Choosing a Tablet That is Right For You

Choosing a tablet can be a complicated task these days. With so many options to choose from it can be frustrating trying to figure out what makes each different. In choosing one for myself I found most information online lacking when it came to everything in one place, so I decided to put something together to make choosing a tablet that is right for you, fairly simple.   I recommend the 7" sized tablet for most people. These are the most portable, lightweight, and reliable on the market.

The various 9.8" and above tablet sizes out there work well for some business use, but I find them cumbersome to keep with you most of the time and too heavy for lengthy one-handed use. The information provided here is both basic (for those wishing to find out what this newer technology is all about) and partially advanced.   It's not a q...

Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter have over 500 million users registered on them and you can reach them with your Acer laptops.

Benefits of WAN Routers

A router is a device that forwards date packets between computer networks, creating an overlay internetwork. A router is connected to two or more data lines from different networks. When a data packet comes in one of the lines, the router reads the address information in the packet to determine its ultimate destination. Then, using information in its routing table, the router directs the packet to the next network on its journey. Routers are used in homes across the world, as well as businesses. However, WAN routers are typically used with bigger businesses.   A WAN router is a router used for a wide area network (WAN). It facilitates the transmission of multiple data streams between a company's enterprise locations to its branch location, for example, which use smaller capacity branch routers. A WAN router aggregates traffic from multiple access routers, either at the same site, or to collect the data streams from multiple sites. WAN routers typically have a great deal o...
