Study Notes
- Handheld devices are small, light, and easy to carry.
- They have limited processing power and storage capacity but are becoming more powerful.
- These devices are portable and fit into a pocket or bag.
- They run on battery power, so no power source is needed during use.
- However, they have lower processing power and lack cooling systems.
- Battery life is short, and the devices can be easily lost, damaged, or stolen.
- Memory and versatility are limited, making them less suitable for demanding tasks.
- Smartphones, small tablets, eReaders, and smartwatches are examples of handheld devices.
Portable Devices
- Portable devices are larger and more powerful than handheld devices but are still easily transported in a bag.
- They can be carried in a laptop bag and run on battery power.
- This allows use without a power outlet.
- The devices are more powerful and versatile than handheld devices.
- This makes them suitable for a wider range of tasks.
- They have lower processing power than fixed devices.
- They also have limited battery life and need regular charging.
- Laptops and large tablets are examples of portable devices.
Fixed Devices
- Fixed devices are bulky and need a constant power connection.
- They offer higher processing power and storage capacity.
- This makes them ideal for demanding tasks.
- These devices have the highest processing power among home and work computers.
- They have large storage capacities that can be expanded.
- However, they need a power outlet and cannot be moved during use.
- They are heavy, difficult to transport, and more expensive than portable or handheld devices.
- Desktops, game consoles, and smart TVs are examples of fixed devices.
Shared Devices
- Shared devices allow multiple users to access data at the same time.
- They are commonly used for cloud storage and data centers.
- This enables remote access and frees up physical storage space.
- These devices offer 24/7 availability for online services.
- This makes them essential for businesses and collaborative work.
- They rely on network connections, so downtime can affect access.
- Technical knowledge is needed to set up and manage them.
- Cloud storage, data centers, and database servers are examples of shared devices.
