Desktop computers, unlike [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.c_hwarch:handheld | handheld computers]], generally require more power to support peripherals such as disks and monitors. Consequently, even though Desktop computers can be moved their power requirements make them cumbersome. A desktop's peripherals include: one or more monitors, internal and external disks, mice, printers, and oftentimes [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:w:wired]] [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:ethernet]] connections. A stereotypical configuration generally comprises a case housing the power supply, a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:motherboard]] with a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cpu]]; a keyboard and mouse for input; a computer monitor; speakers; and usually a printer for output. The case may be horizontally or vertically oriented, placed underneath, beside, or on top of a desk. |
