Before the next laptop is produced...items such as weight, feel and sexiness must be first considered....
The "Race for Perfect" shows the design process that goes into the your next laptop.
I recommend this to lovers of design, computers and general geekdom. Steve Hamm takes us through the 40 years of development of the portable computers,
From the early "Luggables" ( Computers that came in their own suitcase, with an attachable monitor, you set up when you arrived) to the Apple Air™, and even the BlackBerry™.
The book covers the development of the ThinkPad X300, the newest greatest laptop out . In The Race for Perfect" we get to see the early idea and developments going into creating the laptop we know.
LCD screens and solid state drives are now the standards.
The considerations of the user:
• mouse (going from trackball, to tracking stick, to the touchpad.)
• keyboard (style, shape feel)
• screens
• weight (what to keep in to make work but not too heavy.
