Besides, the slate Tablet PC doesn’t include a keyboard, but there is a keyboard for the convertible Tablet PC. Also, the system unit of the slate Tablet PC is behind the display, but the system unit in the convertible Tablet PC is positioned below a keyboard.

2.       Motherboard    : The electronic components and circuitry of the system unit, such as the processor and memory, usually are part of or are connected to a circuit board.

Computer Chip                 : a small piece of semiconducting material, usually silicon, on which integrated circuits are etched.

3.       4 basic operations            : Fetching, decoding, executing, storing.

The functions of registers are include storing the location from where an instruction was fetched, storing an instruction while the control unit decodes it, storing data while the ALU computes it, and storing the results of a calculation.

If we have a computer that is not Bluetooth enabled, we can purchase a Bluetooth wireless port adapter  that will convert an existing USB port into a Bluetooth port.

5.     Compressed air                : to blow away dust from any openings on the computer or device case, such as drives, slots, ports, and fan vents. And lint from difficult-to-reach areas, removes sticky liquid spilled on keyboards.

Optical mouse   : devices that emit and sense light to detect mouse’s movement.
Laser mouse      : enabling users to place the mouse on rougher surfaces such as carpeting    and park benches.
Air mouse           : is a motion-sensing mouse allows you to control objects, media players, and slide shows by moving the mouse in predetermined directions through the air.

2.       Point                     : move the mouse until the pointer on the desktop is positioned on the item of choice. Example : position the pointer on the screen.
Rotate wheel     : roll the wheel forward and backward. Example : roll vertically (up and down).
Press wheel       : press the wheel button while moving the mouse. Example : scroll continuously.
Tilt wheel            : press the wheel toward the right or left. Example : scroll horizontally.
Triple-click           : quickly press and release the left mouse button three times without moving the mouse. Example : select a paragraph.

3.       OCR       : can read and convert text documents into electronic files.
OMR      : a technology that reads hand-drawn mark such as small circles or rectangles.
