use the Internet to research the features of two computers. You may want to compare a laptop with a desktop or one brand with another brand.
