1.1 HISTORY OF LAPTOP

It is very difficult to say when the firstportablecomputerwas created. This is because the first laptop

did not look the same as we know it today. It could not be folded. The first laptop was probably invented

in 1979 by William Moggridge. He developed his portable computer forGrid Systems Corporation. His

computer was five times lighter than any other computer used at that time. Historians, however consider

that the first laptop was created in 1981 and its name was Osborne 1. Its inventor was Adam Osborne

who was also a former cool publisher. He was the founder of Osborne Computer. His portable computer

weighed 24 pounds. The company spent 1795 US dollars on creating the computer. It had a five inch

screen a special place for a modem and two devices for using a floppy disk. There were also several

programs designed for computer and a battery pack for providing energy. The computer however, was

not successful. The same year saw the birth of another computer called Epson HX-20. it was portable

computer with a liquid crystal display LCD monitor. The computer included a built in printer. The

whole was battery powered. One year later, in 1982, two computer designers from Microsoft Kazuhiko

Nishi and Bill Gates, started their discussion concerning a new portable computer. The main thing about

the computer was a new LCD technology. The prototype of the new laptop was presented to Radio

Shack. The latter agreed to start the production of the computer. A year later company

Launched its TRS-80 model 100, which was a computer that looked pretty much like a laptop we know

it today.

Laptops usually run on a single mainbattery or from an external AC/DC adapterthat charges the battery

while also supplying power to the computer itself. Many computers also have a 3 volt cell to run theclock and other processes in the event of a power failure.

Laptops contain components that are similar to their desktop counterparts and perform the same

functions, but are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use and efficient power consumption,

Although typically less powerful for the same price. Laptops usually have liquid crystal displays and

most of them use different memory modules for theirrandom access memory (RAM), for instance, SO-

DIMM in lieu of the largerDIMMs. In addition to a built-in keyboard, they may utilize a touchpad (alsoknown as a trackpad) or apointing stickfor input, though an external keyboard ormouse can usually be

attached.It is a little hard to determine what was the first portable or laptop computer, the first portable

computers did not look like the book-sized and folding laptops that we are familiar with today, however,

they were both portable and lapable, and lead to the development of notebook style laptops. I have

outlined several potential firsts below and how each qualifies, many of the off-site links provide good

photos of the computers that will let you see the progression in design.

In this day and age, computer technology develops so rapidly that it seems there is no end to the

possibilities of the miracle machine. Computers, once monstrous behemoths that could dominate whole

rooms, can now be compacted into lightweight, portable notebook systems. The laptop computer was

likely unimaginable when computers were first created more than 60 years ago, but today it features

incredible technology in a very small package.

The Idea Is Born

The idea of a portable, technically complete computer system was first conceived of as early as the

1970s. While the technology of the laptop would not be feasible until the next decade, researchers at

Xerox were experimenting with a type of portable computer, called the Dynabook, in the late 1960s and

early 1970s (Wurster 2001). The Dynabook was intended to be a type of tablet computer (with a screen

that did not fold down as the screens of most modern laptop computers do) that could run on nearly

eternal battery life. Unfortunately, technology in the

1970s was not advanced enough to support this idea, and the concept of the Dynabook was never

developed into an operational unit.

Earliest Laptops:

Portable computers first became commercially available in 1981 with the Osborne 1 system (Wilson

2006). This computer was about the size of a portable sewing machine, featured a tiny monitor, and

could not be run on battery power. However, it revolutionized the business world, allowing business

professionals to carry their computer data with them for the first time, even on airplanes. But due to the

unwieldy size of the Osborne I and its inability to run on battery power, the system never really took off

in the commercial market, though it would remain a vanguard of technological advances to come. The

first true laptop computer, which featured a flat display screen that could fold down on the keyboard,

was introduced in 1982. Termed the GRID Compass, the computer featured the clamshell design that is

still used for most modern laptops and could be run on battery power (Wilson 2006). However, its

incredibly high price and IBM incompatibility limited its attractiveness in the commercial market, and it

was used primarily by only the U.S. military and NASA.

