I know everyone has a desktop computer right? How about a laptop? These days, both are considered not really mobile anymore, even for a laptop. They prefer to have ipads or other tablets to carry around instead of laptops in a bag.

Have you ever wondered how small a computer be? Don’t be surprised if I tell you that a powerful CPU can be made from less than 10cm x 10 cm motherboard? Still don’t believe it. It’s what we called COM or computer on module. Basically what makes COM really small is the board is being stripped down and uses the most up to date connectors and by removing old or legacy connections such as serial, ps/2 and PCI slots. Not only that, the board already has integrated LAN ports, RAM and graphic card chips. Complicated yet beautifully crafted boards are the key for COM.

For an example, COM Express™ basic is one best computer on module in the market. The latest model of COM Express can support dual core i3/i5/i7 from Intel along with Intel high definition audio on board, support for gigabit ethernet and integrated display support that boasts Intel HD3000/2000 chipset with 3D Blu-ray support. Don’t say you are not tempted with the idea of a personal desktop computer that can be put into a bag or replacing your current audio setup in your car for your in car entertainment?

If you’re thinking to upgrade to iPhone 5, this will help you through your decision.

If you’re asking the same question as me..I’d say go for it if you have the money. Priced at the same as original Ipad one last time..this look like a sweet deal. And also, if you think the original ipad is worth the steal now since it’s cheaper than ipad 2 now, just watch the promo video below.

If you’re not an apple fan boy like me, you’ll agree with me that you’ll be starting to fell in love with iPad 2.

Everybody knows the external computer parts like monitors, keyboards, mouse and the central processing unit or CPU. But do you know what’s inside the CPU? Here’s a quick introduction to the computer parts.

Basically if you open the CPU casing, you will see a large piece of board and a power supply. That’s what we call the motherboard or mainboard for some people. On this very board, we will place our graphic cards, processor, heat sinks, RAM and all other addon cards. Most of today’s motherboards will have everything pretty much embedded on it like network connection chipset, sound card chipset and wireless chipset.

There’s another part where you will see a row of slots that is used to extend the functionality of your motherboard. Older motherboards have PCI and AGP slots. Nowadays, the technology allows use to use PCI-express slots and compact PCI (cpci) slots for almost everything.

Some motherboards have built in graphic cards. This is enough to run your operating system like Microsoft Windows. But if you need to play a graphic extensive games, you probably need a dedicated graphic card. These days, you might need to purchase one that can be plugged to the PCI-express slot. Older computers will most likely use the AGP slot. And yes, I still have a perfectly running computer that uses the AGP slot but it’s just for surfing the net. It can’t possible be used to play any recent games anymore.
