The manufacturer that produced the processor.

A family of processors is a group of processors produced by one company over a short period of time e.g. Intel Pentium processors.

The model number for the processor in a computer.

The number of central processing units ('cores') in a processor. Some processors have 1 core, others have 2 (e.g. Intel Core Duo) or more (e.g. the Intel Xeon E7-2850 has 10 cores).

The turbo boost is an automatic, managed accelleration of the processor when one of the cores is overloaded.

Number of processors in the product.

Mechanical component(s) that provides mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows the processor to be replaced without soldering.

Graphics hardware which is built into the motherboard or CPU, as opposed to a separate graphics adapter (video card). On-board graphics uses CPU and RAM for graphics processing.

A graphics adapter (often known as a video card) generates images for a display. A discrete graphics adapter plugs into the motherboard, and usually produces much better graphics than an integrated graphics adapter. There are various models of discrete graphics adapters.

"Graphic adapter" is the hardware that produces images on a display. "On-board" means that the graphics adapter is intergrated inside the motherboard.

An Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) interface is present, for a wired conection via a cable.

The different speed levels of the Ethernet LAN connection.

Type of cable technology performance; including the fiber or cable type

Popular technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the internet wirelessly using radio waves.

Connection of this device is done via Wi-Fi in a high standard.

The type of wireless local area network (LAN): ad-hoc (where units in a network communicate peer-to-peer) or Infrastructure (units communicate with each other via an access point). A LAN interconnects computers in a small area e.g. home, school or office.

Type of antenna, also known an aerial, e.g. external, internal.

Bluetooth is a low-power radio technology developed to replace the cables and wires currently used to link or connect electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, and a wide variety of handheld devices including mobile phones. Because it uses radio-wave connectivity, a Bluetooth-enabled device has a constant, established connection to whatever browser it uses. This saves the user the trouble of logging on to check for emails or news updates, for example.

The type of bluetooth technology in the product e.g. Bluetooth Smart (v4.0).

The way in which the product is powered e.g. rechargeable battery, mains electricity connected via a plug and cable.

The frequency of the electricity, usually measured in Hertz (Hz), which is supplied by the power supply. Mains electricity in many parts of the world is 50Hz.

List of types of chassis available and their expandability if applicable.

The amount of a substance contained.

Where the product can be placed e.g. indoor/outdoor, horizontal/vertical.

Holes on the edge of devices through which a cable lock can be passed, so the device can be locked to a desk etc.

La couleur, p. ex. rouge, bleu, vert, noir, blanc.

System used to play music or speech.

The quantity of speakers included in/with the product.

The measurement or extent of something from side to side.

The distance from the front to the back of something.

Height of the product

Weight of the product without packaging (net weight). If possible, the net weight is given including standard accessories and supplies. Please note that sometimes the manufacturer leaves out the weight of accessories and/or supplies.

Indicates which regulatory, safety, and environmental standards the product complies with, as verified by recognized authorities or certification bodies.
