Specifications

	Type
	Your choices are...
	Desktop / Tower		The computer has an enclosure intended for desktop applications.
	Laptop / Notebook		Laptop / notebook computers are portable or have notebook construction. These computers often have integral displays and keyboards that are of folding construction.
	Tablet		Tablet PCs are types of notebook computers that have an LCD screen on which the user can write using a special-purpose pen, or stylus . The handwriting is digitized and can be converted to standard text through handwriting recognition, or it can remain as handwritten text. Tablet PCs also typically have a keyboard and/or a mouse for input. The tablet PC relies on digital ink technology, where a digitizer is laid under or over an LCD screen to create an electromagnetic field that can capture the movement of the stylus and record the movement on the LCD screen. The effect is like writing on paper with liquid ink.
	Computer Terminal		A terminal is a low-cost, centrally managed computer devoid of CD-ROM players, diskette drives, and expansion slots. The term derives from the fact that small computers in networks tend to be clients and not servers. Since the idea is to limit the capabilities of these computers to only essential applications, they tend to be purchased and remain "thin" in terms of the client applications included. The term "server-based computing" is being used as a synonym for "thin client" because most thin clients today are powered by back-end centralized servers that are capable of serving either fat or thin clients.
	Rack Mount		The computer can be mounted in a rack enclosure.
	PDA		Short for personal digital assistant, a PDA is a handheld device that combines computing, telephone/fax, Internet, and networking features. A typical PDA can function as a cellular phone, fax sender, Web browser and personal organizer. PDAs can also incorporate handwriting recognition features. Some PDAs react to voice input by using voice recognition technologies. PDAs are available in either a stylus or keyboard version.
	Point of Sale Computer		Point of sale (POS) systems are used for sale processing and inventory tracking.  Examples include electronic cash registers, computerized checkout systems, and self-serve kiosks.

A handheld computer is a portable computer that is small enough to be held in one's hand. Although extremely convenient to carry, handheld computers have not replaced notebook computers because of their small keyboards and screens. The most popular handheld computers are those that are specifically designed to provide personal information manager (PIM) functions, such as a calendar and address book.
	Integrated BluetoothTM Technology		The device has integrated Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is a short-range radio technology aimed at simplifying communications among Internet devices and between devices and the Internet. It also aims to simplify data synchronization between Internet devices and other computers. Products with Bluetooth technology must be qualified and pass interoperability testing by the Bluetooth special interest group prior to release. Bluetooth's founding members include Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba.

	Speed:		CPU speed refers to the speed at which the CPU operates internally. It is calculated by multiplying the memory bus speed by the multiplier of the processor, or processor speed = memory speed x multiplier. The multiplier is different for each processor. For instance, for a Pentium II 350 the multiplier is 3.5, and for a Pentium II 450 the multiplier is 4.5.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Memory

	RAM:		RAM (random access memory) is the main memory of the computer.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
	Cache Memory (L1 & L2)		The cache contains the data that is accessed most often between the CPU and memory. Cache memory accounts for a small amount of high-speed RAM, and is the memory that the processor most often utilizes. The cache runs almost as fast as the processor. There are two types of cache: L1 - Also called the internal cache because it is directly built into the processor. It is part of the processor die (raw chip). L2 - Also called external cache because it is external to the processor chip.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Display and User Interfaces

	Screen Resolution:
	Your choices are...
	160 x 160		The display provides a maximum resolution of 160 by 160 pixels.
	320 x 240		The display provides a maximum resolution of 320 by 240 pixels.
	320x320		The display provides a maximum resolution of 320 by 320 pixels.
	480 x 160		The display provides a maximum resolution of 480 by 160 pixels.
	VGA (640 x 480)		Video graphics array (VGA) is a PC video display circuit and adapter that support text and graphics. Text is supported at a maximum resolution of 80 x 25 characters in 16 colors. Graphics are supported at a maximum resolution of 320 x 200 pixels in 256 colors, or 640 x 480 pixels in 16 colors.
	SVGA (800 x 600)		Super video graphics array (SVGA) is a set of graphics standards designed to offer greater resolution than VGA. There are several varieties of SVGA, each providing a different resolution. All SVGA standards support a palette of 16 million colors, but the number of colors that can be displayed simultaneously is limited by the amount of video memory installed in a system. One SVGA system might display only 256 simultaneous colors while another displays the entire palette of 16 million colors. A consortium of monitor and graphics manufacturers called VESA develops the SVGA standards.
	XGA (1024 x 768)		Extended graphics array (XGA) is a high-resolution graphics standard introduced by IBM in 1990. XGA was designed to replace the older 8514/A video standard. It provides the same resolutions (640 x 480 or 1024 x 768 pixels), but supports more simultaneous colors (65,000 compared to 8514/A's 256 colors). In addition, XGA allows monitors to be noninterlaced.
	WXGA (1280 x 800)		Widescreen extended graphics array (WXGA) is the widescreen format of XGA. WXGA is popular in television displays and has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
	SXGA (1280 x 1024)		Super extended graphics array (SXGA) is a set of graphic standards designed to provide higher resolution than XGA. SXGA provides a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels, greater than XGAs 1024 x 768 pixels. Like XGA, SXGA can display more than 16 million colors and can support 65,000 colors simultaneously.
	SXGA+ (1400 x 1050)		Super extended graphics array plus (SXGA+) is a set of graphic standards that provides higher resolution (1400 x 1050) than SXGA (1280 x 1024).
	UXGA (1600 x 1200)		Ultra extended graphics array (UXGA) is a set of graphics standards which provides higher resolution (1600 x 1200) than either XGA (1024 x 768) or SXGA (1280 x 1024). Like XGA and SXGA, however, UXGA can display more than 16 million colors and can support 65,000 colors simultaneously.
	WSXGA+ (1680 x 1050)		Widescreen super extended graphics array plus (WSXGA+) displays 1680 x 1050 pixels.  WSXGA+ is the widescreen format of SXGA+, but is not approved by any organization.
	WUXGA (1920 x 1200)		Widescreen ultra-extended graphics array (WUXGA) is the widescreen format of UXGA.  WUXGA is designed to provide higher resolution (1920 x 1200) than either XGA (1024 x 768) or SXGA (1280 x 1024). Like XGA and SXGA, however, WUXGA can display more than 16 million colors and support 65,000 colors simultaneously.
