Emily, Robyn, Tarin, Charlotte and Rachel

General Family PC

• On a general family PC you would need software on which you can play games, do homework and watch TV programmes.

• Because of this, your family PC needs to have a relatively big hard drive so that you can store all of this software.

• Also, other things such as the graphics card and CPU need to be more up to date so that you are able to play games and watch TV on it.
