Laptops fever. Technology and concept have made up thousands of laptop designs in history. Some are best, some good, some bad, and some worst too, as per user usage. See the top 5 collection of best and worst laptop designs of history. Starting with number 5 for each.
Worst-5- Velocity Micro NoteMagix L80 (2006)
The Velocity Micro NoteMagix L80 is one of those notebooks that makes you question the sanity of its designers. It’s bad enough the system’s plain, black chassis comes straight out of Generic Notebook Design 101, but what thrusts this notebook into the realm of the visually offensive is the low-end copper strip that lines the keyboard’s perimeter. It makes the NoteMagix L80 look as though it were manufactured about 30 years ago, or that part of the machine was ripped away to expose the copper finish. It’s a shame that the notebook is so unattractive, as it packs some solid muscle under the hood with the included Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 GS graphics card and a speedy 2.1-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, but if you place any value in appearance, it will be hard to appreciate the power.
Best-5- Sony VAIO R505 SuperSlim Pro (1998)
As more people go mobile, slim notebooks are becoming increasingly popular. But when did the slimming phenom start? In 1998, when Sony announced the Sony VAIO R505 JSP SuperSlim Pro. It impressed the mobile tech world with its style and slim, one-inch-thick frame. That tiny frame packed a lot of power: a 30GB hard drive, 850-MHz Pentium III processor, and 256MB of RAM. (Remember: This is 1998.) Alas, Sony had to sacrifice the optical drive to get the system that slim. The R505 also boasted an eye-catching silver-purple lid and a bright purple touchpad and mouse buttons that tech fashionistas drooled over.
Where is Thinkpad series, it’s arguably one of the oldest and hadn’t changed since so it must be good…
One convertible Tablet PC that should make your ‘worst’ list (imho) is the HP TX1000 series. The specs were great and it had a neat rotating hinge like the Acer TravelMate C100, but unfortunately the screen digitizer was so-so for tablet use. Worst of all, the design was poor, especially in terms of cooling the processor. The darn thing would get too hot to hold or set on your lap, and many laptops of this series died premature deaths due to overheating problems. HP never addressed these issues, much less acknowledge them, and I refuse to purchase any more HP computing products because of my experience with the HP TX1000.
