Tomorrow's Computer

You already hold it in your hand, its power will be demultighted and docked, it can connect to any device.

The benchmark published OpenBenchmarking.org shows that the power of the best mobile processors (in this case Tegra X1) is equal to the power of low-end desktop PCs:

Tigra X1 vs Intel i3

For most users, in particular Internet users, increasing the power of mobile devices becomes enough to make a PC useless. Then the central unit will be a smartphone or tablet, and the insertion into the dock will connect them to the big screen and all other devices normally connected to the PC.

Ordinateur du futur, demain se sera un smartphone.

As you can see in the diagram, a large screen, keyboard and mouse will be used for comfortable work. The mobile phone will connect to the camera or camera via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. He will also be able to print directly via Wi-Fi transmission, the printers of which are already equipped .
Storage will be provided by a hard drive connected to the dock, or memory cards directly inserted into it.

Motorola Atrix

He is already developing this concept in two directions: the first corresponds to the above scheme, the second - sticks the smartphone into a notebook offering a keyboard and screen, but devoid of a central unit and memory.

The notebook, in turn, can be connected to any PC device... This model is equipped with Android, but when docked, it loads the WebTop environment, which is better suited for local use.
It provides access to the file system and includes the Nautilus file manager from Linux. Other Linux programs are being added.
PCs can gradually become machines designed for gamers, graphics and developers... that will connect them to the same dock as their smartphone!.

Clavier pour smartphone

Clambook

It's a sleek keyboard and screen jumpsuit with a dock to connect a smartphone to it and convert it to a PC, as the Atrix does, with more style as it works with an Android device or iPhone.
It has its own battery to power the screen, but there's a limitation: working only in landscape mode (not portrait mode), it doesn't use all the apps available on mobile devices. However, his interest is evident in common activities such as email distribution, internet consulting for connected mobile devices. When this happens to all smartphones and they have more power, it will be tomorrow's computer for most users.

Chromebook

Chromebook

You see the picture on the right. This is not a computer of the future, since it is quite relevant, but it seems to foreshadow it (the DWI port is separate!).

It perfectly meets our expectations of a full-fledged, fairly high-performance, but also ultra-compact computer.

It works with Google's Chrome operating system, meaning it mostly uses web apps (online or offline), but the Aura interface can bring it closer to a more conventional machine.

And it costs only 300 euros !

Smartbook coming soon

This is a term coined by a Qualcomm caster. To create ultralight laptops, much more than ultrabooks, or Mac Air, it is completing the development of a quad-core ARM processor, high enough performance to work with Windows 8. Thus, Scsi S4 will replace Intel processors - a revolution in the laptop world.
The processor contains enough graphics for HD video, as well as a modem. It will allow you to run games under Windows 8.
The next step is to switch to a PC in an ultra-compact version with an ARM processor. If the motive has not replaced it yet!

Video projector for replacement monitor

This is not a prospect, but already a reality. Samsung's Galaxy Beam models feature a 15-lumen pico projector and can display a 50-inch image.
This does not allow you to do graphics on a large screen, but is suitable for watching videos or playing games. The videos that can be seen on Youtube show a rather blurry picture. It will take 2,000 lumens to get an image close to that of a cinema room, and this affects large sizes. Professional video projectors do not have a higher resolution than a smartphone, they simply offer a large and sharp picture .
