Computer speakers are certainly components which can't be given an indifferent glance. A sound card would be useless if there are no speakers for the computer.

Computer speakers are basically devices that have low power internal amplifiers. These are the basic ones that are found in the market. However, a remarkable degree of variation among these products is visible in terms of the level of advanced features like:

1.Woofers
2.Sound equaliser features like
1.Bass control
2.Treble control
3.Separate bass speakers along with satellite speakers.

There are many companies that specialise in the art of making computer speakers and some of them are as follows:

1.Creative Labs
2.Bose corporation
3.Dell
4.Edifier
5.Cyber acoustics
6.General Electric
7.Altec Lansing
8.JBL
9.Sony
10.Logitech
11.Harman Kardon
12.Klipsch

All the companies that have been mentioned above certainly need no introduction for they apart from having proved their worth in the field of computer speakers have also excelled in various other products.

Sony for example, is known all over the world for its fantastic televisions and Dell is similarly known all over the world for its fantastic desktop computers and laptops.

Creative Labs is one of the companies which, despite the stiff competition from all the stalwarts in the field has managed to hold its fort and that too in an impressive manner by launching one wonderful product after another. A few examples are as follows:

The audio amplifier for this product is an integrated one and the signal to noise ratio is 75 dB. A total of 18 Watt is the nominal output power while the speakers require an external power adaptor. This is a speaker which uses wires, however, another product from the same company Creative labs is the Gigaworks T20 watt Series II speaker set and the speciality of this product is that it is completely wireless.

Hence, this feature gives an user the freedom to place the speakers anywhere in the room provided they stay within the maximum range limit which is 100 feet.

The world of computer speakers is, therefore, one which is vested with many wonderful products having been created by well known companies and having many wonderful abilities.

Computer Keyboards: Underdogs but actually the difference makers

A keyboard is a computer hardware which needs to be an extremely good one. The importance of the keyboard as an essential component is often overlooked. However, a keyboard is equally responsible for any computer to work effective as the processor or the monitor.

There are many things that one should look for, while buying computers from computer store. Each and every component of a computer has its own set of pros and cons and, therefore, they have to be considered in order to make a worthwhile purchase.

As far as the keyboard is concerned, there is no fixed list of things to look out for and this is due to the reason that the number of companies making keyboards is quite a huge one and, therefore, the variety in types of attributes like key spacing and number of keys etc. differs a lot.

Nowadays, the most advisable thing to do when one has the wish of buying a keyboard is nothing but to look for ones which have keys that are spaced in such a manner which enables the users to use them only by literally moving their fingers and not their wrists.

Computer keyboards are also of various types and one has to be clear about one's requirements in order to choose the right one. Normally the differentiation has been done based on different parameters. A selected lot of parameters have been elucidated in the following paragraphs.

Difference in terms of the user awareness: Based on the level of familiarity of the users with computers, keyboards can be segregated into three major categories which are:

1.Basic Keyboard
2.Split Keyboard
3.Multimedia Keyboard

Difference in terms of the arrangement of keys: There are normally two types of keyboards based on the arrangement of keys and they are:

1.QWERTY keyboards
2.AZERTY keyboards

The computer keyboards that are created nowadays, belong to any one of the aforementioned categories and, therefore, the customer should be aware about his or her requirement in view of the above categories in order to take the right decision.
