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"
