  • A History of the Dell Inspiron Line
    Dell Computers has been in the 'custom built' PC market since the early 1980s; Michael Dell famously started the business out of his University of Texas dorm room before laptop computers even existed. Dell has managed to establish a reputation for hitting the sweet spot of price and performance for most users, and regularly updates their brand lines to match the latest specifications.
  • The Dell Inspiron Mini 9
    The success of the ASUS PC 7" has many computer manufacturers scrambling to keep up with demand. While the initial wave of these diminutive devises, from such manufacturers as ASUS, Acer, and MSI, caught on like wildfire, it left some established manufacturers in the lurch. Many see these new laptops as the Volkswagon Beetles of small computers. Not since the hobbyist computers of the 1980s and 1990s has a computer been so customizable.
  • Advanced MC Cards Across the Globe
    Advanced Mezzanine (Advanced MC) Cards augment the existing and continued implementation of Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA). Their "hot swap-ability" quality has the ability to considerably reduce operating costs by providing carriers with the ability to upgrade and service working systems with negligible disruption to overall operations. The great strength of the AMC module is the insistence that telecommunications should be the main focus of technological development. Advanced MC cards enhance the salient features of ATCA platforms, including higher bandwidth, hot swap-ability, integrated system management, and higher power capabilities.
  • Motherboards: COM Express
    A motherboard is the central printed circuit board that makes up a intricate electronic system, specifically a personal computer or a laptop. It can also be referred to as a mainboard, a system board, a baseboard, a planar board, even a mobo, depending on whom you are speaking to. With Apple computer systems, for instance, the motherboard is often labeled a logic board.
  • Embedded SBC Computers
    Single-board computers were once considered "dyna-micro" based on the Intel C8080A processor and Intel's first EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) chip. This radical chip was designed to retain its data when the power was switched off. Rebranded by E&L Instruments in 1976, the EPROM became known as the BugBook 8080 micro-computer.
  • Computer Repair School: A New Future
    In the last few decades, the dependence on computers has grown steadily. Rapidly expanding technologies have enabled almost any business to take advantage of the convenience and efficiency of these powerful machines.
  • ETX Platforms
    Computer-On-Modules, or COMs, come standardized with the ETX, microETXexpress, and the ETXexpress systems. They offer standard functionality you can customize to any application needs. This provides for an inconceivable amount of flexibility, all the while allowing the user to maintain its functionality. The total design of the ETX baseboard keeps related costs to a minimum. Indeed, products that have embedded ETX modules are very scalable and enjoy longer life cycles.
  • Online File Storage: Business or Pleasure
    In the business world, the need for reliable, accessible backup of corporate data is a constant one. In the past -- and even today -- many companies opt for magnetic tape backup systems to protect their data. Others employ a RAID-based system, which stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks, which is an umbrella term for backing up your data across multiple hard disks. Tape backups, while popular, are prone to a number of problems including tape wear-and-tear, limited intermediate backups, and a lack of data integrity. The RAID method offers an attractive solution; however, most businesses like to keep a copy of their vital data offsite.
