Laptop By : Chanel Walker

The laptop revolutionized the way people work & travel nearly as much as the first computer did. Allan Kay, who worked for XEROX PARC, first created the concept for the first laptop. He referred to it as the Dyna-Book. XEROX PARC did come up with a working model of the Xerox Note Taker in 1976 but it was not available to the public. The first laptop that was available to the public was the Osborne 1.The Osborne Computer Corporation released this model in 1981.

The Big Change The Apple laptop in comparison to the Osborne 1 is a LARGE difference which one would you rather choose, think about it a better laptop would be faster and quicker & with an old laptop, roaming on the internet would be almost impossible.

All there is to this old laptop is a few keys & a small screen would you buy that or would you buy this: With this sort of laptop every thing is better & quicker

The MacBook is a brand of notebook computers manufactured by Apple Inc. from early 2006 to late 2011, and relaunched in It replaced the iBook series and 12-inch PowerBook series of notebooks as a part of the Apple- Intel transition from PowerPC. Positioned as the low end of the MacBook family, below the premium ultra-portable MacBook Air and the powerful MacBook Pro, [3] the MacBook was aimed at the consumer and education markets. [4] It was the best-selling Macintosh ever. For five months in 2008, it was the best-selling laptop of any brand in US retail stores. [5] Collectively, the MacBook brand is the "world's top-selling line of premium laptops."

The original model used a combination of polycarbonate and fiberglass casing which was modeled after the iBook G4. The second type was introduced in October 2008 alongside the 15-inch MacBook Pro; the MacBook shared the more expensive laptop's unibody aluminum casing, but omitted FireWire, which hurt sales.

Hp laptops The Hewlett-Packard Company (commonly referred to as HP) was an American multinational information technology company headquartered in Palo Alto, California. It developed and provided a wide variety of hardware components as well as software and related services to consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors. multinationalinformationtechnology companyPalo AltoCaliforniaSMBs The company was founded in a one-car garage in Palo Alto by William "Bill" Redington Hewlett and David "Dave" Packard, and initially produced a line of electronic test equipment. HP was the world's leading PC manufacturer from 2007 to Q2 2013, after which Lenovo remained ranked ahead of HP. [2][3][4] It specialized in developing and manufacturing computing, data storage, and networking hardware, designing software and delivering services. Major product lines included personal computing devices, enterprise and industry standard servers, related storage devices, networking products, software and a diverse range of printers and other imaging products. HP marketed its products to households, small- to medium-sized businesses and enterprises directly as well as via online distribution, consumer- electronics and office-supply retailers, software partners and major technology vendors.

The Osborne Creations The Osborne 1 was the first commercially successful portable microcomputer, released on April 3, 1981 by Osborne Computer Corporation. It weighed 10.7 kg (24.5 lb), cost $1,795 USD, and ran the CP/M 2.2 operating system. Powered directly from a mains socket as it had no on- board battery, though it was still classed as a portable device as it could be packed away and transported by hand to another location.portable microcomputerOsborne Computer CorporationCP/M 2.2 operating systemmains socket The computer shipped with a large bundle of software that was almost equivalent in value to the machine itself, a practice adopted by other CP/M computer vendors at the time. Competitors such as the Kaypro II that used double sided drives and larger 9" screens that could hold a full 80x25 display quickly appeared.Kaypro II

All about the history of laptops As the personal computer (PC) became feasible in 1971, the idea of a portable personal computer followed. A "personal, portable information manipulator" was imagined by Alan Kay at Xerox PARC in 1968, [5] and described in his 1972 paper as the "Dynabook". [6]Alan KayXerox PARC [5]Dynabook [6] The IBM Special Computer APL Machine Portable (SCAMP) was demonstrated in This prototype was based on the IBM PALM processor. [7]IBM PALM processor [7] The IBM 5100, the first commercially available portable computer, appeared in September 1975, and was based on the SCAMP prototype. [8] As 8-bit CPU machines became widely accepted, the number of portables increased rapidly. The Osborne 1, released in 1981, used the Zilog Z80 and weighed 23.6 pounds (10.7 kg). It had no battery, a 5 in (13 cm) CRT screen, and dual 5.25 in (13.3 cm) single-density floppy drives. In the same year the first laptop-sized portable computer, the Epson HX-20, was announced. [9] The Epson had a LCD screen, a rechargeable battery, and a calculator-size printer in a 1.6 kg (3.5 lb) chassis. Both Tandy/RadioShack and HP also produced portable computers of varying designs during this period. [10][11]IBM 5100 [8]Osborne 1CRTEpson HX-20 [9]LCDTandy/RadioShackHP [10][11] The first laptops using the flip form factor appeared in the early 1980s. The Dulmont Magnum was released in Australia in 1981–82, but was not marketed internationally until 1984–85. The US$8,150 (US$19,980 today) GRiD Compass 1100, released in 1982, was used at NASA and by the military among others. The Gavilan SC, released in 1983, was the first computer described as a "laptop" by its manufacturer. [12] From 1983 onward, several new input techniques were developed and included in laptops, including the touchpad (Gavilan SC, 1983), the pointing stick (IBM ThinkPad 700, 1992) and handwriting recognition (Linus Write-Top, [13] 1987). Some CPUs, such as the 1990 Intel i386SL, were designed to use minimum power to increase battery life of portable computers and were supported by dynamic power management features such as Intel SpeedStep and AMD PowerNow! in some designs.flip form factor Dulmont MagnumGRiD Compass 1100NASAGavilan SC [12]touchpadGavilan SCpointing stickThinkPad [13]i386SLSpeedStepPowerNow! Displays reached VGA resolution by 1988 (Compaq SLT/286), and colour screens started becoming a common upgrade in 1991 with increases in resolution and screen size occurring frequently until the introduction of 17"-screen laptops in Hard drives started to be used in portables, encouraged by the introduction of 3.5" drives in the late 1980s, and became common in laptops starting with the introduction of 2.5" and smaller drives around 1990; capacities have typically lagged behind physically larger desktop drives. Optical storage, read-only CD-ROM followed by writeable CD and later read-only or writeable DVD and Blu-ray, became common in laptops early in the 2000s.read-onlyCD-ROMBlu-ray
