Once you have a laptop or desktop you can invest in many additional components to make your live a lot easier. These are known as computer peripherals, as technology moves on they are becoming bigger and better in making day to day tasks easier for you. If you have a desktop computer then there are some essential peripherals that you need in order to be able to use it. Firstly you need a mouse and keyboard in order to perform any tasks such as typing or changing the configuration of your pc.

That is one of the benefits of buying a laptop, although many people buy externals mice to make it easier to navigate around the system, they are not essential so if your are on a budget, you can simply buy the base unit and that will be sufficient for you to do anything you want.

One of the most popular peripherals people go for is a printer, this will allow you to print any work you have so you have a hard copy of any document you require. It also enables you to write letters on the computer, save them and make any adjustments before you come to the final version. Once you are happy with it you can print it off and send it in, this makes job applications and CV’s seem more professional.

Another useful peripheral for designers or artists is a graphics tablet, this will allow you to draw on a tablet which will interpret it onto the computer screen. Its gives you the ability to draw with more precision if you don’t have the necessary skills on photo software such as Adobe Photoshop.

If you are into photo editing there is another peripheral that will be able to assist you in getting the perfect picture, you can use a scanner to copy hard copies and edit them on your pc. This is good if you have images in a magazine, booklet or leaflet that you would want to incorporate into a website or make changes to.

You will need speakers if you want to have sound on your desktop computer, laptop have speakers in built which will save you buying them. You could always buy some headphones if you don’t want everyone to be able to hear your music, game sounds or videos. Headphones will give you many benefits, especially if you play games.

A walk past the famed Paradise circle in Secunderabad into Parklane brings us to the de-facto personal computer and laptop accessories market, the Chenoy Trade Centre (or CTC as it is often referred to). This building was originally just like any regular commercial complex consisting mainly of clothing stores. Later in time it even became a residential complex. But soon it was back to what it started with – a commercial hub.

What can you look for…

This centre houses all computer peripherals that you can think of. No wonder then that it is even compared with the Lamington Road in Mumbai or Nehru Place in Delhi. The CTC has a poor cousin in the form of a few stores at the Gujarati Galli in Koti. But then nothing compares to this in the city.

The market started with sales only in hardware and assembled computers. Later on it even became the hub of pirated software till the dealers became authorised resellers. Now the complex is a one-stop-shop for new purchases, maintenance and repairs. In fact, if you don’t find a computer-related accessory at CTC, it probably is not available anywhere else in the city.

Tips for Shopping…



Most of the stores offer fair prices but bargaining is not a bad idea.

For software, buy from authorised dealers or buy hardware that comes bundled with software.

It is always good to plan a purchase and then visit this place. So do your research online or refer to any Indian computer magazine as dealer recommendations here are usually to push products on which their commissions are higher.

The market is closed on public holidays and Sundays, so schedule your visits for weekdays only.

Hindi, Telugu and English work with equal effectiveness so language should not be a problem.

Parking space is quite difficult to find for cars so be prepared to park near Paradise and get ready for the walk.

Ask for home installations for new PC purchases. For upgrades take your PC along with you for the best service.

Though most dealers accept credit cards they charge 2.5 % extra.

For refilling printer cartridges ask for a test print.

Ask for warranty and guarantee details.

The scenario is same in all cases, whether it is about internal components like processor, RAM, motherboard, graphics card, and hard disk or for peripheral accessories like mouse, speakers, Bluetooth dongles, keyboards (wired/wireless), monitors etc.

Since many years, the main advancement has been seen in trends of the data storage.

Also with newer versions of flash memory cards, USB extension cables, portable drives and other mobile computer accessories, carrying data along with you has become much easier.

Communication with your loved ones has been facilitated through the internet at much cheaper costs. With significant increase in varieties of handheld computer accessories like webcams, Ethernet cables, earphones and wireless broadband LAN computer networking hardware, keeping you connected to the whole world is no longer an expensive procedure. Also with the coming of wifi mesh networking hardware support and cat5e, cat6, Cat6a cables there has been a tremendous enhancement in the wireless technologies. The cat5e, cat6, Cat6a cable standard provides performance of up to 250 MHz and is suitable for 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet).

Our mode of entertainment has also seen gradual technological changes in multimedia stuff. The quality of voice and visual devices has effectively been refined over years. With the coming of powerful digital media players and audio visual cables it is possible to listen to music with refined bass and vocals and visualize smooth functioning of graphics.

Despite the incredible improvement in performance and functionalities of computer hardware and networking peripherals, the price of these components has actually fallen steadily. There are vast arrays of computer peripherals that allow us to do amazing things. But in my opinion we should go for the type of peripherals that suit our daily life in every way.
