Question

There are many different computer peripherals that are available to optimize your computing system’s specific needs. A graphic designer may need a different setup than a programmer. A student might need different tools than a gamer. With new peripheral devices being invented and created every day, you’ll need to be able to do a bit of research to find out which tools are necessary for your computing system. This includes evaluating each tool and making sure it is within your budget as well.

Research a personalized peripheral device (not the standard mouse, keyboard, etc) that could be beneficial for each person listed below. Include why you suggest the peripheral and include its cost (if it is known).

Jamal is a graphic designer.
Felicia is a computer programmer.
Credence is a student in college.

Answer 1

Jamal could use a drawing pad. He could draw things out with a stylus and have it on his PC to manipulate. They cost as little as $40.

Felicia could use a mechanical keyboard. Although these are better for nearly everyone, someone who is doing a lot of typing and needing both speed and accuracy should get one. They start at around $50.

Credence could use a printer to print out work to hand in when needed. A decent one starts at around $100.
