Person 1: Jason is a 18 year old college student. He likes playing games on his computer and is into virtual reality. He saved up his money to get the Vive. He has a laptop he currently uses for school but he wants a computer at home that can support his gaming and VR habits.

Person 2: Doris is a 90 year old grandmother with 8 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. She wants to be able to use that Skype Chat Thing (as she calls it), in order to talk with her grandchildren and great grandchildren on a weekly basis. But right now her computer is from 2000 and only runs Word Perfect. Her daughter finally convinced her to get a new computer and promised to set it up for her. Doris keeps telling you she doesn’t need anything fancy just the Skype thing, please.

Person 3: Alex is a graphic designer who is frustrated with bringing home his work laptop, it is heavy and doesn’t run the programs he needs fast enough. He wants a light laptop that can handle the Adobe programs that seem to use a lot of memory. He also wants this for the most reasonable price if possible. He finds spending over $1200 for a computer to be insane.
