Business Report: Dell XPS 15 Touch PC Recommendation for Office

This report recommends the Dell XPS 15 Touch laptop for an office PC upgrade, addressing the director's specified computer requirements. The recommendation includes five Dell XPS 15 Touch laptops, each capable of handling multiple tasks like video conferencing and audio/video file creation and editing. The report also suggests CenturyLink Business for internet service, providing a modem, NAT Router, and firewall. McAfee Security software and Microsoft Office 365 are also recommended. The report details the hardware specifications of the Dell XPS 15 Touch, including input, output, and communication devices, storage, and system unit components. It also lists the required productivity and system software, along with internet connectivity and web service recommendations.

According to the Director’s specified computer requirements, our office is going
to need new PCs. I recommend the new Dell XPS 15 Touch laptop. With the
Dell XPS 15, each employee’s new laptop will have the capability of multiple
tasks such as videoconference and creating and editing audio and video files.
This is only to name a few of the new features and capabilities.
CenturyLink Business has an affordable yet exceptional internet and web service
plan. The service will provide the Modem and NAT Router so that multiple PCs
will be connected and able to flow information between them. The NAT Router
has an internal firewall for protection. Also, each laptop will have McAfee
Security software for the additional virus protection needed. Microsoft Office 365
will be installed so that employees are able to send and receive emails, manage
calendars, while also creating and sharing documents, spreadsheets, and
presentations. The new Dell XPS 15 comes with many features all of which will
help each employee to better support the needs of the growing office.
