It’s not always that you get your desktop as a complete unit and sometimes you will get it as a number of components and you will then have to assemble and install it together and you will have to assemble and install it step by step following specific instructions. There are a few things you will need to have before getting started for example anti-static wrist strap, a piece of cloth, set of screwdrivers and pliers, PC components, CPU Thermal compound.

Step 1: Install the motherboard

The first step is to install the motherboard, you have to take particular at this stage and ensure that the all the components are clean and that you have a big work area to work with.

You will have to put your antic-static wrist strap on to avoid your components from getting affected. Clean your hands before you start.

Step 2: Installing the power supply

The power supply is the second item that has to be installed into the computer, installing the power supply is very simple all you have to do is place the PSU into the cabinet and screw it in tightly.

Step 3: Installing the video card

The video card is the next item into the computer, you need to find a good video card as there are continuously being improved and you don’t want to be stuck with a card that is redundant.

Step 4: Installing the hard disk

The hard disk is one of the most important components of the computer and you will have to practice care when handling it. Installing the hard drive is not that difficult all you have to do is place it into the bay, screw it in tightly, connect it to the PSU with a power cable and connect it to the motherboard via a data cable.

Step 5: Installing the optical drive

The optical drive is next to go in and to install it you just simply follow the same instructions as that of installing the hard drive.

Step 6: Connecting the computers various cables

At this stage all that is left is to connect the computer various cables and to do that you have to
1. The ATX power connector on the PSU has to be connected to the power supply port on your motherboard.

2. The power, reset button has to be connected to the right port on the motherboard.

3. Connect the cable from the USB/audio panel to the motherboard.

4. Connect the cables for the cabinet fans

After this you will have to close the cabinet and screw it in tightly, having done this you would have finished installing the internal components and all that will be left would be to connect the external components of the computer together, these include the monitor, keyboard, mouse, CPU, this is a fairly easy process since you will have guideline on the computer manual. Once you are through with this then you can switch on your computer and start using it.

I believe everyone among us would prefer to have a laptop computer rather than a traditional home based desktop pc. If you ask me what makes a laptop computer a better option than regular desktop computer, it’s the mobility it offers and uncountable advantages that comes along with usage and experience. It is simply nothing but a blessing for all of us!

People on the go make the maximum use of laptop computers’ mobility as it is designed to work on batteries and through direct power supply. Its lets you stay connected to your office, home, business even from distantly remote places, be it in other countries or other continents. Who might think of getting a desktop computer on a plane? while you could use a laptop to look after your multiple business. (You might not be a millionaire but a man can dream can’t he?)

Without laptops, monitoring businesses miles away would have been very difficult. This mobility feature of a laptop gives us the freedom and ability to use computers anywhere. Be it in a restaurant, in a car or places we feel comfortable, we can use laptops as long as we do not disturb others and go beyond rules.

The high-tech features such as built-in camera, speakers, Bluetooth, WiFi device, and infrared and its compact design makes it different and adds to its uncountable benefits which normally doesn’t come in a small package in a desktop computers. However if such features are to be added in a desktop it requires individual purchases and manual installation for both hardware and software.

The size really does matter. When it comes to Mobile Computing, Smaller the better. The computing power of laptop makes it really evident. Small-sized components, architecture of laptop computers are very much distinct from that of desktop computers. However, the performance and operations are in no way affected by the size of computer. Be it a Core 2 duo for your new desktop, the same technology is available on a small laptop.

The new addition to the laptop family known as the wonderful tablet pc has much more to offer. These super small and powerful computers have emerged to revolutionize computing. Energy saving is another feature of laptops as they don’t use up a lot of electricity as compared to CRT and LCD monitors of desktop. Some features such as display difference. Ultra portable laptop or tablet is a major and advance addition to the mobile computers. Emergence of such high-tech, micro and powerful computers has revolutionized the industry to a great deal.

Well there have been instances with a couple of my old high school friends who always complained the slow performance and short battery life of their notebooks. Some of you reading this might give their assent on this comment, but before you even think about giving a bad name to the laptop technology please be sure that you have the adequate configuration to synchronize with your work too. A laptop without graphics card will definitely not show you good gaming results now, would it?
