Good to know that someone like vestatech came up with an idea on what to get when it comes to practicality and economy! Don't scratch your head, go on and read!
As you may or may not have guessed, single board computers, like the Arm7 sbc, are simply complete computers contained on a single board. Where a motherboard based computer has a single board with interchangeable parts, a single board computer is just that, an all in one, single board computer including all requisite parts.
Single boarders, once the dominant form of computer, have seen substantial decline in the realm of home personal computers, with modern home PCs now being developed with a motherboard and what we call “daughter boards” or a Mezzanine board, wherein disk drive controllers, graphics cards, serial ports and the like are connected separately.
production cost. When, say, Toshiba puts out a new notebook, they don’t have to mass produce a whole new system, but rather, they can keep mass producing the old mother board, but maybe add one or two different parts.
The custom single board computer has remained popular in industrial applications, however. When a computer is only needed for a dedicated purpose and needs to be custom built to that end, it actually makes more sense, and you can actually save money by going with a single board rather than trying to create the perfect machine out of various components.
As an example, a simple computer built around a microcontroller can be pretty cheap, as it’s not hard at all to find a 32 bit microcontroller for somewhere around five dollars. The cheapest in mass production actually goes for around twenty five cents (it may not be the most powerful microcontroller out there, but it goes to show how inexpensive this stuff can be).
One advantage of single board computers is the availability of backplanes offering nearly every type of slot configuration, whereas motherboards usually offer only the latest or most popular slot technology.
Many technologies are dependent entirely on single board computers, such as the CompactPCI, the PXI, the VMEbus, the VXI, and the PICMG. With an Intel PC, the intelligence and control circuitry are placed into a plug-in board and then inserted into a backplane, resulting in a system with a built in motherboard, but with a backplane determining the slot configuration.
While single board computers offer advantages for industrial use, and while many technologies are incompatible with motherboard based computers, there can be the issue of buying one or several single board computers without pending too much money. Where motherboards can be more easily mass produced, single boards have to be built around the buyer’s needs, therefore, fewer numbers means that it will cost more money to buy even a single unit.
The answer to this is to simply try to find a lower price. If you don’t shop around a bit, you do stand to lose a few bucks and pass up a great deal. Single boards do offer advantages, but the price may turn you off if you don’t have a good manufacturer who can cut you a deal.

Leather Computer Bags:What Do You Really Need?
Way to go Paul Easton! I really like it when a topic hits the attic! This article is for everyone who loves bags and tech toys in it.
I love quality leather computer bags. Leather is so modern, it smells great, looks fantastic, well, oh, did I say I like leather?
If leather is not for you, you need to read a different article. There are many reasons to choose a long lasting leather bag. They are very stylish and look good. I am talking about actual leather of course.
Don't go skimpy on me and buy plastic disguised as leather. That's just in bad taste. Your hard working computer deserves to be well looked after to work well.
Yes, they (your laptop on vista ;) are as temperamental as a small so treat them well. Make sure your laptop is happy in its new home base by selecting the precise sized quality home for it.
You should allow sufficient room to breathe, but at the same time, there should be a method to firmly fix the computer so it does not move around the bag during travel.
You wouldn't wish your baby to get scratched, would you? Of course not, so make sure there is adequate fastening and cushioning, as some of these leather computer bags are great on style and zero on function.
Leather Bags will always have a longer life and should be stronger and strengthened more than the lower cost and cheaper bags available.
Speaking of function, you do know that the bag is supposed to hold and protect the laptop, right? Yes, leather is beautiful, but if the bag is for your computer, it should have some necessary features or don't bother, no matter how nice looking the bag.
First thing's first and the inner compartment for the notebook should have padding on all sides to absorb impacts from accidental bumps and falls. The inner compartment of any bag made for a portable computer should be stiff to protect the screen from an accidental kick or bump.
Your bag should also fit all your other stuff. The computer charger or power supply should always go with you. If you don't need anything else, then you're good to go.
Don't assume that you have enough battery power to last you until you get home because trust me on this, you won't. Nothing is a bigger travel annoyance than having inspiration strike, a quality carry bag and having a dead battery.
So be smart and take the power supply with you. Leather computer bags should be stylish but they should always be functional and do the job you bought them for. Be sure in keep this in mind when looking them over.
