  Hello everyone! Today I will be throwing some light on CPUs (central processing unit), their purpose, kinds and the advantages of better CPUs in your machine. Most people know CPUs as a part that goes into the computer, but basically a CPU is the brain of a computer, it retrieves commands and executes them. The light tasks don’t require as much power as the heavy ones do. Let’s go a bit deeper - Each CPU has cores and threads, where cores are actual hardware which increase the amount of work accomplished at a time, and threads are virtual snippets of code that manage tasks. Each CPU can have up to 2 threads per core, if a CPU has 4 cores it will have 8 threads, 12 cores will have 24 threads etc.etc ..   For tasks like rendering heavy applications or video editing, it is advisable to opt for a CPU with more cores, while for gaming it is advisable to opt for a CPU with a higher clock speed on each core. Every CPU has a clock speed, boost clock and performance core clock....

  Hi everybody! Today I will cover the basics of desktops. Even with desktops, it is important to understand the purpose of each and every component, even though most of the components are the same as laptops, the most notable difference being the power supply. Goes without saying that the majority of components in desktops will be more powerful than their laptop counterparts. What I find amazing about desktops is the customization you can get. To start with, you can either buy a prebuilt/stock desktop or assemble your own. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. To start with, readymade ones do not require any knowledge to assemble and they have a standard warranty, but they do not always have the best quality components. With customized desktops, you will need to learn how to source and assemble various components & assemble them together. You do not get a warranty either. You will have to choose what is right for you. Today I will be sharing some basic information ab...

#1  Hello! This is Ranbir and I would like to share my story of how I got into exploring the world of computers. It all started a little over 4 years ago when I started playing games on my brother's PS4. It was my official introduction to titles like FIFA, GTA5, and a few others. Even though I played only for an hour or two every week, it started growing on me and I soon realized I'd been messing around on my brother's PS4 for over a year! Now, determined to acquire my own console, I started pushing the subject with my parents. They feared I would get addicted to gaming, so alternatively agreed to get me a computer! And unfortunately, I had to settle for a laptop as they believed it would be more practical to carry it around. I began saving all the money I received through pocket money, gifts, etc., and started doing a lot of research on computers alongside. I read article after article about all types of computers ranging from 40,000 all the way up to 4,00,000. And after a...
