What You Can Expect From A Laptop Notebook

It is amazing how technology has changed in only a few short years. When portable computers first came out they were the size of a suitcase, heavy as anything, slower than molasses in winter time, and you couldn’t connect a thing to them. Now they are called a laptop notebook computer and it is absolutely amazing what you can do with a laptop notebook computer today compared to just a few years ago.

Now you edit a movie, create music, burn a CD, burn a DVD, create a document and then connect to the internet out of thin air on a laptop notebook computer of today. Speaking as someone who remembers clearly the way the laptop notebook computer evolved and grew up I can tell you that it is nothing short of amazing.

Each new advance in technology is always met with fanfare created by the manufacturers of the technology in an attempt to sell their new products. In the case of the laptop notebooks each new advance was treated as though we were almost ready to walk on Mars and it was amazing to watch the laptop notebooks grow up. I remember when color screens were introduced, and then 3 ½” floppy drives were put on the laptop notebooks, and I remember the day that the CD-Rom drive was finally made available on the laptop notebooks. You would have thought that the Second Coming was happening and it was exciting and fun to watch.

Now It Is All About Price

I also remember when only corporations and very well off people could even think about owning one of these laptop notebooks because they were so prohibitively expensive when they first came out. A portable computer was easily twice as much, if not three times as much, as a desktop computer that could usually do more anyways. But now that the prices on components are coming down so are the prices on the portables and their functionality is making it really hard to justify having desktops anymore.

The computer industry is changing and when it used to be that desktops ruled and laptop notebooks were a luxury well now that has changed and desktops could become the minority soon. In this hurry up and go society it may be the portable computer that becomes the norm in a very short time and then you can not only take your work home with you but it will also make working from home in general a lot easier.
