Abstract

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, with many organizations, schools, colleges, and universities transitioning to virtual platforms, students encountered difficulties in acquiring PCs such as desktops or laptops. The starting prices, around 15,000 INR, often failed to offer adequate system specifications, posing a challenge for consumers. Additionally, those reliant on laptops for work found the conventional approach cumbersome. Enter the "Portable Smart Computer," a leap into the future of computing. This innovative device boasts speed and performance comparable to traditional desktops but in a compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective package. It delivers a seamless desktop experience, whether one is editing documents, browsing multiple tabs, managing spreadsheets, or creating presentations. Moreover, it supports programming languages like Python, C, C++, as well as compilers such as Keil and Xilinx, catering to the needs of programmers.
