Macbook:
Again Apple products tend o be more expensive than their PC counterparts , an average laptop can start at £500 which is considerably less, so less money can be spent thus not going over budget. Apple tends to cater to the middle- to high-end market, and thus, for those seeking a budget notebook, the cost is a major drawback.. Many programs, from business programs to games, are not available as software on a Mac notebook, the same as with the iMac. While it is possible to run some or all of these Windows-based programs on PC emulators on a Mac, emulators tend to be slow and not without bugs. As a result, PC users tend to have a wider variety of software options than Mac users. Prices range from £1,00.
Apple Magic mouse:
The drawbacks of this product is that the Multi-Touch features work with Macs only.In addition to the fact that the Mouse isn't large enough to fill the natural curve of your hand. The main factor of price coming in at £59 causing a hindrance to the budget at hand.
Canon Camera:
It is quite expensive, has no WiFi or inbuilt geotagging in addition to High colour saturation in tone priority mode, this undesirable for preferred colour tones.
Despite its reduced size, the body is not as small as most compact system cameras because it still has to accommodate the DSLR mirror.
Another point is that the LCD is not articulating and the Dynamic range and high ISO performance isn't as good as some competing models. The camera is limited concerning features. It is an overally limited camera to use , not entirely good for a business that cant afford drawbacks. The price being quite expensive as well.
USB:
There aren't any huge drawbacks of a Sandisk USB apart from the price of £39 and that it can be easily lost if not looked after , meaning a possible loss of important files.
RAM:
A RAM stores easily accessible information but it takes up quite a lot space and the cost is a huge drawback of taking up vasts amounts of space and also the cost is a major disadvantage. The price ranging from the hundreds.
Graphics Card & sound card:
Graphics cards may have glitches due to too much information causing the card to overheat meaning the internal computer will be damaged. They range from £10 to £3,500 depending on the quality of the card and its features of HDMI capability. This is the same with a sound card although if it gets damaged it doesn't allow sound and is expensive to replace.
iMac:
Most computers use a windows operating system,most games and many other software are designed to work with windows. If an iMac-user wants to use these programs, he can buy and install windows on his iMac and alternate between operating systems, but this obviously adds to the expense, this being a drawback as the iMac itself is already a high price, thus making the business profit income plummet. In addition the iMac's components not being user-replaceable makes them even more expensive , this and apples extended warranty is more expensive than any other. The price of the iMac being £1,699. A high price to pay for a new business.
Wacom Graphics tablet:
The disadvantages of the Wacom , is that the current software doesn't copy settings from one application to another , making working around different software difficult to the user. There are also limitations to setting up custom multi-touch gestures , this not being helpful as the designer wont be able to change the way the tablet works with the way he personally prefers to work.
Time Machine:
The downside to the time machine , back up hardware is that he backup doesn't record differences inside a file. It will aso deleted backups according the time schedule for example hourly back ups expire after a day, wheareas daily backups experie after thrity one days.In the worst case all backups can be lost if there is a bug and only save a copy of the most recent back up. Lastly the time machine is only compatible with apple products and to run the destination volume must be larger in size than the boot volume.
Printer:
The cost of a printer causes problems to the user as the cost for specific high quality creates unprofitable income for businesses and other users as the ink will have to be replaced constantly,so that good quality work can be produced.
Branded ink will need to be brought so that the customer will value it more,leading in more cost. Things like paper waste is also apparent ,and contributes in deforestation.
Samsung monitors:
The main defect to the Samsung monitors is that they have been reviewed to have a lot of problems after the first year of owning them , For example the screens sometimes go blank and are easily infected by viruses if not protected correctly.
One limitation that all of the hardware have is the cost. The cost is a hindrance concerning all of these products as they don't allow the buyer to purchase products in large quantities as the individual products are so expensive. Due to he products being so expensive means that the quality is very high. This also means if the hardware malfunctions then the cost to repair it is going to be even more expensive, setting back the business' profits a huge amount.
