Conclusion
The required computer should be able to do all the work in the office effectively. As such, I have recommended that the company acquires the latest model of Apple laptops (Mac Book).This advantage is because of its ability to store power and still operate even when there is limited electricity due to a high capacity battery. Besides that the Mac Book Pro 15" has a powerful processor and a RAM that makes working easier, faster and efficient.
Acquisition of a high-resolution camera is essential for the users to take quality photos. A touch pad scanner facsimile will enable the company to scan and print documents and photos. Productivity soft ware's installation in the Mac Book will let the users achieve various objectives like creating databases, manipulating pdf's and even to enable the Mac Book laptops to network with to each other. Internet accessibility is also critical as it makes work with the organization easier as users can research and communicate with each other and the clients.
