- Evolution of Laptops (Portable Computers) 1975 - 2020 #laptops #history #evolution #firstlaptop #computerhistory
The IBM 5100 was the first portable computer. . Here its shown powered on, and attached to an external monitor. Although weighing 55 pounds, it was much lighter and portable than previous computers.
The Xerox Note Taker was a bit more portable, and its keyboard folded out to reveal its screen. It employed what was then highly advanced technology, including 256 kB of RAM, and a 5 MHz Intel CPU.
Launched in April 1981. The Osborne 1 is recognized as the first laptop computer. It was the first commercially successful portable computer. Costing 18 hundred dollars, weighing 25 pounds, and shipping with a large bundle of software.
Later that year, Epson released a tiny battery powered portable computer, that traded screen size for convenience. It was hailed by BusinessWeek magazine as the, fourth revolution in personal computing.
The Grid Compass was the first portable computer that resembled our current laptops. Because of its high price and specialized application. It was mostly used by the US government. NASA used it on the Space Shuttle during the early 1980s, as it was both powerful and lightweight. And the special forces used them for their ruggedness, and use of solid state memory.
The TRS-80, sold through Radio Shack, was popular with journalists. They could type about 11 pages of text, and then transmit it for editing, using the built-in modem.
In 1984 the Commodore SX-64, was the first portable computer to feature a full-color display screen. It weighed about 20 pounds and sold for $995. It shipped with 64 kB of RAM and a 1 Mhz CPU. It did not sell particularly well, but became popular with user groups, and software developers. They could quickly pack, and unpack the machine, to use for copying software, or giving demonstrations.
The IBM PC Convertible, was the first laptop to use the 3½-inch floppy disk format. Which went on to become the industry standard. Like modern laptops, it featured power management. And the ability to run from batteries.
After the failure of their first laptop, Apple re-worked their concept, and released the PowerBook line in October 1991. They immediately caused a stir in the industry, with their dark grey cases, and the positioning of their pointing device.
In 1992, Olivetti developed and released the first laptop featuring a touchpad. The position near the base of the screen was the norm, as most applications were text based, and did not require a pointing device.
That same year, Olivetti released a smaller laptop. The Quadderno. Capable of audio recording, while the computer was off. And almost instant boot up. It shipped with a 16 Mhz CPU, 1MB of RAM, and 20MB of hard disk space.
The Concerto was the first convertible laptop. It had a detachable keyboard, pen, and touch screen. But the touch screen only worked with the special pen. Like today's tablets, most of the electronics, were housed with the screen. This laptop was definitely ahead of its time!
The TC11 hundred had a very unique design. It was a hybrid laptop which included a touch-screen, Stylus, and tablet mode. Unfortunately, Windows XP was not a touch friendly OS, hampering its success. Like the Concerto, this was another laptop that was ahead of its time.
ASUS released the 7 0 1 in October 2007, which was the first netbook on the market. It featured a 7 inch screen, an Intel Celeron-M processor, and a 4 gigabyte hard disk.
The Yoga 13 was one of the first modern hybrid laptops, taking advantage, of Windows 8 touch interface. The name Yoga, is a reference to the units design, which allows four different configurations.
The Razer Blade was the first true portable gaming laptop. At .9 inches thin, and weighing 6.5 pounds, the Blade Pro was the most portable 17-inch gaming laptop in its class.
The Yoga Book hybrid laptop, brought even more functionality in 2016. By using a digitizer panel as the keyboard, the user was able to draw, write, and type on the same panel. The trade-off was, the lack of haptic feel and feedback, when in keyboard mode.
The 2018 version of the Yoga Book now uses e-ink for the keyboard panel. e-Ink allows for a more natural drawing surface, and for custom input entry layouts, depending on the application being used. And most importantly, it allows for reading, without wasting any battery, or having to carry a second device.
Asus is currently working on Project PreCog, which consists of a dual monitor laptop, similar to the Yoga Book, but without the limitations of e-Ink. Both could be used as monitors, by connecting an external keyboard. Or both monitors can be used for gaming, or for presentations. In laptop mode, one monitor is used normally, while the other is used as the keyboard, or control panel.

