Compaq LTE 5000 Series
The LTE 5000 series was a series of notebook-sized laptops under the LTE line manufactured by Compaq from 1995 to 1997. The LTE 5000 series was Compaq's first laptop with Pentium processors from Intel. The line of computers were co-developed between Compaq and Inventec of Taiwan and were manufactured entirely by Inventec overseas. The LTE 5000 series was the last generation in the LTE line, Compaq replacing it with the Armada line in 1997. Development and specifications The LTE 5000 series was the fourth and final generation of LTE, a notebook family introduced six years earlier in 1989. The LTE 5000 series directly replaced Compaq's LTE Elite series that they had introduced in 1994. According to the press at the time, Compaq had poorly handled the rollout of the LTE Elite in 1994, discontinuing the production of its predecessor, the LTE Lite, months before they were ready to ship the LTE Elite to customers. Certain models of the LTE Elite line were fraught with technical issue ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Power Brick
An AC adapter or AC/DC adapter (also called a wall charger, power adapter, power brick, or wall wart) is a type of external power supply, often enclosed in a case similar to an AC plug. AC adapters deliver electric power to devices that lack internal components to draw voltage and power from mains power themselves. The internal circuitry of an external power supply is often very similar to the design that would be used for a built-in or internal supply. When used with battery-powered equipment, adapters typically charge the battery as well as powering the equipment. Aside from obviating the need for internal power supplies, adapters offer flexibility: a device can draw power from 120 VAC or 230 VAC mains, vehicle battery, or aircraft battery, just by using different adapters. Safety can be another advantage, as hazardous 120 or 240 volt mains power is transformed to a lower, safer voltage at the wall outlet before going into the appliance handled by the us ...
