A bit of history about PC's.

I have chosen computers because I think that thay are a multi-use product for any circumstances. Computers are designed to work, to search for information on the internet, to play games, to program (per example: Google Chrome has been programmed on a windows computer, robots are usually programmed on Linux, Mac or Windows). I will focus more on computers that have Windows as its Operative Systems.
The first PC was launched between the years 1962 & 1964 by the Italian brand Olivetti, which actually mainly produces printers. This first PC was Called Programma 101. The company was founded on 1908 on Ivrea, Italy, by Adriano Olivetti. The first manufacturing plants on America were opened in 1930. Its first electronic computer was launched in 1964, under the name of Elea 9003. Also in 1959 they purchased the Underwood Typewriter Company that year. It continued developing new products. One of these products was a remake of their Original Programma 101, the first commercially-produced PC. This computer’s most Notable uses were To send the man to the Moon, a Bellical use on the Vietnam war and on ABC to predict 1969 U.S presidential elections.
Actually, PC’s are bought by most people and mostly everyone has one, even if it is portatile or a tower one. On the product has changed mostly anything. Now computers have more powerful processors, Bigger RAM memories to do things quicker, Graphic cards to design Bridges, Buildings, stadiums, that are also used to have more realistic videogames and with better graphics. CD and DVD reproductors, USB to transport documents on a easy way, video cards, sound cards… Those changes have been made to have more powerful computers on order to design things, to make them quicker and commodity. If before you needed to wait 2 or 3 weeks for a design of a bridge, now you can have it on 2 or 3 days because it has been designed with AUTOCAD. The technology has made this product to develop, mainly because other products depend on PC, Android and Mac mobile OS have been programmed with PCs, PS4 (for example) has been designed by a computer and all the components that it has inside are less powerful than computers’ components.
The prize has changed on a positive way. The prize before was very elevated, around 2000$ the cheapest PC and now you can have a basic PC for less than 300$ and a medium/high class PC for around 600-700$ and Top class PC are prized on a minimum of 1500$. The product is more popular now because, even mobile phones and tablets are increasing on popularity, to work a Computer is used, in order to write, a computer is more comfortable than a tablet. It is more popular in young people now also by videogames like Minecraft and League of Legends. Also there are online platforms to shop online (Rakuten, eBay) and Online Platforms to download videogames (Origin and the giant on this sense, Steam). Also there are free newspapers online.
The product will change optimizing all the changes that have been
Actually Nvidia began to develop the Tablets to play games. The Nvidia table
On processors, Intel and AMD have mainly all the market on this subject. Most of the computers use Intel because of its good results.
Also there are Virtual Reality glasses available for computers that are compatible with some games of Steam

HP Sprout

As I promised on my first post, I will tell you about the new perfomances of the PC and the latest is the breaking new HP Computer

This is the new hp sprout. It has a webcam on top of the screen and a 3d Scanner on the top. HP has described it as "A PC for designers".

It does not have any mouse or keyboard on it. Instead, it has a fully functional second screen that acts depending on the program that the user is on.




Specs

Windows 8.1
20" Screen with 2D & 3D Cameras
Intel Core i7 4790-S
NVIDIA GeForce GT 745A with 2GB DDR3 dedicated memory
8 GB of RAM

This specs are ideal to play games, so it could be cualified as a PC Gaming and the main Designer Computer for high-budget companies. Dreamworks is a company that helped to do this computer and has developed some software

Those are the main features of the computer, But the computer is only available in some states of the USA and is not going to be exported until 2015. This has to be confirmed.
