132-705: A typical desktop would easily consume more than 100 watts of power; consequently, nettops require significantly less cooling and may even be completely fanless. Some do not have an optical disk drive and use a solid-state drive , making them completely silent. The tradeoff is that the hardware specifications and processing power are usually reduced and hence make nettops less appropriate for running complex or resource-intensive applications . There are several platforms that are primarily intended for nettops and netbooks: Some nettops have also adopted system-on-a-chip designs. Although many major parts such as chipsets, video cards and storage devices can also be found on desktops,
154-480: Is a portmanteau of network and desktop . It is the desktop counterpart of the netbook . Modern ( c. 2020) mini PCs or small form factor PCs can be much more powerful, being equipped with high-end laptop components or mid-range desktop components. Compared with ordinary desktop computers, nettops are not only smaller and less expensive, but they also consume much less power. For example, CompuLab's fit-PC 2 consumes no more than 8 watts of power whereas
176-422: Is the development of a web navigation interface that maximizes usability . A website overall navigational scheme includes several navigational pieces such as global, local, supplemental, and contextual navigation; all of these are vital aspects of the broad topic of web navigation. Hierarchical navigation systems are vital as well since it is the primary navigation system. It allows for the user to navigate within
198-401: Is the links within the text of a given web page, linking to other pages within the website. Web navigations vary in styles between different website as well as within a certain site. The availability of different navigational styles allows for the information in the website to be delivered easily and directly. This also differentiates between categories and the sites themselves to indicate what
220-500: The OS are perfect for the product. Nettops fell into Intel's category of "Basic PC", which usually cost from $ 100 to $ 299. Intel described nettops as a large potential market at that time. Nettops were said to be able serve as an affordable first computer for people in developing countries, or as an environmentally friendly choice as a secondary computer for people in developed countries. Web navigation A central theme in web design
242-448: The smartphone . Web navigation has evolved from a restricted action, to something that many people across the world now do on a daily basis. The use of website navigation tools allow for a website's visitors to experience the site with the most efficiency and the least incompetence. A website navigation system is analogous to a road map which enables web page visitors to explore and discover different areas and information contained within
