The USB Flash Drive
August 31, 2009
Do you remember the time when we all use an external storage disc also known as floppy disc to save our data in our computer? Eventually, people learned to use compact disc and dvd with the aid of CD or DVD writer to save larger files. But to date, files and data storage and management has turned far more efficient, faster to open and easy to carry and bring along with the flash drive. Flash drive is the most portable plugged-in storage device in the high tech world of files management. Flash drive is more kind of a memory card or chip that can be connected via usb port. Unlike the memory card which requires a card reader, the flash drive is a plug and play device. Storage capacity can range from 64mb up to 256gig, compatible with all known operating system. With the invention of flash drive, our PC and laptops becomes more compact and lighter. I still remember my first laptop, an IBM thinkpad with a floppy disc drive. So bulky and cumbersome. Now, most mini laptops have usb port for flash drive and the absence of optical disc drive for DVD.
Flash drive is a portable hard drive you can bring anywhere. How cool is that.
Choosing The Right Laptop For You
August 30, 2009
Before buying the right laptop, consider these features:
The processor or CPU is the heart of the computers and laptops. Consider the power and version (latest is the best choice) depending on your requirements and budget. Intel and AMD are the only manufacturers of processor.
The memory of the laptops determines the speed and efficiency of your machine. The bigger the memory, the faster it work. Of course, bigger memory means bigger budget for you.
The connectivity of the laptop is very important. Make sure it has at least two USB connection and at least one firewire connection. It should be WiFi ready and with Bluetooth connectivity.
The compactability and weight of the laptop is quite essential too. Make sure it’s sturdy enough and you can carry it without much effort on your part. The heat coming from the bottom of the machine should also be checked.
Not all laptops have optical drive or dvd player or writer. Usually, mini laptops have no optical drive, but can be installed with an external driver.
The display screen or LCD depends on the number of pixels and size of the screen. Higher number of pixels are more expensive.

Two posts covers a tiny USB drive, but I think the KingMax Super Stick has it beat. This thing is truly a “thumb nail” drive. It comes in a few different storage capacities, up to 4gb. I imagine it would be easy to lose though.
