Analysis on Laptop


Just about as many homes today have computers as televisions and nearly all businesses are online. With the dawning and advancement of the computer age has come the inevitable shrinking and mobilization of computers. It's just the nature of technology, the same thing happened with telephones. Just like cell phones have become more popular than landlines, laptop computers are becoming more popular than desktop computers. There are several reasons for the laptop popularity.
Mobile people need mobile computers. If you, or your employees, have to spend much time traveling, it is impossible to work from a desktop computer that is stationary. By using a laptop, however, work can be done from virtually anywhere and work requiring the use of the internet can be done anywhere there is a wireless signal. Mobile technology is just as important in computing as it is in communications. Think of how lost you would be if you were still tied to a landline all of the time. The desktop computer is analogous to a landline telephone that is attached to a wall.
Talking about the history of laptop’s it is a little hard to determine what the first portable was or laptop computer, the first portable computers did not look like the book-sized and folding laptops that we are familiar with today, however, they were both portable and lapsable, and lead to the development of notebook style laptops. I have outlined several potential firsts below and how each qualifies, many of the off-site links provide good photos of the computers that will let you see the progression in design. The first laptop might have been designed in 1979 by a Briton, William Moggridge, for Grid Systems Corporation, the Grid Compass was one fifth the weight of any model equivalent in performance and was used by NASA on the space shuttle program in the early 1980's. A 340K byte bubble memory lap-top computer with die-cast magnesium case and folding electroluminescent graphics display screen.
Gavilan Computer as the First Laptop
Manny Fernandez had the idea for a well-designed laptop for executives who were starting to use computer. Fernandez, who started Gavilan Computer, promoted his machines as the first "laptop" computers in May 1983. Many historians consider the Gavilan as the first fully functional laptop computer.
The First Laptop Computer - Osborne 1
The computer considered by most historians to be the first true portable computer was the Osborne 1. Adam Osborne, an ex-book publisher founded Osborne Computer and produced the Osborne 1 in 1981, a portable computer that weighed 24 pounds and cost $1795. The Osborne 1 came with a five-inch screen, modem port, two 5 1/4 floppy drives, a large collection of bundled software programs, and a battery pack. The short-lived computer company was never successful.



Now with the help of these laptops you can connect to your desktop from your laptop. New technology enables laptop users to connect to their desktop computers from remote locations. This technological development has made the laptop an even greater tool than it already was. By connecting to the desktop, you can download information from the laptop, which saves memory space on the smaller RAM laptops. You can also access all the information and network connections that are contained on your desktop. The ability to access desktops from laptops gives you the best that both the desktop and the laptop have to offer. It is like having your desktop, right in your lap!
You can use a laptop in any where you like honestly even while in bus or Bart. I don’t know about others but it definitely works out for me. My battery gives about 4 to 5 hours of power and that makes me able to plenty of assignments done from any location. The ability to use a laptop computer far away from any power source is, in my opinion, one of the greatest advantages. You don't need any sort of a signal or anything, just a charged battery. You don't even need a light! That’s a best advantage of it for people like me from Nepal because back home we have about 5 to 6 hrs loadsheding a day. So this technology helps us complete our assignment in time in spite of hours of load shedding.
There are fewer connections on a lap top-even low-tech people who don't know how to run a DVD player can use a laptop computer. If you use the batteries, the laptop doesn't even require a cord. However, most of the time you will probably have your laptop plugged into a power source. This is a one-connection deal. The cord goes into the computer and the plug goes into a socket on the wall; no fuss, no muss. Look at the maze of cords used to run your desktop computer, your keyboard, monitor, tower, printer, speakers, DSL modem, etc. all have wires connecting to each other in one way or another. It can be complex. Minimize complexity in your life by minimizing cords and connections-check out laptop technology.
Spend less time transferring files-before getting a laptop I was always transferring files and emailing documents to myself so I would be sure to have them on whatever computer I ended up using. That worked fine as long as I could get a connection. Now, I just use my laptop computer and take all of my files with me all of the time. I used to juggle my home computer and my school computer and I would often hear myself say, "That's on another computer; I'll send it to you later". Well, those days are over. With the laptop, all documents are with me all the time.
