Meebox

Meebox is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Meebox rather than just read about it. In short: Meebox (also stylized as Meeb[ ]x) was a Mexican company specializing in the design and manufacturing of computers and other consumer electronics. Meebox has operations in Latin America and the United States.

Key takeaways

Meebox belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Meebox to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Meebox from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Meebox (also stylized as Meeb[ ]x) was a Mexican company specializing in the design and manufacturing of computers and other consumer electronics. Meebox has operations in Latin America and the United States. It was the first Mexican company to manufacture a full functioned tablet computer. and was one of only three Mexican companies which manufactured tablet PCs. In September 2011, Mexican telecom giant Telmex began selling Meebox tablet computers for use with the Telcel 3G wireless internet network. In 2012, Honda Motor Corporation of Japan began using Meebox tablets and computers for point of sales units and business management, becoming the first major foreign business client of Meebox.

Products

Meebox produced a wide range of consumer electronics and parts including, desktop tower units, LCD displays, solar panels, netbooks, laptop computers, webcams, speakers, RAM memory, DVD drives, surge protectors, mice, cables, keyboards, adapters, headphones, and point of sales and display units for commercial clients. In addition to the aforementioned products, most of Meebox's sales came from its two products: An All-in-one PC, the Meebox touch and a Windows powered tablet pc, the Meebox Slate.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Meebox

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Meebox claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Meebox before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Meebox ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Meebox

In research: Meebox appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Meebox in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Meebox is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2009 establishments in Mexico, Companies based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Computer companies established in 2009, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Meebox outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Meebox in simple terms?

Why does Meebox matter?

Because it connects several computer science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Meebox?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
