Why is it important to be able to calculate peak power?
A maximum peak power calculation is important because it is important to be able to supply that much power to an operating device or system so it will continue when all its components are drawing the maximum power that they can draw. A simple "visual" might help. If you have a fridge and a microwave plugged into the same outlet, and both are "big" units that draw a lot of current, you may trip a breaker if the fridge comes on while the microwave is running. In any complex system, it is possible to have all parts "maxing out" power wise, and you'd want to be able to supply that much power at any time so your system would still work with all components drawing their maximum power.

What will happen if free space is deleted off your computer?
The only reason you could lose space is corruption in the Master File Table, and the only fix is to reformat your disk you can't delete space from your hard drive unless you replace it with a smaller one.
If you are asking about what happens if you choose to "wipe" or "delete" the free space, that just means that the free space is overwritten. You would overwrite unallocated space for privacy and confidentiality reasons. Since that is free space, no harm would occur if it were overwritten. Now, if you have an SSD drive, then you'd do better to Trim the drive, since that would reformat any previously used but unallocated blocks without adding unnecessary wear to the drive.
What is the meaning of RAM in a computer?
The modern use of the acronym RAM is a computer memory term, Random Access Memory.
Random Access Memory (RAM) provides space for your computer to read and write data to be accessed by the CPU (central processing unit). When people refer to a computer's memory they usually mean its RAM. If you add more RAM to your computer, you reduce the number of times your CPU must read data from your hard disk. This usually allows your computer to work considerably faster, as RAM is many times faster than a hard disk. RAM is volatile, so data stored in RAM stays there ONLY as long as your computer is running. As soon as you turn the computer off, any data in the RAM disappears.
As one example, if you use your mouse in MS Word to highlight text, and click COPY, the copied data is "held" in RAM memory until you hit PASTE in another document or spot in the original file. That data stays in RAM, until you COPY something else, OR until you turn off the computer.
RAM today it takes the form of integrated circuits that allow the stored data to be accessed in any order (i.e., at random). The word random thus refers to the fact that any piece of data can be returned in a constant time, regardless of its physical location and whether or not it is related to the previous piece of data. This contrasts with storage mechanisms such as tapes, magnetic discs and optical discs, which rely on the physical movement of the recording medium or a reading head. In these devices, the movement takes longer than the data transfer, and the retrieval time varies depending on the physical location of the next item. The word RAM is mostly associated with volatile types of memory , where the information is lost after the power is switched off. However, many other types of memory are RAM as well , including most types of ROM and a kind of flash memory called NOR-Flash.
What does DRM mean referring to computers?
Digital Rights Managment, used to limit usage of something digitally.
As long as the laptop is working and can still run the programs you use there is no set time limit only you will know when its time to upgrade is the performance upgrade worth upgrading every year because it now take 10 minutes to boot when it use to take 8.
What do you need to transfer data from camera to computer?
It all depends on what type, make and recording medium your camera uses.
If it is tape and has an analogue output (AV leads) then you will need a computer with a video capture device added.
The card or dongle will have appropiate connections on it, for the AV leads. The devices also come bundled with the software to do it and instructions.
Some digtial cameras use a 'firewire' connection. But again your computer will have to be equipped with the correct socket. If it isn't already, then it can be added.
If you camera uses digital media, such as disc or memory card, then insert the media in the correct slot on your computer. Open the files and copy and paste them onto your hard drive.