IBM-Compatible Laptops: Despite the relative success of some early laptops and the clamor by

business people for more portable computers, laptop producers encountered some difficulty gaining

overall popularity for their systems that were not IBM compatible. Because IBM was the major platform

for most desktop computers, it became essential that laptop computers were IBM compatible in order to

promote the transfer of data from one computer to another. To fulfill this need, two IBM-compatible

laptops were launched in 1986 and 1987 to moderate success (Wilson 2006). Produced by IBM and

Toshiba, the units were fairly limited in their operating capabilities but they were light enough to be

carried in a backpack, could be run on batteries, and included a pause feature that allowed users to

resume work between sessions without restarting. While the IBM-compatible systems were useful, they

were still limited in their viability and did not experience large-scale commercial success.

Laptops Experience True Success: By 1987, several laptop manufacturers had emerged on the

market, and competition was fierce to produce the first, truly successful laptop computer. In that year, acontract from the United States Air Force for the purchase of 200,000 laptops was up for grabs, and

computer manufacturers competed heavily to win the contract. Each company rushed to develop

prototypes that would secure the deal, with Zenith Data Systems (ZDS) eventually emerging as the

victor. On the strength of the contract from the Air Force, ZDS became the largest manufacturer of

laptop computers in the late 1980s (Wilson 2006).

In order to capitalize on its leadership role, ZDS partnered with a Japanese equipment supplier that

would speed the design and manufacturing process of its laptop computers. Soon, other laptop

manufacturers followed suit and began working with Japanese equipment suppliers. However, as

Japanese currency became stronger in the early 1990s, the profit margin of U.S. companies decreased,

and many manufacturers began to turn to Taiwan as the major source of equipment (Wurster

2001). Companies that formed partnerships with Taiwanese suppliers (including Dell, Gateway, and

Micron) quickly began to rise to leadership positions in the laptop market. By this time, laptop

computers had become quite popular among business people, and suppliers rushed to furnish the

growing market with lighter, faster, and more viable machines.

Microsoft Standardizes the Laptop : Perhaps the most significant event in the history of laptop

computers was the release of the Windows 95 operating system by Microsoft in 1995 (Wurster

2001). Prior to this, operating systems for laptops varied widely, and suppliers experienced a great

amount of flexibility in the design of their computers. The introduction of Windows 95 as the most



5/37

prominent operating system served to standardize and stabilize most aspects of laptop design. It was also

during this year that CD-ROM drives, Intel Pentium processors, and floppy disk drives became standard

features on nearly all laptops. Leading laptop suppliers like Dell, Gateway, and Toshiba quickly released

models that complied with the expected features of a standard laptop computer.

As technology has developed since 1995, the popularity and viability of laptop computers have greatly

increased. Improved battery life, displays, processors, and network connectivity have all served to

increase the ubiquity of laptop computers. Today, the average laptop computer is a far cry from the

heavy, bulky portable computers of the early 1980s. Indeed, there is no telling how the laptop will

continue to develop in future years as computing technology advances.

1.2 INTRODUCTION OF LAPTOP COMPUTER

A laptop computer, or simply laptop is a small mobile computer, which usually weighs 2-18 pounds

(around 1 to 8 kilograms), depending on size, materials, and other factors. Laptops usually run on a

single main battery or from an external AC/DC adapter which can charge the battery while also

supplying power to the computer itself.

As personal computers, laptops are capable of the same tasks as a desktop computer, although they are

typically less powerful for the same price. They contain components that are similar to their desktop

counterparts and perform the same functions. Laptops usually have liquid crystal displays and most of

them use different memory modules for theirrandom access memory (RAM), for instance In addition to

a built-in keyboard, they may utilize a touchpad (also known as a trackpad) or apointing stickfor input,

though an external keyboard ormouse can usually be attached.

