However, mobile computer was developed lately and only minorities of users use mobile computers. Therefore, it is necessary to consider discussing the factors that affect the use of mobile computers. The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of personal traits, mobile computer self-efficacy, and mobile computer anxiety on behavioral intention to use mobile computers and further, to comprehend the relationships among these constructs. The research will conclude the factors that affect the behavioral intention to use mobile computer from related literatures, and develop a conceptual model to describe the causal relationships with age, trait anxiety, personal innovativeness in information technology, computer experience, mobile computer self-efficacy, mobile computer anxiety and behavioral intention to use mobile computers. The research will also study the effect of gender difference in this model conduct the empirical test. By using structure equation modeling (SEM), the study has the following conclusions: (1) Age has a significant negative impact on MCSE, however, PIIT and CE have significant positive impacts on MCSE. (2) MCSE is not significantly affected by TA. (3) Age and TA have significant positive impacts on MCA, and then PIIT and CE have significant negative impacts on MCA. (4) MCSE has a significant negative impact on MCA. (5) MCSE has a significant positive impact on BI, but MCA has a significant negative impact on BI. The result will provide the important references for the enterprises or academia to improve the use of mobile computers.
