Welcome to Mahalo Computers!
Learning about computers can be intimidating at first, but it's helpful to know how yours works. Computers are distinguished from other electronic devices in being programmable. By loading different software, the same computer can carry out radically different tasks from making scientific calculations to playing games, from editing video to surfing the internet.Computer technology continually progresses through the years. Computer chips get smaller and as a result more faster and more powerful devices are made.
Follow along as Mahalo's computer experts guide you through the inner workings of your own computer's system.

Know Your Computer
Since the 1940s computers have become an increasingly important part of daily life and companies have whittled down their size from massive machines to slender laptops. Most people know them as desktop or laptop devices that run either Microsoft Windows or Apple operating systems, but devices such as smartphones are also essentially computers.
