Week 9 - BSIT200 - New Innovations in Laptops

This week we dove into portable computers, their designs, what they're used for, and the advantages they bring to the table. That's why I decided to use this blog post to talk about the future innovations and technology that will most likely be coming to laptops soon. The biggest and most obvious one will be the upgrades to the processors. Intel has revealed that it will be launching its 12th Generation Intel Core mobile processors which will speed up performance by around 40% compared to the 11th Generation. On top of this, the new 14-core processors will be able to support DDR5 RAM.

Some newer computers like the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus will be getting a second screen on the side of the keyboard that acts as a miniature tablet. Its purpose is to increase productivity and multitasking, while also serving as a way to take notes quickly on the side without affecting anything on the main screen.

Asus is designing a new gaming tablet that has the capabilities for a Nvidia 3050 Ti GPU. This would be a very powerful and extremely lightweight mobile device. I assume the problem most people would have would be how expensive it will be for such a small screen.
