The Microsoft Surface Studio was
developed by Microsoft on December
15 and was announced on October 26,
2016. The computer was designed with
the purpose of creating the user's
artistic ideas into reality. It is part of the
series Microsoft Surface. The computer
is an all-in-one PC, currently operating
on Windows 10 pro.The first electromechanical analog
computer was developed by the US
navyin 1936. The computers were used
to fire torpedoes at moving objects for the
navy.The first mechanical computer was
built by Charles Babbage. Charles
Babbage, had many ideas regarding
the concept of computers but, he could
not able to make them functionable.German engineer Konrad Zuse created
Z2, an electromechanical relay
computer, in 1939Konrad Zuse further developed his
computers to create Z3. Z3 was the first
programmable, fully automatic digital
in 1941.Henry Babbage, completed a continued
his father's work and completed a
simplified version of the analytical
engine's computing unit (the mill) in
1888.John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford E.
Berry developed the Atanasoff–Berry
Computer (ABC) in 11942. This was the
first "automatic electronic digital
computer".Max Newman and his colleagues built
the Colossus. The reason for its
creation was made to crack the more
sophisticated German machine during
World War II.In 1946 the Us developed ENIAC or
Electronic Numerical Integrator and
Computer. The ENIAC was like the
2.0. The ENIAC was faster,
more flexible, and it was
Turing-complete.The Manchester Small-Scale
Experimental Machine, nicknamed
Baby, was the world's first stored-
program computer created in 1948.In 1951, the Ferranti Mark 1 prototype
was created. It was the world's first
commercially available general-
purpose computer. It was created by
Ferranti.In 1953, Tom Kilburn and his team
created a computer that uses
transistors instead of valves. This was
the first transistorised computer.in 1958, Jack Kilby invented the first
first dvice that suceffully uses
integrated circuit.IBM 703, also known as "stretch", was
created. The computer used
transistors. This computer was the
most successful in the IBM series.In 1965, Gardner Hendrie created the
DDP-116. He created this computer for
the Computer Control Corporation
(CCC). It was the world's first
commercial 16-bit minicomputer.Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), was
built in 1968 by scientists and
engineers at MIT’s Instrumentation
Laboratory. It has the purpose to
reduce the size of the existing Apollo
which weighed more than the newer
version.In 1973 the first IBM personal
computer was created. Dr. Paul Friedl
and his team created this at IBM's Los
Gatos and Palo Alto, California
laboratories.Cray-1 was created in 1976. It was the
fastest at the time. The reason it was
called the Cray-1 was due to its shape.
The cords of the computer were also
shorten.Compaq created Deskpro 386 in 1986.
It was the first computer that used
Intel's 80386 chips, a 32-bit
microprocessor with 275,000
transistors on each chip. The computer
was faster and had plenty of memory
on it.In 1995 Bebox was realsesed. It was
Created by former apple employ Jean
Louis Gassée. The computer used dual
PowerPC 603 CPUs, and features a
large variety of peripheral ports.In 2008, Steve Jobs introduced the first
MacBook Air. It is a light, thin laptop
with high-capacity battery. It is a very
popular computer.
