Tech Article 10/6

The Future Of Laptops
Back when desktops first came out people fancied them, and were usually very expensive. Also less people owned their own computers. Technology has advanced a lot throughout a small amount of time. Laptops are now a days  very popular, and more efficient than desktops because people can go to their local cafe and without having to bring a monitor they can easily enter the web with wifi. Now most people own computers, and in school a lot of work is now assigned with online educative websites such as google docs, study island, and turnitin.com. Also new gadgets such as the kindle fire, iPad, and iPhones technology is making improvements to create their new devices at a faster, and thinner level. This does not mean that vendors are done with new ideas. The following are a few things future laptops will have
  • battery life of 12-14 hours
  • high speed processors 
  • thinner
  • lighter
  • laser keypad 
  • low voltage chips(more powerful faster laptops) 
  • memory problems could then be solved in thinner computers
  • OS changes
By the time this new laptops come out competitors will be rising, and laptops that are now around $1,000 would then lower their prices to $800 or even discontinued due to this new technology.
