A laptop is a portable personal computer that can be powered either from the mains or from built-in rechargeable batteries. Its main advantage over a stationary PC is its mobility and light weight, which gives its owner the ability to work independently.
The first ideas for creating a laptop were expressed in 1968. And in 1979, by order of the American space agency NASA, specialists from Grid Systems created the world's first laptop. Of course, its characteristics at the present time will cause only a condescending grin, but then it was a truly revolutionary breakthrough. This laptop was used in the Space Shuttle program. In 1990, Intel created the first dedicated processor for mobile personal computers. She also managed to significantly increase the battery life due to technology that allowed to reduce the supply voltage. And from that time on, new laptop models began to appear one after another. Each of the subsequent models had the best characteristics in many respects. The main disadvantages of laptops, compared to stationary PCs, are the high price and significantly lower power. However, Eurocom recently released a laptop that can rightfully be considered the most powerful laptop in the world. With overall dimensions of 42 * 29 * 2.4 cm and a weight of 3.5 kg, a laptop based on an Intel Core i7-3920XM Extreme Edition processor has DDR3 @ 1600 MHz RAM up to 32 GB, three mSATA drives with RAID 0/1 / 5/10, Blu-ray optical drive, MXM 3.0b dual graphics format. The laptop screen, with a diagonal of 17.3 inches (51.04 cm), has either a glossy or matte finish. The owner of this device can use various graphics subsystems, for example, AMD Radeon HD 7970M. Sound Card - Sound Blaster X-Fi MB2. The keyboard has LED backlighting. The laptop is cooled by two built-in fans and a copper piping system to dissipate excess heat. According to the unanimous opinion of experts, currently no other laptop model in the world can compete with the brainchild of Eurocom.
