To help our employees choose their computer, please prepare a pamphlet that we can distribute to interested employees. Your pamphlet should be user friendly, colorful, and easy to read and convey sufficient information to simplify the task of purchasing a computer. Your pamphlet can be as many pages as necessary and should be prepared on an 8.5 x 11 (regular size) page.
