If even 30 euros is too much for you for a computer, as much as the retailers ask you for the Raspberry Pi 2 computer system, then we have a personal computer for you, for which you will have to shell out less than 10 euros! His name is Chip, and he has raised almost a million dollars on Kickstarter! You can surf the web with it, play computer games and use it for work. Don't count on Photoshop anyway, but for the price of a richly coated pizza, it would be an invention.
If there's one thing we've learned from science fiction movies, it's that holograms rule the future. And it is more than obvious that such a future is here. At least that's according to the concept of the company Number One, which wants to make hologram screens for computers a reality. Their first attempt is a transparent 27-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, which goes by the name HTD-01. Future, welcome home.
The ASUS Pen Stick is a miniature computer that could easily be mistaken for a USB memory stick. But it is much more than that. It is a powerful pocket PC that even the latest Windows 10 operating system presents no problems. Its "means of communication" for connecting to an external device is the HDMI interface, and dealers will part with it from autumn 2015 onwards for a calculated price of 135 euros.
Keyboards and mice have been with us as long as we can remember, at least when it comes to the history of computers. They are a tried and proven good combination and almost the perfect way to operate your computer, as you can do anything with this pair, as long as that 'anything' is web browsing and basic operations. For something more, you need the "mixing table" Palette, a breath of fresh air in the field of computer management, which will especially please creative people.
Pain in the wrist and hands has unfortunately become an almost daily occurrence for many, which is mainly the result of long-term computer use. The main culprits are the keyboard and the mouse, which require us to make repetitive movements and thus excessively strain some small muscles. This leads to inflammation and pain in the wrist, forearm, palm and elbow, poor mobility of the fingers, etc. Dr. Levi Harrison therefore has some simple exercises for us to help relieve hand pain caused by the computer.
Even the most beautiful personal computers act as a piece of technology that gives them coolness. Wood Kubb is the complete opposite of computers as we know them. It is a wooden cube that you will gladly plant in a visible place, which is hard to say for personal computers. Most of them therefore hide under the table. Despite its small size, it can do everything the big ones can do. The 12.5 x 12.5 centimeter wooden shell hides an Intel Core i3 or i5 processor. You can pre-order the Wood Kubb on Kickstarter for (calculated) 400 euros.
A group of researchers at the German University of Tubingen has developed an algorithm that can produce any photograph in the style of great painters such as Picasso and Van Gogh. Technically, this process is called deep learning, which is a collection of algorithms capable of independent learning without the help of a human. It is about the creation of artificial neural networks, where computer programs work according to the model of the human brain. This type of technology is already used by Google in photo recognition.
Just when we thought computer assembly was saying goodbye, it is experiencing its second spring. It was revived by projects such as the modular phone Phonebloks and Google's Project Ara, and now Acer is joining the modular brush, which introduced a computer that you can assemble like Lego bricks. It's called the Revo Build, and its intelligent design allows you to add bricks (read functionality/extra capabilities) to it like speakers, a projector, a wireless charging station, a hard drive, etc., as easily as stacking Legos on top of Legos.
Ecological awareness can be expressed in different ways. We can separate, use alternative means of transport, save water, or otherwise leave as little carbon footprint as possible. The Slovenian quartet from the green company ECOmp offers an environmental approach through wooden peripheral devices, such as a keyboard and mouse made of bamboo, which in most cases come wrapped in plastic, one of the main pollutants.
The HP Envy Curved is a so-called all-in-one (''all-in-one''), a self-contained computer that comes with an apt name. Who wouldn't be envious of its owner, especially since all components are built into a monitor with a curved screen. We've seen some fantastic computers like this before - the iMac Retina 5K comes to mind - but HP goes a step or two further than the competition with a curved display that offers an even more authentic viewing experience.
The Kangaroo is a pocket computer and further proof that computers haven't been what they used to be for some time. Let it be cases that we hid under the table or laptops. Kangaroo by InFocus is no bigger than a smartphone, but it can easily compete with larger computers. It has Windows 10 operating system installed.
The legendary Macintosh 128k computer, or in the original Apple Macintosh - the first personal computer released by Apple - has undergone a luxurious renovation in the form of The Golden Apple computer, made by the design bureau Love Hultén. The "Golden Apple" is a beautiful tribute to the original, and as a beautiful replica made of American walnut wood, it is a real collector's item.
