Hi mjpa,

I �d translate these words like this:

Trackball � rat
n de bola
Motherboard � placa madre
Slot � ranura
Hub � ladr�n (it depends on the context)
Tablet PC � ordenador que gira la pantalla unos 180�

Bus serial -
Forma de transmisi�n bit por bit en una l�nea
Handheld � �de mano� (pero falta un sustantivo detras)

I hope it helps

It �s very difficult to find a spanish translation for these words, they �re used in English by Spanish speakers. I suggest you to use pictures, but here are some words that you can use:

Handheld - Ordenador de bolsillo o computador de mano
Universal Serial Bus (USB) - Conductor universal en serie
Hub - Concentrador
Slot - Ranura de expansi�n
Motherboard - Tarjeta madre

I didn �t find any Spanish word for tablet pc and trackball. Like I said, use pictures!!! They are very useful.

Agree with Pam D in everything. In Spain "a hub" is called "multiplicador de puertos"
