The article focuses the more recently changing technology in personal computers. Everyone knows about the recent release of Windows 7 and the way it has been taking the PC world by storm. Although the biggest change that the PC world has been experiencing is the move towards Netbooks and away from desktop PC's. This movement has been supported by the advance in USB storage technology that is slowly moving away from CD and DVD storage. Because of this, companies have started building computers without optical drives allowing them to be much smaller making Netbooks the new trend in PC technology.
This movement is interesting because a few years ago this would seem ridiculous because flash drives were a very new technology and an optical drive was an essential component of PC. In fact a few years ago when Mac released the Mac book air it was seen as almost completely impractical due to the fact that it did not have an optical drive. Now only a few years later we are witnessing quite the opposite. Secondly a majority of users do not need the type of computing power that a desktop with a multi-core processor provides. Due to these facts Netbooks have become mainstream in the PC world.
