skins for notebooks

It is estimated that over 42 million computer notebooks will be produced this year in 2005. The market for laptop and notebook computers is growing at a rate of 20 % each year according to Taiwanese notebook makers. And they should know - - they make 70 % of these notebooks or their components for such major players as Dell, Hewlett - Packard and Gateway.

But it ' s the portability and wireless communication these devices offer that ' s increasing their popularity among most users. Just how is this wireless communication accomplished by the notebook or laptop you ask?
Wireless notebooks uses three major wireless data standards in order to transfer data. The one that is probably most common is 802. 11b, also called Wi - Fi which stands for Wireless Fidelity.
Wi - Fi or 802. 11b transfers data wirelessly at a maximum rate of
11Mbps for up to 150 feet. It uses the 2. 4GHz radio spectrum and although it says 11Mbps, you will probably only get around 4 - 6Mbps in actual use. But this is enough bandwidth for high speed Internet, gaming and most file transfers.
