technical description.
I want to know what exactly is technical description?
Any example, and recommendation on what topic I should choose?

Just a bit about technical description, and I can choose my own one. ATM, I am very confused.

Thank you

Basically, a technical description is specification of the object. You go into all the technical details a user would need to know to use the device. http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/notebooks/laptop-latitude-z/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-latitude-z&s=bsd&cs=04&~ck=mn&dgc=IR&cid=dellhp&lid=bn2&ref=hbn <- the technical description is a combination of the overview (what the device does), the specs (what it consists of), and occasionally the design (what makes it shiny.) It depends a bit on what the purpose of the technical description is.

Continuing what story645 said, you can include
Background - a brief history of computers, and a description of typical use
Fundamentals - equations or thories that govern the computers, such as electicity or binary code. Careful with this section,
computers are complex and you can quickly get in over your head
 
Hi, thank you very much.
I decided to write about those flexible keyboards.
Thanks ^^"
