I am a DT A-Level student and I'm making a dual-purpose laptop case which is also a laptop stand for my project.

Part of my project requires me to get market research on this idea and I would really appreciate anyone who could answer my questionaire and give me any advice.

1)What style/form would you like the laptop case to take?

2)What size would you like it to be?

3)What function would it serve?

4)What performance requirements would you expect from the product?

5)What materials would be best suited for a laptop case?

6)What size laptop would you like it to fit?

7)What transport method would you like the case to have (i.e. strap/handle)?

8)Would you like the case to serve another purpose (e.g. a stand)?

9)What suitable price range would you expect the laptop case to be?

How long do you have to make it? If you have enough time, and think you're up to the task, you might want to do something impressive/unusual. Like making a dual-purpose laptop case that is also a pancake.

marc1878 · 13 Sep 2012 at 15:10

Very Good

Do it, and take pictures. This will encourage people to post genuine responses to your questionnaire.

Here is a quick guide to carrying out market reseach by questionaire.
1) Create an online questionaire
2) share it in a sensible and appropriate forum to get balanced feedback

Under no circumstances what so ever do the following
1) Write a list of generic questions
2) Post them in the general discussion forum of a well know computer hardware forum

Please credit me appropriately in your report.
