    Which of these can be operated using a stylus pen? - ProProfs

    Which of these can be operated using a stylus pen?

    • Tablets

    • Pocket computers 

    • Laptops 

    • Desktops 

    Correct Answer
    A. Tablets
    Explanation
    Tablets can be operated using a stylus pen because they have touch screens that are designed to be responsive to touch inputs, including those made by a stylus pen. Stylus pens provide more precision and control compared to using fingers, making them ideal for tasks that require accurate drawing, writing, or navigating on the tablet's screen. This feature is not commonly available in pocket computers, laptops, or desktops, which typically rely on keyboards and trackpads or mice for input.

    • Laptop

    • Gaming computer

    Correct Answer
    A. Laptop
    Explanation
    A laptop is not a type of stationary computer because it is designed to be portable and can be used on the go. Unlike stationary computers such as workstations, desktop computers, and gaming computers, laptops are compact and lightweight, allowing users to carry them around and use them in different locations. Stationary computers, on the other hand, are typically larger and meant to be used in a fixed location. Therefore, a laptop does not fit the definition of a stationary computer.

It is considered an external part because it is not directly integrated into the motherboard or other internal components of the computer.

    Which of these provides memory for computers? - ProProfs

    Which of these provides memory for computers?

    • Disc drives 

    • Random access memory

    • Read only memory 

    • Motherboard 

    Correct Answer
    A. Disc drives 
    Explanation
    Disc drives provide memory for computers. Disc drives, also known as hard disk drives or HDDs, are storage devices that store and retrieve digital information using magnetic storage and rotating disks. They provide long-term storage for data and programs on a computer. Random access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM) are different types of computer memory, but they do not provide memory for computers in the same way that disc drives do. The motherboard is the main circuit board of a computer, but it does not directly provide memory.
