Desktop and Portable Computers
A portable computer is a small, lightweight personal computer
A notebook computer (also referred to as a laptop), is a small, lightweight portable computer that opens like a clamshell to reveal a screen and keyboard
A tablet computer is a portable computing device featuring a touch-sensitive screen that can be used as a writing or drawing pad
An ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) is a small form factor tablet computer designed to run most of the software available for larger portable computers

Home, Media, Game, and Small Business Systems
A home computer system offers a hardware platform with adequate, but not super-charged support for most computer applications
A Media Center PC includes components for integrating computers, televisions, home theaters, and audio systems
Some of the most cutting-edge computers are designed for gaming
Computers marketed for small business applications tend to be middle-of-the-line models pared down to essentials

Installing Peripheral DevicesAn expansion card simply slides into an expansion slot and is secured with a small screw. Before you open the case, make sure you unplug the computer and ground yourself—that’s technical jargon for releasing static electricity by using a special grounding wristband or by touching both hands to a metal object.

Surge Protection and Battery Backup
A power surge is a sudden increase or spike in electrical energy, affecting the current that flows to electrical outlets
