There's a new computer system in the planning which will have the following features:
* Instead of a clunky and stationary tower, all the crucial components like CPU, HD, keyboard etc. will be combined into one, single unit.
This will be a powerful computer for business and gaming, but at the same time will keep the computer mobile so it could easily be carried around if needed.
* They will get away from the modular concept of using different components, like graphic cards, sound cards etc. since this has always been good for introducing compatibility problems in the past. Instead, all the components like high-end graphics, sound, network etc. will be on board.
In case optional extras (like a bigger external HD etc.) are connected to the computer, no drivers are required since the system will auto detect all hardware.
* The system will be entirely and 100% quiet. There is no single cooling fan or similar in the system, the only noise is coming from the harddrive.
* Due to this intelligent design, the power supply can be kept rather small. The PSU is in fact external, it can be placed anywhere, hidden in a corner in the room etc. without interfering with anything. The PSU is noiseless as well, no moving parts, no fans.
* The hardware and all components of this computer will not need "drivers" anymore - it will all work out of the box.
* In a radical new way, the complete graphical OS will not have to be "loaded" from disk anymore but will be completely "on chip" and instantly available once the computer is turned on.
For the user, this means there is no such thing as boot time or sluggish OS performance since it's all realized in hardware "on chip"...and there is no such inconveniences like having to "shut down" the computer and other nonsense.
The computer will be incredible powerful, at the same time not much larger than a typical "multimedia keyboard".
It will be called "Commodore Amiga" and the release date will be 1985.
