Laptops

Executive Summary By Jimmy Sturo

first laptop computer

Think about a moveable computer that is light and small enough to fit in your lap. The first laptop computer came out in 1981. It was called the ‘Osborne 1’, after the name of Adam Osborne, the founder. As heavy as 24 pounds, this laptop was priced about $1,795.

Now, laptops can weigh as little as a couple of pounds. There are many reasons why people go for a laptop instead of a desktop. Laptops have the major advantage of portability. Also, laptops make less noise and require less power than a desktop. Laptops are slower and offer less sound and graphics processing power than desktops, thereby reducing the efficiency and capability.

In the U.S.A., in May 2005, 53% of computers bought were laptops rather than desktops. One reason laptops are gaining popularity is the constant effort to improve their features.

Where Did the Laptop Come From?

Executive Summary By Isla Campbell

You see them everywhere; laptop computers used by consumers, regardless of their location – on the bus, train, at work and at home. Who had the first idea to take a large personal computer and turn it into a small, compact, transportable device?

The first recorded idea of a laptop computer was penned by William Moggridge in 1979. Manny Fernandez is believed to be the first to promote the term ‘laptop’ for his 1983 Gavilan computer. As demand increased for the new portable computers, so did their design and function. Technological advancements and innovations in computer parts led to the ability to further reduce a laptop’s size, therefore making them easier to transport for the daily commute. The newer laptops had improved their battery power, whilst more applications were available that allowed a user to simulate their office access, and environment almost anywhere.

Of course the evolution of the internet has played a large role in the development of the laptop. Wireless internet receivers are now a necessary component of any laptop, especially if you wish to take advantage of the integration of wireless internet into public areas such as cafes and trains – an option that has become very popular in recent times amongst individuals. Laptops are now a coveted commodity. Luckily they are more affordable these days with some great laptop deals available both online and in retail stores.

Buying Your First Laptop

Excecutive Summary about Buying Your First Laptop By Nasreen Haque

Laptop Computers & Netbooks

You’ve started a new job at a well-established marketing firm, and you couldn’t be more excited. Perhaps it’s finally time to purchase that brand new laptop you’ve been dreaming about for the past year.

If you are working in an office and are looking to integrate your laptop, this decision will be based largely on the format that your office runs. For instance, if 95% of the computers at your office are PCs, you may want to avoid Macs, as there are often compatibility issues between the two platforms.

If physical looks are important to you, then you may want to spend a little extra money to have the sleekest looking laptop possible. Fortunately, most laptops these days (even cheap ones) fit this mold.

It is wise to choose a laptop with at least 80 gigabytes (GB) of space, as computer programs these days are larger in size than they have ever been. Even if you don’t use all the space, your laptop will run faster if you have a larger hard drive with less space taken up.

Top Tips For Buying the Right Laptop Computer

The models have evolved massively in terms of their power capabilities, extra features and security levels and the range of models on the market today is huge. If you plan to invest in a model for the first time then there are a number of aspects to consider before you make your purchase. Check out the top tips below to help you decide on your new computer.

• Try out the keyboard to make sure it fits your fingers – miniature keyboards are fine if you only rarely press a button or if you have small fingers. If you must have a small keyboard and still want to type comfortably, consider fewer keys (which have multiple functions) rather than lots of small keys.
• If you intend to travel a lot with your laptop then make sure that it is sturdy enough to stand up to constant movement. Avoid flimsy hinges and catches which might break off in transit or if accidentally knocked.
• Also, if you intend to work a lot whilst travelling on the train for example then make sure that the pointing device can cope with vibration. Most notebooks are reasonably light but most require power leads and external mains transformers which can add weight.
• Specifications change so fast that yesterday’s top of the range computer quickly becomes tomorrow’s entry-level machine.
