He can tell you a story regarding computers, his friends brother was also sort of around computers too, and I'm pretty sure they both do remember when the internet was Arpanet back in the day. There's a misconception that the internet was "invented", it wasn't really "invented" like some people believe, like I said, my grandfather on my dad's side and his friends brother were around computers when it was still Arpanet, Arpanet evolved into the internet that we know today.

The Powerbook 100 didn't just popularize the trackball, it popularized the design of a palm rest in front of the keyboard, a standard feature in almost every laptop since. Most Windows laptops in the mid 90s had no palm rest, with the keyboard at the very front and either a tiny track ball 'nub' between the keys or no build in pointing device at all.

Our school got two dozen of those 1999 iBooks and I simply couldn't wrap my head around how we were able to go on the internet without a cable. After all, at home we used a 56K modem installed in a PC. I think the first laptop I ever used was an a 486 model with Windows 3.1 or something which belonged to my grandfather. It had a tiny display, but full color and had a trackball as well as a floppy drive on the side. To me it was amazing, especially since our own computer at home was a pretty clunky desktop with a huge 15" CRT monitor.

Considering Alienware laptops aren't any more expensive than most other manufacturers' gaming laptops these days, that isn't really true anymore. Also, my M15X from 2010 is still working just fine today. Couldn't have asked for a better machine. (Though I did replace it with an MSI GS63VR this year.)

Dell still maintains their Alienware brand, but they actually released a second line of gaming laptops, the Inspiron gaming series. This lineup, based on their Inspiron mainstream laptop line, is a line of lower end gaming laptops designed to be the best bang for the buck with gaming performance. I have last year's Dell Inspiron 7559 gaming laptop. This laptop actually cost me less than $1,000, and with its quad core i5 and GTX 960M graphics, it has crushed every game I have thrown at it so far. This years models range from Radeon Mobility RX 460 graphics all the way up to GTX 1050 ti desktop class graphics, and range in price from around $650 to $1,200.

My dad had an IBM Portable Personal Computer in 1984, one of the earliest portable machines. It ran DOS 1. To say the least, it was not very portable due to its huge size. It is still a cool piece of computing history, and believe it or not, we still have it, and it is still in fully working condition.

I have noticed this as well. Apple seems to be the leader when it comes to innovation and making things that change the way we live. Their mistake is that they insist on producing all their products themselves at ridiculous prices. Along comes competition and Apple quickly ends up comprising just a small portion of the market share. Their answer? Litigation. Unlike the competition which tries to one up themselves and allows the tech to be used by any number of 3rd parties.

Windows 8 doesn't, but that's what third party programs are for. Some people hated the start menu changes in Vista and Windows 7 as well, hence why people offered free programs to change the style back to Windows XP or older. Windows 10 offers a compromise between the two.

My favorite Laptop/Notebook configuration was a Compaq with a docking station. Connected to the docking station was a large monitor, keyboard, mouse and connection to the network like a normal desktop. You just had to slide the Laptop halfway into the docking station which then automatically pulled it in and make all the connections. You could even "tell" the docking station what time it must eject the Laptop (quite handy in an area with afternoon electrical storms). Unfortunately the docking station was very expensive and all upgrades to Laptops were incompatible with the docking station. I thought it was very mean of Compaq.
