They were called “portable” computers and they were portable — in the same way that you can move a television set from room to room. We preferred to call them “luggable” or “transportable” computers. Later on, the first battery-powered computers using monochrome and later color LCD screens arrived; they were called laptop computers.

  • Computer Service Technician- CST Competency Requirements
    Computer Service Technician- CST Competency Requirements This Competency listing serves to identify the major knowledge, skills, and training areas which the Computer Service Technician needs in order to perform the job of servicing the hardware and the systems software for personal computers (PCs). The present CST COMPETENCIES only address operating systems for Windows current version, plus three older. Included also are general common Linux and Apple competency information, as proprietary service contracts still keep most details specific to in-house service. The Competency is written so that it can be used as a course syllabus, or the study directed towards the education of individuals, who are expected to have basic computer hardware electronics knowledge and skills. Computer Service Technicians must be knowledgeable in the following technical areas: 1.0 SAFETY PROCEDURES / HANDLING / ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS 1.1 Explain the need for physical safety: 1.1.1 Lifting hardware 1.1.2 Electrical shock hazard 1.1.3 Fire hazard 1.1.4 Chemical hazard 1.2 Explain the purpose for Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) 1.3 Summarize work area safety and efficiency 1.4 Define first aid procedures 1.5 Describe potential hazards in both in-shop and in-home environments 1.6 Describe proper recycling and disposal procedures 2.0 COMPUTER ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY 2.1 List the tools required for removal and installation of all computer system components 2.2 Describe the proper removal and installation of a CPU 2.2.1 Describe proper use of Electrostatic Discharge

  • Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring
    Windows NT ...: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - Chapter 9 - Performance Monitorin Page 1 of 13 [Figures are not included in this sample chapter] Windows NT Network Management: Reducing Total Cost of Ownership - 9 - Performance Monitoring AN OLD ADAGE SAYS, "IF YOU can’t measure it, you can’t manage it." Even if you can measure something, how can you tell if your changes are making a difference if you don’t have baseline information? It’s important to monitor a server’s or work- station’s performance to maximize your investment in these tools. If a user complains that her computer is too slow, you often need more information to fix the problem. For example, if the problem is loading Web pages on a computer using an analog modem, the modem is probably limiting the system’s performance. However, if the computer is an older model, certain operations may wait for the CPU to finish processing. In this case, a complete system upgrade may be the best solution. The usefulness of performance monitoring goes far beyond handling user expectations. A network and systems administrator can use information obtained by analyzing the operations of existing hardware, software, and networking devices to predict the timing of upgrades, justify the cost of replacing and upgrading devices, and assist in troubleshooting. Performance monitoring ultimately reduces TCO and is a vital part of managing any IT environment. Performance monitoring helps answer important questions about your current environment. For example, you may want to know which activity specifically uses the most resources in your environment. If you determine that it is loading Web pages, then upgrading the RAM or the CPU speed of client machines may not help much.

  • Laptops Advice Sheet 4
    NCTE Advice Sheet – Laptops Advice Sheet 4 Laptops What is a Laptop? A laptop is a general term referring to a computer that has a built-in display and keyboard and is intended to be a portable personal computer. A laptop computer runs the same operating system and software applications as a larger desktop PC, but it is considerably smaller in size and lighter in weight. Today`s laptops weigh between 2-10 lbs and can incorporate a wide array of modern technologies. Furthermore, a laptop contains a battery, which allows it to be used away from and one can use either term interchangeably. The specifications of a laptop are very similar to those of a PC and the same basic criteria determine its functionality (i.e., processor speed, amount of memory and storage space). Refer to Advice Sheet 2 for more information on general computer specifications. However, there are a few components that are unique to laptops (i.e., pointing devices, display panels and external devices) and it is these items that are discussed in this advice sheet. Display screen Laptop Specifications Laptop displays are lightweight and flat. Two types are available: TFT (active matrix) or STN (passive matrix). • AMD or Intel Processor (Mobile) • 2GB DDR RAM • 160GB Hard Drive Trackpad • Integrated DVD/RW Drive An alternative pointing device to a mouse. • Graphics with 256MB DDR VRAM • Audio capability • MS® Windows XP Pro or Vista (or LAN/Internet connectivity Linux) In this laptop, the modem and network adapter • 15" SXGA+ TFT (1400x1050) Display are built-in (integrated).
