This part controls the processing of software. Not only that but it needs a hard drive. You need this because if you don't have one then there wouldn't be anywhere to store your data. memory cards Aren't essential unless your trying to share data, there are others but these way is easier. You also need a random access memory, or Ram. This is used like a hard drive but its faster and is for the ' "smaller" data parts.  The motherboard is like the nerves inside the brain. It connects everything together and helps it function. The computer also would need a operating system. Of Course these few parts aren't everything you need for a computer but these are a few of the most important parts of the computer.]]> 2019-02-15 20:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/331903354 jmhorbrook1 https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/331908903 2019-02-15 20:41:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/331908903 jmhorbrook1 https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/333377684 I picked "How Are Computers Made" because I really like using computers because I like to see what a computers made of. computer are used to research and to check email and other things like social media, and video games. Although there are many uses for computers. The creator of the computer was a mathematician called Charles Babbage. In 1833 he started and in 1871 he created the computer. The things that I learned was what was inside a computer. I knew there was a hard drive and cpu, and I figured there would be something like the motherboard in there but I didn't know about the Ram. And there were more things about the computer I didn't know like who made it, and that cpu's were made from crystalline silicone. ]]> 2019-02-20 20:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/333377684 jmhorbrook1 https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/337666771 My partner in these project Henry, and I took pictures of the laptop that we will be Taking apart. The laptop is a older model of the Thinkpad's that we use today, but that is a good thing because now we can see what the insides of a old laptop is.

The company that made this Thinkpad is Lenovo. This Thinkpad is a old model, it's model number is t400. Lenovo didn't always sell Thinkpad's T series, in 2000, the first t series came out. They called it the t20. They also had a R series, but the R400 was made with cheaper material. They had a W series but because of cuts they didn't continue it because it was so expensive. After a while the R series was also cut. Lenovo, after R series was gone, made the L series, with the l412 and l512. But the L series wasn't really new because it had the same case as the old SL series. They came out with a Thinkpad called the Island series in 2010.]]> 2019-03-12 19:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/340595474 jmhorbrook1 https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/353523307 The Hard drive is a Electro-Machine device that stores digital information.

It does this with the help from a Thermal Conductor. The fan in the heat sink takes the heat throughout the rest of the laptop, to keep the heat sink and the processor cool. ]]> 2019-04-25 19:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/354257111 jmhorbrook1 https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/354258141 2019-04-25 19:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/354258141 jmhorbrook1 https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/354261123 The motherboard is a circuit board that lets all the components of the laptop to work together. Not all Motherboards can work with other types of laptops. They come in different sizes and shapes, and are not compatible with everything.  ]]> 2019-04-25 19:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/354261123 jmhorbrook1 https://padlet.com/jmhorbrook1/rkvhdnxx6haw/wish/355188678 The Ram is used like a hard drive, but for smaller data. The Ram is faster then a regular hard drive.  This works with the data that is stored temporarily until it is used again.
