My portable PC for online teaching is no longer portable. It is on its own little table. It never moves.
I have plugged into it the following;
A Sony webcam - plugged into a USB port
A four-port USB hub, with a USB mouse, keyboard and speaker power connection. I also plug in a USB drive if needed for a lesson
A 4Mb USB drive configured as "readyboost". I have read varying reports about whether this is useful, but when connecting to Zoom it seems to help.
A high resolution 22" monitor. This is a lifesaver.
A pair of speakers plugged into the jack port.
A LAN connection - RJ45.
A 64Gb SD card which holds all my live data files.
Actually, my laptop is acting like a Zoom server for the various peripherals I need to conduct a lesson.
This seems quite reasonable to me. What do you think?
