To find the mean we will sum the prices (total price, including repeated values) and divide by the total number of computers, then


m=(14\cdot1400+11\cdot800+3\cdot2600+6\cdot1500)/(34)

Using a calculator


\begin{gathered} m=(45200)/(34) \\ \end{gathered}

Do the division (use a calculator)


\begin{gathered} m=(45200)/(34) \\ \\ m=1329.41 \end{gathered}

The mean price is 1329.41
