A Lighter Laptop

Microsoft is coming out with a new personal computer. It looks like a large tablet with a keyboard that you can attach and detach from the computer. This is extremely exciting. Computers are evolving so quickly. I think of the computers from the 1990s and how bulky and heavy they were. I also remember my first job on tech support at Argonne National Laboratory. I would break a sweat carrying several of those computers from one room to another. Today I can carry a computer with my fingertips. I do not work a lot with computer hardware, so seeing how they are the reducing the size of the hardware so quickly is mesmerizing to me.
