DESIGNING PORTABLE COMPUTERS

This topic explores the process of conceiving, engineering, and designing portable computers. Since 1968, when Alan Kay first conceived of the portable computer, inventors, engineers, and designers have been on a quest to design smaller, more powerful, and easier-to-use portable devices. Notebook computers have been refined to the point where very powerful computers can be packaged in very small containers. Now the challenge is to make smartphones the personal computer of the 21st Century.
