You will need to research the purchase of 50 new PCs, with the requirement to replace all existing desktops with laptops. Your recommendation must account for multiple external monitors, additional peripherals via USB 3.0, physical security mechanisms, and the capability to allow the end user to quickly disconnect from the office environment. 

You will complete the project in two sections:

In Section 1, you will conduct research based on the Corporate PC Refresh Documentation. You should carefully document any assumptions made (e.g., how you analyzed the requirement for upgrading monitors, peripherals devices, etc.). 

In Section 2, you will use a configurator to detail the specifications you will provide your recommended device model(s) 

Follow the instructions in the Desktop Migration Proposal Template to get started.

I have attached two files. need to complete both of them.

1)  Discussion Question — assignment.docx

2) Need to response to classmates discussion. For more info refer attached need to response.docx

This assignment is intended for you to put into practice what you have
read about in this chapter. Specifically, the objective is to enable you to
define usability and user experience goals and to transform these and
other design principles into specific questions to help evaluate an
interactive product.
Find an everyday handheld device, e.g. remote control, digital camera,
smartphone, Apple watch and examine how it has been designed, paying particular
attention to how the user is meant to interact with it.
a. From your first impressions, write down what first comes to mind as
to what is good and bad about the way the device works.
b. Give a description of the user experience resulting from interacting
with it.
c. Based on your reading of this chapter and any other material you
have come across, compile a set of usability and user experience
goals that you think will be most relevant in evaluating the device.
Decide which are the most important ones and explain why.
d. Translate each of your sets of usability and user experience goals
into two or three specific questions. Then use them to assess how
well your device fares.
e. Repeat (c) and (d) but this time using the design principles outlined in
the chapter.
f. Finally, discuss possible improvements to the interface based on the
answers obtained for (d) and (e).

1. Open the SierraPacific-02.xlsx start file. If the workbook opens in Protected View, click the Enable Editing button so you can modify it. The file will be renamed automatically to include your name. Change the project file name if directed to do so by your instructor, and save it.
2. Set range names for the workbook.
   1. Select the Student Loan sheet, and select cells B5:C8.
   2. Click the Create from Selection button [Formulas tab, Defined Names group].
   3. Verify that the Left column box in the Create Names from Selection dialog box is selected.
   4. Deselect the Top row box if it is checked and click OK.
   5. Select cells E5:F7. Repeat steps a−d to create range names.
   6. Click the Name Manager button [Formulas tab, Defined Names group] to view the names in the Name Manager dialog box (Figure 2-90). Notice that the cell references are absolute.Figure 2-90 Name Manager dialog box
   7. Click Close.
3. Enter a PMT function.
   1. Select C8.
   2. Click the Financial button [Formulas tab, Function Library group] and select PMT.
   3. Click the Rate box and click cell C7. The range name Rate is substituted and is an absolute reference.
   4. Type /12 immediately after Rate to divide by 12 for monthly payments.
   5. Click the Nper box and click cell C6. The substituted range name is Loan_Term.
   6. Type *12 after Loan_Term to multiply by 12.
   7. Click the Pv box and type a minus sign (–) to set the argument as a negative amount.
   8. Click cell C5 (Loan_Amount) for the pv argument. A negative loan amount reflects the lender’s perspective, since the money is paid out now (Figure 2-91).Figure 2-91 Pv argument is negative in the PMT function
   9. Leave the Fv and Type boxes empty.
   10. Click OK. The payment for a loan at this rate is $186.43, shown as a positive value.
   11. Verify or format cell C8 as Accounting Number Format to match cell C5.
4. Create a total interest formula.
   1. Click cell F5 (Total_Interest). This value is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the total number of payments to determine total outlay. From this amount, you subtract the loan amount.
   2. Type = and click cell C8 (the Payment).
   3. Type * to multiply and click cell C6 (Loan_Term).
   4. Type *12 to multiply by 12 for monthly payments. Values typed in a formula are constants and are absolute references.
   5. Type – immediately after *12 to subtract.
   6. Click cell C5 (the Loan_Amount). The formula is Payment * Loan_Term * 12 – Loan_Amount. Parentheses are not required, because the multiplications are done from left to right, followed by the subtraction (Figure 2-92).Figure 2-92 Left-to-right operations
   7. Press Enter. The result is $1,185.81.
5. Create the total principal formula and the total loan cost.
   1. Select cell F6 (Total_Principal). This value is calculated by multiplying the monthly payment by the total number of payments. From this amount, subtract the total interest.
   2. Type = and click cell C8 (the Payment).
   3. Type * to multiply and click cell C6 (Loan_Term).
   4. Type *12 to multiply by 12 for monthly payments.
   5. Type – immediately after *12 to subtract.
   6. Click cell F5 (the Total_Interest). The formula is Payment * Loan_Term * 12 – Total_Interest.
   7. Press Enter. Total principal is the amount of the loan.
   8. Click cell F7, the Total_Cost of the loan. This is the total principal plus the total interest.
   9. Type =, click cell F5, type +, click cell F6, and then press Enter.
6. Set order of mathematical operations to build an amortization schedule.
   1. Click cell B13. The beginning balance is the loan amount.
   2. Type =, click cell C5, and press Enter.
   3. Format the value as Accounting Number Format.
   4. Select cell C13. The interest for each payment is calculated by multiplying the balance in column B by the rate divided by 12.
   5. Type = and click cell B13.
   6. Type *( and click cell C7.
   7. Type /12). Parentheses are necessary so that the division is done first (Figure 2-93).Figure 2-93 The interest formula
   8. Press Enter and format the results (37.5) as Accounting Number Format.
   9. Select cell D13. The portion of the payment that is applied to the principal is calculated by subtracting the interest portion from the payment.
   10. Type =, click cell C8 (the Payment).
   11. Type –, click cell C13, and press Enter. From the first month’s payment, $148.93 is applied to the principal and $37.50 is interest.
   12. Click cell E13. The total payment is the interest portion plus the principal portion.
   13. Type =, click cell C13, type +, click cell D13, and then press Enter. The value matches the amount in cell C8.
   14. Select cell F13. The ending balance is the beginning balance minus the principal payment. The interest is part of the cost of the loan.
   15. Type =, click cell B13, type –, click cell D13, and then press Enter. The ending balance is $9,851.07.
   16. The image includes rows 13 through 28 and then rows 60 through72 after you complete Step 7g.Formulas in cells B13:F13B13=Loan_AmountC13=B13*(Rate/12)D13=Payment-C13E13=C13+D13F13=B13-D13
