Embodiment Construction

[0016]An online store is one component of an Internet website to which a customer may go to configure a particular information handling system, for example, according to desired options of the customer. The online store is typically a subset of a larger Internet website. At the online store, a customer can select one or more products in which the customer is interested. Upon selection of a particular product, the online store presents the customer with the ability to go to the product information for the particular product, customize the product, price the customized product, purchase the product, and other actions as discussed herein.

Abstract

A configurator is provided with the ability to present to a user how each choice or change to an information handling system would effect the performance of the information handling system for an intended use. More specifically, during an online sales process, the customer is first presented with a list of gaming genres or gaming titles for which the information handling system to be purchased is targeted to use along with a base or recommended configuration. The configuration process proceeds with each discrete choice now presented to the user not only with the price but also with the specific system performance impact of that item, such as showing a Frame Per Second indication. A new set of fields are provided for each item in the configuration database and may be proportional to the number of gaming genres or titles presented to the customer at the first selection screen. As the customer proceeds through the configuration process the total price of the configured information handling system is presented along with the performance data.
