Omega Laptops Case Study

Omega Laptops

I created this case study after I completed my first practical UI/UX course in Figma. I took my course projects and applied the Design Thinking principles I’m learning in my courses at the Interaction Design Foundation.

Overview

Brief

This brief was automatically generated for my initial project.

Persona

After generating my brief, I created a persona that met the characteristics and parameters of the description.

About the Company

Omega provides individuals and businesses with professional laptops that are custom made for their needs and the many roles of diverse teams.

Key Questions

  • How can we demonstrate to young professionals that they will benefit from laptops tailored to their specific job?
  • How can we appeal to team leads and managers like John the value of purchasing custom professional laptops that will meet the needs of the varying roles on his diverse team?

Empathize

Research

Once I had my persona, I began to do some basic searches into laptops that young professionals were using and looking for in their work computers. I started with some websites and blogs that ranked laptops and what they offered. I then began to comb through forums to find out what young professionals in various positions valued.

Here is what users mentioned:

  • Price
  • Hardware
  • Battery Life
  • Aesthetics & Design
  • Web Cam
  • Durability
  • Screen Size & Resolution

Interviews

I also reached out to three friends who are young professionals working remotely in different fields. I did this because John’s team will have members who have different needs. The three roles were:

  • Product Implementation Specialist
  • Developer
  • Senior Data Analyst

After completing my research and conducting my interviews, I prioritized the needs and potential problems for John and his remote team.