Introduction of Acer laptop

Acer is a Taiwanese multinational electronics manufacturer. It owns the largest franchised computer

retail chain in Taiwan, Acer land. Acer's product lineup includes desktop and mobile PCs (laptops), as

well as storage, displays, peripherals, and e-business solutions for business, government, education, andhome users. In 2000, Acer spun off its manufacturing operation (as Weston Corporation) to focus itself

on branding business. In deciding to support the sales of its product lines through specific marketing

activities that best utilize distribution channels, Acer grew worldwide while its labor force contracted.

Acer's North American market share slipped over the past few years while the European market share

has gone up

Compaq was founded in February 1982 by Rod Canion, Jim Harris and Bill Murto, three senior

managers from semiconductor manufacturer Texas Instruments. Each invested $1,000 to form the

company. Their first venture capital came from Ben Rosen and Sevin-Rosen partners. Like many small

startups with unique beginnings, the original Compaq PC was first sketched out on a placemat by the

founders while dining in a local Houston restaurant, House of Pies.

In November 1982 Compaq announced their first product, the Compaq Portable, a portable IBM PC

compatible personal computer. It was released in March 1983 considerably more affordable than

competitors at the time. The Compaq Portable was one of the progenitors of today's laptop. It was the

second IBM PC compatible, being capable of running all software that would run on an IBM PC. The

Compaq Portable was the first in the range of the Compaq Portable series. Compaq was able to market a

legal IBM clone because IBM mostly used "off the shelf" parts for theirPC. Furthermore, Microsoft hadkept the right to license the operating system to other computer manufacturers.

Lenovo Group Limited is today the fourth largest personal computermanufacturer in the world, after

Hewlett-Packard and Dell of the US, and Acerof Taiwan. Lenovo produces desktop, laptop, servers,

handheld, imaging equipment, and mobile phone handsets. Lenovo also provides information

technology integration and support services, and its QDI unit offers contract manufacturing. Lenovo also

offers Internet access through its FM365.com portal.

The Hewlett Packard Company was found in a Palo Alto garage by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, the

two classmates from Stand ford University in 1939. Originally the company was involved in

manufacturing a wide range of electronic products for industry and even agriculture, but from 1940s to

1990s it spun-off its operations focusing on making signal generators, voltmeters, oscilloscopes,

counters, and other test equipment. In 1995, Hewlett-Packard introduced a line of personal computers

known as HP Pavilion (applied to both desktops and laptops product range). It is unusual because most

manufacturers treat their desktop and laptop products as separate product lines.

The Pavilion comes with a CD-RW drive and a DVD drive. The drives have automatic doors that open

and close when you push a button on the hardware box. Their operation is very smooth although the

doors consist of flimsy plastic bits. The keyboard is a bit smaller than others but functional. The mouse

has two buttons and a scroll wheel, and it is fairly generic . Windows is preloaded on the computer and

consumers get a Word perfect, for word processing which claims to be compatible with MS Word .

There is some additional software from HP to manage photos. This is a great machine which is fast and

handles programs well and is really a great experience, especially considering the price.

HP Pavilion has all the features as in any desktop and is the perfect choice for daily needs. Configuring

dedicated graphics card, loading multiple web pages and streaming video, all without slowing the hard

drive. And yes, it gives the great convenience of wireless mobility and Imprint finish for style and

durability. The innovative design enables consumers to enjoy the best entertainment and productivity

experience. The hp pavilion notebooks are available in the following series. They are dv8000 series,

dv5000 series, dv2000 series and dv1000t.

1.6 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The Laptop Computers provide historic evidence of the RTA's adoption of new technologies at an early

stage and are symbolic of the level of technical input and technological support associated with the

design and operation of roads and bridges. They provide evidence of the long-standing use of technical

computing equipment by the RTA and are amongst the earliest surviving portable computers acquired

by the RTA. They symbolize, for RTA Staff, the leaps in technology that accompanied the late twentieth

century and the impact that these changes had upon work practices. The housing of the units illustrates

packaging and presentation techniques for technical instruments of the period.

