Q1. Aliya has recently enrolled for a computer software development course and now she will be requiring a laptop in order to study it. She belongs to a middle lower class so the laptop is considered as a luxury for her. Since we all are in a pandemic situation, some classes are going to be online and some physical, hence the need for laptop is critical.

Processor speed needs to be fast since to run software, high processor is required. Following is the criteria that Aliya has set to influence her buying decision 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest score.
