Solutions to the problems

1. Desktop

   • Large size makes desktop almost impossible to take around.
     • Smaller case where components fit tighter together to allow for better space optimisation, if done well maybe the desktop can be put into a carry bag and taken to wrk/school etc.
     • Handle for the desktop could make it more portable for maybe being lifted /carried into a car boot.
   • Parts are not always compatible and need some knowledge to check if they are.
     • A website where you can input your parts you wish to purchase and it will check for compatibility issues or even better deals on parts to maximise benifit.
     • A guide that would help beginner understand the basics so they can pick compatible parts for their system.
   • Build guides and manuals can often be misleading.
     • Software that allows you to follow along a desktop build in 3d, this would allow the user to experince the building process before building their own personal desktop. This could help eliminate expensive mistakes that could be made otherwise.
   • Large form factor requires storage space.
     • Desktop case could be incorporated into the table or a leg of a desk to save space under or on the desk.

2. Tablets

   • Stylus pen can become detached easily.
     • Case capable of holding the pen .
   • Only one port for data and storage.
     • Spliter that allows for charging and data transfer at the same time.
   • Small screen and lack of keyboard and mouse.
     • Docking station to hook up to a monitor, keyboard and mouse where the tablet can easily be unplugged and be taken away when needed.

3. Laptops

   • Bad internal cooling can often lead to shorter life span of the components.
     • Raised platform for the laptop to sit on to better improve airflow into and out of the chassis. Fans could also be used to create a negative pressure inside to accelerate airflow and better the cooling.
   • Limited to only one small screen can cause stress on eyes after viewing for long time.
     • A slim screen could fold out from the back of the laptop which could increase the screen real estate. Could also be used to share content with someone across the table when the screen is facing backwards.
   • Battery life can degrade quickly over time rendering the laptops portability worse as it must always be plugged in.
     • Multiple batteries that can be carried and replaced in the laptop easily if previous on runs out.
   • Graphics capability of laptops are often much weaker than desktops.
     • Full size desktop graphics card can be plugged into the laptop through Thunderbolt 3 connections which would allow for better graphics performance.

4. Phones

   • Audio quality is very low and not vert loud.
     • A phone case with an amplifier on the back to increase volume and sound quality. Much like a battery case but for a small speaker.
   • Storage can often run out on lower spec models.
     • A case like extension which could house a small extension drive. M.2 storage drives are shorter than a phones length and very thin, if adapted in the right way could be put into a slim case for added storage.
     • An app that monitors app usage and can identify potential unused apps that can be uninstalled to create more space.
