Laptop Summery

WEEK FIVE


Hi!! Are you ok?


Today I will explain you something about laptops.
The first laptop was built in 1979 by William Moggridge of Grid Systems Corporation.
They are absolutely portables; moreover they don’t make so noise and use less
power than PC.
Therefore, the disadvantages are that they are a little slower and have less
graphics and sound processing power. Sometimes laptops are more expensive than PC or desktops.
Well, apart from this characteristics laptops and desktop have similarities. They have the same basic hardware, software and
operating systems. The primary difference is how their components fit together. PC include a motherboard, video card, hard drive and other components in a large case. The monitor, keyboard, and other peripherals connect wirelessly or with cables. Whether the case sits vertically or horizontally, it has lots of space for add-in cards, cables and air circulation.
On the other hand, laptops are lighter than the compact tower of PC, and they have all the peripheral are in the same laptop inside of one frame. It is to say, that the keyboard and the screen, loudspeaker are in the same frame. Their little size let the user to put it away in wherever place, and transport to
some place.
Some differences do that laptops are more expensive
than PC. These are:
· Produce less heat than desktop components
· Conserve power
· Fit into a compact space

In the world of the technology we have a new vocabulary with acronyms like:


- CPU: Central Processing Unit
- GPU: Graphics Processing Unit
- LCD: Liquid Crystal Display
- USB: Universal Serial Bus

Nowadays in the market exist a new product called Whitebook. This is like an electronic notebook. However, it has more options than a only notebook. It is a mixed between a laptop and a notebook. I think is an electronic notebook with some parts of the laptop software.

Well I hope you find this explanation very instructive.



See you soon!
