DELUXE LAPTOPS THAT WORK ANYWHERE

摘要

The history of new technology in laptops follows a familiar pattern: First, a feature is offered as an add-on, usually in the form of, a pc Card. Then it is integrated into high-end models. As volumes rise and prices fall, it becomes standard throughout the product line. Modems followed this course and are now universally included in laptops. Built-in Ethernet, which makes for convenient office or home networking, has nearly completed the transition. Wireless local networking, known as Wi-Fi or 802.11b, has just begun the cycle, with most Windows-laptop makers including integrated wireless on some models. Apple Computer laptops have offered it for some time.
