motherboard

It's the circuit board that connects all of your hardware to your processor, distributes electricity from your power supply, and defines the types of storage devices, memory modules, and graphics cards (among other expansion cards) that can connect to your PC.

microsoft

Windows is an operating system designed by Microsoft. The operating system is what allows you to use a computer. Windows comes preloaded on most new personal computers (PCs), which helps to make it the most popular operating system in the world.

Media Access Control

A MAC (Media Access Control) address, sometimes referred to as a hardware or physical address, is a unique, 12-character alphanumeric attribute that is used to identify individual electronic devices on a network.

SSD

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are the most common storage drives today. SSDs are smaller and faster than hard disk drives (HDDs). SSDs are noiseless and allow PCs to be thinner and more lightweight. Hard disk drives (HDDs) are more common in older devices.

power supply

A power supply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for the internal components of a computer. Modern personal computers universally use switched-mode power supplies. Some power supplies have a manual switch for selecting input voltage, while others automatically adapt to the main voltage.

Samsung

Android is an open-source mobile operating system that Google developed. It is used by many manufacturers, including Samsung, to power their devices. Samsung first started using Android on its smartphones in 2009 with the release of the Samsung Galaxy.

bandwidth


The maximum amount of data transmitted over an internet connection in a given amount of time. Bandwidth is often mistaken for internet speed when it's actually the volume of information that can be sent over a connection in a measured amount of time – calculated in megabits per second (Mbps).

RAM

Random access memory (RAM) is the hardware in a computing device that provides temporary storage for the operating system (OS), software programs and any other data in current use so they're quickly available to the device's processor.

ram

Computer RAM allows you to run data-intensive applications with ease and increases your PC's multitasking capabilities. Running multiple programs can lead to performance-related problems, as every application you're running demands various amounts of memory.

linux

What is Linux? Linux is a Unix-like, open source and community-developed operating system (OS) for computers, servers, mainframes, mobile devices and embedded devices. It is supported on almost every major computer platform, including x86, ARM and SPARC, making it one of the most widely supported operating systems

Latency

Latency is a synonym for delay. In telecommunications, low latency is associated with a positive user experience (UX) while high latency is associated with poor UX. In computer networking, latency is an expression of how much time it takes for a data packet to travel from one designated point to another.

SD-RAM

SDRAM (synchronous DRAM) is a generic name for various kinds of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) that are synchronized with the clock speed that the microprocessor is optimized for.

500

GPU

A graphics processing unit (GPU) is an electronic circuit that can perform mathematical calculations at high speed. Computing tasks like graphics rendering, machine learning (ML), and video editing require the application of similar mathematical operations on a large dataset.

SODIMM RAM

SODIMM RAM stands for Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Module. It is a type of memory module used in laptops, small form factor computers, and other devices with limited space. SODIMM RAM is smaller in size compared to the regular DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) used in desktop computers
