LAPTOP NOTEBOOK
|
A laptop computer or simply laptop (also notebook
computer or notebook) is a small mobile personal computer, usually
weighing from one to three kilograms, depending on size, materials and
other factors. |

The first Apple Computer machine designed to
be used on the go was the 1989 Macintosh Portable (although an LCD screen
had been an option for the transportable Apple IIc in 1984). Actually a
"luggable", the Mac Portable was praised for its clear active matrix
display and long battery life, but was a poor seller due to its bulk. In
the absence of a true Apple laptop, several compatible machines such as
the Outbound Laptop were available for Mac users; however, for copyright
reasons, the user had to supply a set of Mac ROMs, which usually meant
having to buy a new or used Macintosh as well. |
