Answer 1

### a) Specification/Features Identification

I. **Random Access Memory (RAM)**: 2GB
II. **Hard-Disk Drive (HDD)**: 250GB
III. **Speed**: 2 Gigahertz (GHz)

### b) Recommendation

**No, I would not recommend Kenny to purchase that laptop.**

### c) Reason for the Recommendation

The specifications of the laptop, particularly the 2GB of RAM, are quite low for modern computing needs. This limited RAM may significantly hinder performance, especially when running multiple applications simultaneously, browsing the internet, or using more demanding software, which can lead to a frustrating user experience. For a smoother experience, especially in today's computing environment, at least 8GB of RAM is generally recommended for most users.