2.1 LITERATURE REVIEW

Laptop sales in India are at an all time high, due to the recent growth of a new breed of technology

conscious IT users. There has been a drastic shift in working environments coupled with a lifestyle

which is always on the move. Besides the work-related market, various other segments are capitalizing

on these handy portable computers. A large number of households and students are using these portable

PCs for entertainment and study purposes respectively.

Laptops are popularly used in India more for their portability rather than mobility. Portability has

become the number one factor as to why more Indians are buying these portable PCs. The laptop market

in 2007 saw a significant growth to 84.8 per cent. Seen as just the right size to fit on someones lap,

laptops are taking the Indian market by storm and are certainly giving desktop computers a run for their

money. Desktop computers and laptops have been available in the Indian market for a long time. Yet

industry experts are wondering as to how notebooks have made this country of a billion plus population

sit up and take notice? One of the reasons could be the steady drop in pricing for a laptop compared to

desktop computers whose prices still remain expensive. Prices are being slashed by multinational

players along with local manufacturers. Another reason for this surge in the desktoplaptop market is the

growth of new professions, which involves a lot of creativity and design needed for anytime-anywhere

access.

Convenience and flexibility could be other reasons why laptops are selling out fast in the Indian market.When people in India started using mobile phones to connect to the internet, the industry realized that

mobility played a huge role in Indian businesses. With the government focusing on IT infrastructure and

bringing in technologies like WAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and others, there was an urgent need to fill the gap

between technology and people using it. This was a role which was unfulfilled by desktop computers.

Home computers are slowly become pass with laptops flooding the market. The drive in the Indian

market over the use of laptops can finally be compared to global sales of laptops.

With the work scenario changing and offices getting paperless, more and more computers have been

installed in companies. Infact a sizable amount of every fast growing organisation is invested in

computers. The growth is so tremendous that computer institutions are thriving on individuals who want

to learn the technology whether they are freshers or on the job.



16/37

Also as the work scenario is getting profound with working hours, more and more people are working

from home. So either the organisation invests in laptops, so that their employees are contactable at any

point of time or employees themselves invest in laptops so that they can continue work even from home.

So the overall scenario has given thumbs up to laptops and they are certainly not going out of popularity

for many more years to come. Its not far that it becomes a basic necessity of every home.

2.2 RESEARCH METHODOLGY

The research on the A market survey on USE & PERCEPTION OF LAPTOPS was totally based on the

performance level of the products of different companies available in the market. For the collection of

data (primary and secondary data) I had to meet with the enough number of businessman & students

which give me an

Idea to arrive at an approximate conclusion. Research in common parlance refers to a search for

knowledge. One can also define research as a scientific search for pertinent on a specific topic. In fact,

research is an academic activity & as such the term should be used in a technical sense. According to

Clifford woody research comprises defining & redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or

suggested solutions: collecting, organizing & evaluating data: making deductions & reaching

conclusions.

So the process of research is :

Identification of problem

Formulating a hypothesis

Collecting of data

3.1 FINDINGS & SUGGESSIONS

The following are the things that should be kept in mind while purchasing laptop

Laptop Size:

If you do lots of traveling, you may want to consider an ultra portable or thin and light laptop computer.

But with increased portability, you may have to make some technical compromises--a smaller LCD

screen, less power, possibly an external rather than integrated DVD/CD drive. If you demand all the

characteristics of a desktop PC, you should consider a more powerful all-in-one system. These 'desktop

replacement laptops' have a sad battery life, but come with the fastest processors, widescreen displays,

and DVD-RW drives. These powerhouses run in the 8 to 15 pound range.

