It’s very common for us all to use Laptops. The standard tower system is pretty much redundant. Now, the components for most home computers are housed within the actual monitor screen greatly reducing the amount of space the PC takes up. However, this is increasingly a rare way to use the computer in the family home. It’s now much more common to use a laptop, especially after the recent pandemic. These book-like computers have changed the way we work forever. Where do they come from? If you need a new one then there are plenty of Refurbished Laptops at https://www.refurbishedlaptops.co.uk/.
The first Laptop was invented way back in 1982 in Australia. This was the work of David Irwin and John Blair. They theorised that a mobile computer was much better than a static system. The Delmont-Magnum, as it was called, was lighter on battery use than is traditionally thought and it was quite powerful. It came with MS-DOS, the forerunner of Windows, and could be expanded to use floppy disks and have increased memory. Crucially, the screen would fold down onto the Keyboard so that it was protected and compact.
The Gavilan SC was one of the first real laptops that we would recognise. All of its systems were internal including a floppy disk system and the forerunner of a touchpad mouse. There were plenty of mobile microcomputers before these two systems were developed but in terms of a true laptop, as we would know them, these are the first two.
