Gotta make a decision matrix like the one in the picture. It's for a recommendation report concerning whether or not to distribute laptops to the CSCE students at my university and what kind of laptop if so.

I need help determining the weights for my matrix, because my personal preferences may not reflect the majority. As a programmer, how would you weigh the following three (very broad) categories?

Power(CPU, GPU, memory, HDD, I/O, etc..)
Quality (Durability, material, aesthetics, etc..)
Comfort(Weight, size, shape, keyboard, screen-eye comfort, OS familiarity, etc..)

Please write an integer 1-10 in the following format:
Power/Quality/Comfort ex: 7/4/9

Thanks, everyone!

    The problem is really that you need another category: "does it fucking work"

    @OfficerHalf I think almost any laptop could "work" as a paper weight or door-stop. For the sake of this post though, let's assume "it fucking works".

    @Benby going to be 100% honest with you, I sort of tl;dr'd your rant, and thought it was about printers, like the table in the picture. Hence, the comment.

    Real talk, for students, 4/6/9. Most of the stuff done at University needs only very low specs.

    @OfficerHalf I guess it was a bit wordy! Thanks for your input.

    For something that goes with me: 6/5/42

    For something that sits on a desk in a dock: 9/1/1

    I agree that comfort is more important than power unless these are design or CS students. 3/6/9

    and a small HD/SSD is enough if it's possible to store profile and workspace data on a network drive
