Hi all! Computer technology has entered our lives forever; almost every house and apartment has a desktop computer or laptop. Today I want to share useful information about five things that every owner of such equipment should have. What are they needed for? And in order to insure yourself in case of any minor breakdowns of your equipment or to simplify connection to something. Everything can be purchased at a regular computer store, or you can order it on AliExpress, thereby saving a lot of money. Of course, each person who needs what needs to choose from this list needs to choose individually. Maybe someone already has some of this. I wrote everything from personal experience, it should be useful. So, let’s begin.
External network card.Everyone needs access to the Internet, and if the connection is provided through a wired connection, then this thing can definitely come in handy. Let’s say for some reason the network card on your computer has become faulty, and therefore access to the network has become impossible. Then an external network card will come to the rescue, which can be connected via any USB connector. There are no difficulties in the settings, the only thing is that in some cases you may need a driver. It usually comes bundled on a disk. Or you can download it from the Internet, for example via a mobile phone, and transfer it to your computer via a data cable. The price for “Ali” starts at an average of 200 rubles. For those who do not trust this site, I am attaching information according to Yandex Market. You can also purchase branded ones.
External sound card . A similar situation, the sound disappeared. No amount of manipulation with reinstalling drivers helps. Then a sound card will help, connect it to a free USB connector, and then connect the speakers via the 3.5 Jack connector. The sound appears, you can use it until the main problem is solved. As a rule, driver installation is not required. The price for “Ali” is on average from 100 rubles. You can also purchase a branded card, I am attaching Yandex Market data.
Wi-Fi USB adapter. There is no way to connect an Internet cable to your equipment, but you have a Wi-Fi router at home. But your computer does not have the ability to connect wirelessly. Then a Wi-Fi USB adapter will help you. Connects to any free USB connector. Sometimes drivers may be required; you can also download them from the Internet if there was no disk included. As a last resort, download it via the mobile Internet and transfer it to your computer. Prices for “Ali” start from 200 rubles on average. Again, you can purchase a proprietary adapter.
HDMI-VGA adapter. Useful in several cases. For example, you bought a new video card, but you still have an old monitor with a VGA connection interface. Then this adapter will be useful to you. Or, for some reason, a modern monitor failed, and an old one was installed as a replacement, albeit temporarily. An adapter will also come in handy. It is connected to the HDMI connector of the video card, and to it we attach a regular VGA cable and connect to the monitor. No drivers are required for this installation. The price for “Ali” is on average from 150 rubles, plus delivery. You can also find it in computer stores or other online stores.
Bluetooth USB adapter. More suitable for connecting some additional accessories with Bluetooth technology to your computer. Connects to any free USB connector. You may need to install drivers. They are included in the kit or downloaded from the Internet. But this is undoubtedly a useful thing. Prices for “Ali” start from 120 rubles plus delivery. There are many different designs available. I also provide prices for branded adapters, according to Yandex Market.
Here is a list of useful things. In any case, they can all come in handy sooner or later, but if you go get rid of them, you can always easily sell them, they are in demand. I know from personal experience. Some people even make money by selling these goods; they buy them and resell them at a higher price. These are not a waste of money, but useful things.
