Chapter 7 Mind Map

1. Motherboards

   • Motherboards on Desktops have similar form factors, conversely the motherboards for laptops have different form factors and are unable to be interchanged.
   • Components for a motherboard that are made for a laptop cannot be used with a desktop.
     • Additionally, the laptops use SODIMMs (Small Outline Dual In-Line Memory Modules), as opposed to normal RAM cards, to conserve space.

2. CPUs

   • Laptop CPUs are designed to produce less heat than desktop CPUs, as such they require smaller cooling systems to operate effectively.
