====== chapter 3 ======

John really wants a gaming computer, so the first thing he’s going to do is ask for information. The first person he asks is Alan, who is the best programmer in his class. He told John that Mac has developed the  most useful design system and the most beautiful web page design; it’s free to upgrade; and most importantly, it can be paired with other Apple products. John thinks it sounds reasonable. His dad is using a Mac too; since that day, when he saw anyone using a Mac, he would get some advice from them. 

One day his best friend Ray can’t stand it any more. He tells John that he needs to get some advice from another computer user. He hears that if you want to play games on a laptop, it’s better to use a PC. At first, John didn’t want to listen, but under his repeated persuasion, he asked Max, a slacker student who plays PC all the time, what’s some advantage about PCs. He told him that PC users have the option to choose from a wide array of motherboards, processors, storage drives, graphics cards, sound cards, and memory. This enables PC users to customize their hardware setup or easily and quickly upgrade existing equipment. He also tells Josh that Macs ban a lot of games, so it’s better to play games on PC. 

After listening to both Alan and Max, John decides to target getting a PC for his gaming needs. John chose a PC because Max said it's better for gaming and you can pick different parts for it. John likes that idea because he wants more choices for his gaming stuff.