That means not a single company or a single product brings the revolution, it just inspires others to go ahead.
Nope, only Intel, ASML, TSMC is not willing do do research or develop anything, rip it all !!!!
need some fabless crap ?
corruption, China freaks!
Why did it jump from 1993 to 2002? we have missed some of the best advancements.
yeah shit video he also forgot the dedicated gpu in gaming laptops and alienware first laptop with OLED
IBM Butterfly Keyboard
Why can’t every video on CZcams be perfect
Krispysback Your right it's not perfect but still worth mentioning as the creator could take the information to improve his next video. What was missed was some very important evolutions, and feedback is not a criticism its an observation that one of his potential subscribers has noticed a big gap in the information that was provided even though I still found the rest very interesting.
Mathew Johnston O I know, I’m not saying I don’t agree with you ; ) Iv been looking for a documentary program I saw on tv a while back about the history of TV sets but have been unsuccessful, the ones on CZcams are no where near as good
I’m scared of the day all computers have touchescreen keyboards..
Finally someone that agrees with me
It´s essentially going to be a big size touchpad with computer performance specification.
@so Noice at least the 3ds has buttons.
Me too. I like clicky buttons
yea theres gonna be none of the clicking and buton mashing sound and comfort
3:57 the og nintendo switch
Lol
Type of leak nobody would pay attention to but would actually become something in the future
You missed a lot of important early laptops:
- The first IBM ThinkPad
- The later ThinkPad with the "Butterfly" keyboard
- The first Toshiba clamshell models
- The first Compaq transportable and later 386 "lunchbox" model
- The KayPro
- The first MacBook Air
These were pretty significant.
I have what is considered the first true “battery powered laptop” which is a Toshiba T3100SX, I wish it worked
Yeah, the video was bizarre.
Totally agree...I am about to mention ThinkPad too...
8:00 *L A P T O P M O D E*

Imagine recording roblox on the first one 😂

It's not a laptop, neither is the Osborne, they are portables.
1:53 Never gets old
Man to think of how tiny their screens were and you couldn't stream, play games, listen to music, chat, you could hardly do anything on there. And looking back, I feel that we've forgotten how good our laptops are and often think they're not good enough. And look at the kind of laptops and computers we have now compared to the ones with the tiny little screens back then...
I really enjoyed the same 30-second music clip played over and over again throughout the video!
Old laptop: $1800
current laptop:$200-$400
Apple didn't learn that. The newest one goes higher than £2000
There are many Going Laptops that over $2000
In the Philippines, Normal Laptops costs around 20K Pesos to P30K pesos....

9:20 I never knew that this laptop ever existed
OMG, lol! That Compaq Concerto was the first laptop I ever owned! I had forgotten it looked like that, wow.
I was not aware of the Xerox note taker and noticed that it had a mouse. I did a search on the model and found there were only 10 prototypes built so this explains why I was not aware of it. Interesting that it used a version of the Smalltalk operating system. Would have been nice to see it in operation.

It is a great video. Good to know about aa lot of earlier versions of Laptop which I was not aware of. Great to see the innovation throughout the years. I give this video 9.5/10

a lot of missed information's !! from Sony Vaio , HP ... Samsung ...
...Acer aspire one...
also Dell. Dell produced many good old laptops with long battery life
Sony Vaio was top-notch late 90s
Thank you so much for this great video. It shows the actual evolution
I love the presentation! Nice style! Very informative . Thank you very much.
1970 Computer:We work
2020 MacBook:We have a touchbar
windows: we have gaming
Why is there some missing years on laptop history from 1992 to 2002? During this time there were alot of great innovations in laptop technologies that should definitely be acknowledged as well.
Our voting machines we used in the 2016 election was built in 2002 with Windows XP, they were hacked by the Russians in 2010 maybe sooner.
IBM PC Convertible : first convertible laptop ever.
The Psion MC400 was the first laptop to feature a touchpad, released in 1989.
I used a Datapoint 2200 (released in 1971) as a stand alone computer for many years. Its architecture led to the IBM PC more so than the 1975 entry by IBM mentioned.
8:35 Man I remember struggling on this side quest when I was playing Batman Arkham City on my Wii U. Good Times.
MAN I REMEMBER STRUGGLING THIS IN 2020 OMG
I'm 50 yrs old, i feel left behind, regarding technology. I used to program computer chips in the late 1980's. I have always had a computer since 1981, upgrading through the years until the home computer wars ended and everyone owns a PC. I struggled with various pc's from 2003 till 2018, upgrading until I realized a single core PC just wasn't enough. September 2018 I purchased a gaming computer , as have always loved gaming. OMG... Blown away. Technology is wonderful..... 4 years on am looking to upgrade again... Thank you for your video.
Thank you for the information.
I like how the laptops that we know today taken for granted is defined as a computer that runs without an external power source flow unless it´s for recharging the battery evolved from being what is by today´s standards a very beefy portable desktop that required an external power source but was unlike a desktop, it was designed to be a lot more portable around just to plug it in the wall and use.
funny considering we have modern laptops that cannot work at 100% power without being plugged in, bringing us right back we’re we started
The Lenovo Yoga 13 was mine. But it was damaged a lot after I tripped on the power cord. And after it was more damaged, the battery leaked but didn't catch fire, it had this function to not power anything on for safety.
your channel is awesome.

I like how the brand logo of the TV the Epson commercial was on was blurred out
The Toshiba Tecra 780DVD was also an incredible laptop, with removable drives and many ports with lids to protect them. It cost a fortune at that time.
If only someone had thought of this stuff in the 1800s we would be way more advanced now than we are.
