Lab 1-4. Testing Mode. Identify Parts
inside a Laptop and an All-in-One
Computer
What kind of memory card does a laptop typically use? – answer SO-DIMM
In this computer, the optical drive and the hard disk drive provide options for long-term
data storage. What's another component often included in computers for long-term

Some parts inside an all-in-one computer look very similar to laptop parts, while other
parts are the same as those used inside a desktop computer. Of the parts listed here,
which one are you most likely to find in any of the three types of computers (laptops,
desktop, and all-in-one) without any variation in size, shape, or functionality? -
answerInternal SSD
Coin-cell batteries are often used to power small devices such as watches and small
toys. It's obviously not capable of powering the entire all-in-one computer. So what is it
used for here? - answerPowers a small amount of RAM so the computer will retain
