Computer
You need the following components to build a computer yourself:
PC case
Motherboard
Processor
Processor cooler
Power supply
Memory
Hard disk
Graphics card
It is important that your components are compatible with each other. For example, your processor must have a socket that is compatible with your motherboard. The performance of your components depends on your application.
Desktop PCs are well suited for a stand-alone setup. There's also a lot of savings potential in assembling your own components compared to complete PCs (all-in-one solutions).
For simple office applications, you might not need a dedicated graphics card. Most processors have an integrated onboard graphics chip that is sufficient for simple applications.
Linux is a free software whose special feature is that the source code is open and can be individually adapted by the users in compliance with licensing requirements. Thus, there are various Linux systems, which are particularly suitable for people with an affinity for software.
In the office area, use ergonomic peripherals to prevent wear and tear. A comfortable chair also makes it easier to work on your PC or laptop. If you're more of a gamer, you can get the most out of your gaming experience with gaming-optimized mice, keyboards or headphones.
4-6 years old: about 20 minutes, not daily.
7-10 years old: approx. 30 - 45 minutes daily
10-13 years old: approx. 60 minutes daily
14-17 years old: after consultation to prevent excessive use
What the child does on the computer and what media they consume is also important. While you can encourage work with informative educational software, you should pay close attention to what your child is consuming when it comes to YouTube and social networks, as well as computer games.
To increase the lifespan of your devices you should consider the following things:
Do not charge laptops permanently
Clean fans regularly
Use devices with high quality workmanship
transport laptops in a bag (laptop bag)
ensure sufficient ventilation in the desktop case
Dusty fans and insufficient ventilation can easily cause the components inside the case to overheat, which reduces the lifespan of the devices.
