The Netbook Review

Nokia were once the premium brand in the mobile phone market, totally dominant, they dicatated trends and what was ‘cool’. Of course I’m going back ten years to the time when I was in high school and mobile phones weren’t just a everyday necessity, they were a marker of coolness and social validation. We could debate for hours about the best network, when we really didn’t know what on earth a network was.

Today, things are both exactly the same and totally different. Cellular technology hs advanced leaps and bounds, in fact they aren’t even called phones anymore, they’re now smart phones. Yeah phones are smart. This essentially means that these phones come equppied with mobile internet browsing capabilities which means you can access the internet where ever you are and view web pages just as you would on Desktop PCs.

So they are the changes, what’s the same? People still seem to find entertainment for debating for hours on end which is the ‘best’ phone, only the debate has been complicated by the separation of hardware and software. Now we must chose from the big 3 – Apple, Google and Windows 7, just like we do with our desktops. iOS is only an option on the Apple iPhone, the hardware and software are inseparable, just like in a motherboard bundle.

It has inspired the smart phone enthusiasts then and sparked more debate that Nokia have recently announced a partnership Microsoft. Nokia will now only use Windows 7 on their phones, just like Samsung and HTC. This will shore up both Nokia’s and Microsoft’s offerings in the smartphone market and increase revenue for both, just like Computer Supplies companies increased their revenue after they started selling in big stores. Windwos 7 is a solid system that allows the multiple publishing social media feeds along with texts, calls and other media you may be interested in, a great system that makes life easier.

You don’t need an electronics degree to upgrade your computer yourself, but it certainly helps! All things considered, upgrading your PC need not be the harrowing task that many make it out to be, providing you know precisely what needs to go where and the right tools you can transform that chugging grey box in the corner into a super fast machine.

Upgrading Desktop PCs often involves taking apart the outer casing and removing the circuit boards with the end goal either replacing them with other circuitry or rewiring the board itself. This requires a key skill which you may not have used since your design technology classes in school, soldering.

Soldering is the method used to bond wires to one another or other metal surfaces in order to create a semi-permanent connection. It involves the extreme heating of a metal alloy, solder to a temperature where it becomes molten, this allows two metal surfaces to be disconnected or connected until the solder binding them is heated again.

Being able to solder will make upgrading your Computer hardware so much easier and cheaper because you are completely eliminating the labour cost by doing it yourself. Soldering requires composure, speed and a steady hand.

Soldering irons can easily reach temperatures of up to and over 1000 degrees, any contact with skin will be very painful, the fumes can also be noxious if inhaled excessively. By observing these safety tips you will avoid any injury or illness that may result from soldering.

Remember if you are in any doubt consult an expert, and don’t practice soldering on yout precious motherboard. Only use it on components where it is absolutely necessary. cheap hard drives do not requite it and can be plugged straight in.

Technology moves so fast these days it is often difficult to keep up, particularly in the world on consumer electronics. It seems that as soon as you buy something its out of date, Televisions, Games consoles, Sky Boxes, even toasters are subject to the attentions of over enthusiastic designers these days. Although computers go through constant changes they can be constantly upgraded with after market parts.

The main issue people have with their computers is running out of hard drive space. This occurs because of the sheer amount of media that people download and store on their hard drive on a daily basis. The amount of music, video and images the average person possesses is enough to fill a modest sized hard drive, and this is why external drives for Desktop PCs are an incredibly popular upgrade option.

Some may even to choose to invest in an external hard drive to back up the data they already have. This is an essential for people with reams of important data on their the computer such as university students or researchers, loosing this data would be a major headache for them and the additional cost associated with buying on is often seen as being outweighed by the disadvantage of losing this.

External hard drives are also being increasingly used as an alternative to USB memory sticks to transport data from one place to another. Memory is always being reduced in size and weight, a 32GB unit is now slim and small enough in dimension to fit right into a shirt or jeans pocket. This makes more sense than a chocolate finger sized USB stick that are unable to store anything larger than a few slides of powerpoint presentation.

This is why external hard drives are one of the most popular PC Components and can be purchased in a variety of shapes and sizes and to suit all pockets.

There is a lot of choice when it comes to buying a computer online so this really is a good thing. In fact this is probably what has made online sellers so successful; they can afford to stock a lot more items than a high street store. The fact that they are online also means that many of these places can offer things a lot cheaper than you would get in a ‘bricks and mortar shop’; they have fewer overheads. But the number one advantage of being able to purchase items on the internet is convenience. It is just so much more comfortable purchasing things from the comfort of your own home; there is no need to rush and no need to travel anywhere.

The Disadvantages Of Buying Laptops On The Internet.

Purchasing a laptop from reputable dealers online is probably as safe as buying in a regular shop. The downside for me though is the wait. No matter how fast things are delivered there will still be some sort of wait and this is something that I don’t like; I have no patience. However I still feel that the benefits heavily outweigh the wait so it is still the perfect choice for me. It isn’t so hard any more to imagine a day when we do all our shopping online.

Shopping online is extremely popular in today’s day and age. People seem to be buying everything online. From things like netbooks to digital cameras, knowing where to look can net you some really juicy deals. On top of this, a lot of folk shop for things like desktop pcs from online stiores also.
