History of Laptops from the Weight
History of Laptops: All about the Weight
do you have a laptop? maybe you have, but whether do you know about history of laptop. in my site i will discuss about history of laptop in term of weight.
1990: Macintosh Portable (15.8 Lbs)
The Macintosh Portable was apples first attempt at creating a portable PC with Macintosh desktop capabilities. The Mac Portable weighed 15.8 pounds, due to the large lead-acid batteries used to power the unit and its features are nothing spectacular either. The Portable had a 16 Mhz CPU and 1 Mb of Ram, which was expandable up to 9 Mb. The Apple "luggable" was quite costly with a price of $6,500, however the luxury of a full travel keyboard, and battery life was up to 12 hours doesn't give credence to exorbitant cost. The Mac Portable had a standard 1.44 MB floppy disk drive, but these added features still resulted in disappointing sale numbers for the unit.
1996: IBM Thinkpad 560 (4 Lbs)
Some feel the Thinkpad 560 led the way for a variety of modern day laptops with its 12 inch screen and full-size keyboard. It was a pioneering 4lbs and was only 1.2 inches think. It sported a sizeable 8MB of Ram, which was impressive for the time. The 560 had 810 MB of memory and a 1.44 MB external floppy hard drive. The small battery used to reduced weight had a fatal flaw in the design and only allowed for roughly 2 hours of battery during standard computing, however the features it supported were truly innovative with an attachable CD drive and integrated microphone.
2002: Compaq Evo N800c (6.6 Lbs)
The Compaq Evo N800c has a large 15.1 LCD screen and was thought of as the perfect portable for students in its debuting year. Its features include: 256 MB DDR SDRAM, 60 GB Hard Drive, and two 2.0 USB ports. The unit's design showed how thin and light a powerful laptop could be and the High-end graphics provided a dazzling display of new technology. The mediocre weight of 6.6 pounds enabled easy transportation. The Evo Notebook N800c provides up to 4 hours of battery life using the standard 8-cell Lithium-Ion battery in "normal" conditions. The Evo N800c was reasonably priced and sold very well to the members of the realm of academia.