Laptop Processor Facts:

In the Windows-equipped arena, both Intel and AMD provide low-power, energy-efficient processors

with their mobile (M) models designed to reduce heat and prolong battery life without sacrificing power.

Intel's Centrino technology has advanced laptop performance while greatly increasing battery life.

As far as Apple's portables are concerned, both i-Book and PowerBook now include Apple's G4

processor, and the latest 1.5GHz G4's provide the best options in portability and sheer power.

Personally, if I was contemplating a laptop computer buy in the near future, it would be a Centrino

model.

Laptop LCD Viewing Screens:

There is no longer any need to settle for a subpar 14-inch LCD with a maximum resolution of 1024x768

pixels. Larger 15-inch displays offer a more desktop-like viewing experience (with higher resolutions),

while widescreen 16-inch and 17-inch displays are now here, supporting resolutions as high as

1680x1050.

Laptop Computer Graphics:

Poor graphics performance has often held laptops back from vying with desktop computers. If you

demand extra multimedia performance for game play, watching movies, or video / photo editing, ATI's

new Mobility Radeon 9200 and 9600 have provided the best laptop solution to date, along with



28/37

NVIDIA's DirectX9-compliant GeForce FX5200 and FX5600 Go GPU's. Integrated graphics (also

referred to a shared video memory) is standard on many different laptop computer models and delivers

barely average performance--suitable for office use, but not much more.

Laptop Computer Memory (RAM):

This is a very important laptop computer purchase decision. Like hard drive size, the amount of memory

you need is dependent on what you will spend most of your time doing with your laptop. Most new

laptops come equipped with 512MB of RAM, and considering most of today's applications, I wouldn't

settle for anything less. It will slow you down.

Laptop Hard Drives:

Consider a 30 to 40GB as minimum size. Larger capacity drives--60GB to 80GB--are often available on

the bigger machines and considering a laptop's poor upgrade potential; the larger the hard drive the

better.

Laptop Battery Life:

For quite some time Apple laptops have subdued their PC rivals in terms of battery life, but Intel's

Centrino technology is fast catching up, and it enables Windows-powered laptops to last up to five hours

on a single charge. Some laptops also include 'media-bays', allowing you to replace the optical drive

with a second battery to extend your battery run time.

Wireless Networking:

The majority of laptops come with a 56K modem and a 10/100 Ethernet port for cable/DSL connectivity

as standard. All Centrino-based laptops feature 802.11b/g modules for wireless networking, but Wi-Fi is

not standard on all machines, so study the laptop computer spec sheet carefully. Similarly, Bluetooth can

also be found on some models although mostly as an optional extra. All of Apple's laptops are Wi-Fi

compatible, although you may need to buy a separate Airport (802.11b) or Airport Extreme (802.11g)

card.



29/37

Laptop Optical Drives:

Most new laptop computer models now come with a combo DVD/CD-RW optical drive. More and more

of these DVD/CD-RW drives are being replaced with DVD-RW, multi-format drives capable of writing

and rewriting to both CDs (650MB capacity) and DVDs (4.7GB capacity).

Connectivity:

The majority of new laptops include an array of ports and slots--USB 2.0, FireWire (IEEE1394),

PCMCIA PC card slot, S-Video and VGA-out (monitor). With few ways to expand beyond their factory

configuration, a laptop should have at least two USB ports (three would be better) plus a FireWire

connection. Because many laptops are now being manufactured without a floppy drive, the USB ports

are very useful for utilizing a jump drive for doing quick back-ups. A PCMCIA slot is also useful for

adding wireless capability if it doesn't come as standard.

Laptop Carrying Case:

Don't underestimate the importance of a good laptop computer carrying case when considering your

final laptop computer buy purchase. It may be low on your priority list when you're looking at all those

shiny new laptops and immersing yourself in the features and options. But the lid and chassis of a laptop

can be easily damaged. A good quality padded case will protect your investment.
