The First Laptop? Maybe or


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.

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.

Eee Keyboard


Asus has rolled out (at long last, after numerous delays) its EeeKeyboard PC — this is a fully-functional PC that looks
like your standard keyboard at first glanced, but you will be pleasantly surprised to know that there is a svelte and
stylish keyboard concealed within. It has been a long time in coming, having been first unveiled at CES back in 2009,
taking its own sweet time to hit the streets. Tipping the scales at a mere 1kg, the EeeKeyboard PC is capable of
functioning with virtually any HDTV, monitor, or projector in order for it to function as a full-fledged PC. Users
will be able to enjoy a wireless computing platform via the EeeKeyboard PC thanks to its Ultra-wideband (UWB) Wireless
Display connectivity that lets you stream HD 720p videos up to a 5-meter range, while hitting a maximum 10-meter range
where non-video transfers are concerned. Apart from that, you also get a built-in 5? multi-touch panel that offers users
with an interactive and intuitive means of directing the on-screen cursor to launch programs, send instant messages, and
control its media player.

Folks who want to save space on their desktop will definitely find the EeeKeyboard PC a suitable purchase, where it
can also double up as a family multimedia entertainment center – all you need to do is hook it up with a monitor in
the study or office and let it run the course as a standard PC, while others can always hook it up to a projector in a
conference room for presentations. Features include a durable and shock-proof solid state drive that makes sure that all
your data stored within will remain safe during transit, coupled with integrated conveniences including the microphone and
high quality stereo speakers, letting you enjoy EeeKeyboard PC’s full range of features without the need to fork out more
dough for additional accessories.

Among the specifications of the EeeKeyboard PC include :-

* Windows XP Home
* 5? 800×480 Multi-touch Panel
* Intel Atom N270
* 945GSE/ICH7-M chipset
* 1GB on-board memory
* 16GB/32GB SSD
* Ultra-wideband Technology
* 802.11b/g/n @2.4GHz connectivity
* 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connection
* Bluetooth V2.1
* Internal battery (up to 4 hours)
* Broadcom 70010/70012 multimedia decoder

Of course, the battery life stated here is pretty weak when you think about it, hence you might want to keep it
connected to a power outlet at all times just in case you run out of juice during the most inopportune moments.

Desktop Computers


When you’re a seasoned gamer, you know exactly what to expect in games and what hardware you need…. or want for that matter. It’s not such a surprise then that most gamers tend to assemble their own PCs because they want to have control of the specs of their system. Pre-assembled desktops however, don’t really offer that flexibility. The price might be affordable, but the items inside may not be what you want. And more often than not, thesedesktops come with more unwanted components than outstanding ones. But here we have something that may change that general perception. Acer sent in the Aspire G7700, otherwise known as the Predator.

Computer letest netbook


Recently, there has been a sudden trend for netbooksand BenQ is one of the last few to enter the netbook market. Although frankly, there isn’t much that can be said about the specifications since every other 10-inch netbook has the same processor, RAM and operating system, BenQ has to find a way to market their Joybook Lite U101 that differentiates itself from the rest.
Battery life is always the Achilles heel of portable device and it’s more apparent when it comes to notebooks, or in this case, netbooks. Asus targeted at this and came out with the Eee PC 1000HE.

This webcam, in its compact design, offers people quick access to common features such as a snapshot button and a focus ring, which helps people to obtain better image clarity.

Computer New graphic card


All the while, gamers were only concerned about whether a graphics card could deliver the power they needed for the latest games. But after one need is satisfied, another comes up. It wasn’t just performance that gamers were bothered with, now there was the issue of overheating, design, noise, etc. Come today, people are now more inclined to tweak their own cards to boost performance. It was this that gave birth to the Republic of Gamers by ASUS. This month we get our hands on the 9600GT Matrix from the ROG series!

Intel And Other Computer Solid State Devises



OCZ Technology Group, Inc., a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high performance and high reliability memory and computer components, today unveiled the OCZ Core Series SATA II 2.5” Solid State Drives (SSDs). OCZ has gained momentum in this pioneering technology, which uses NAND flash instead of rotating platters as the storage medium, and is a high-performance, highly reliable and energy-efficient alternative to conventional hard disc drives.
