LightBook

The Lightbook (now stylised as LightBook with an uppercase "B") is a series o f laptop computers made by Aurelius, targeted at the average computer user. The line was introduced in 2055, received critical acclaim, and received 4 design refreshes throughout its life.

1st generation (classic)
The first generation Lightbook featured a sleek metallic look, reflective of Aurelius' new approach to computer design. In these models, the hard drives were known for a tendency to fail prematurely due to the implementation of the then new REDE technology.

2nd generation (G series)
The second generation of Lightbooks arrived in 2060 and coincided with the release of the anticipated HCT processors. This prompted Aurelius to switch CPUs. As well as this, several technological advancements were implemented, such as a 16:10 display aspect ratio, RIDE hard drives and GER(2) memory.

3rd generation (Unibody)
The 3rd generation of LightBooks arrived at the same time as HCT's major processor rebranding. Although HCT opted for an "m" naming scheme, Aurelius persisted with their current "G" scheme. When Aurelius announced the unibody models, it was revealed that that the 16" model would be discontinued and the batteries would be soldered to the computer. Following public outcry, the battery was reverted in the next revision and a legacy 16" computer was released in 2070, designed with futureproof specs in mind. It continues to be sold to this day.

During the 3rd generation, technologies like clear quartz display made their way into LightBook models.

4th generation (RedLink)
On April 14, 2075, Aurelius celebrated the 20th anniversary of the LightBook with the LightBook G9. This model featured a refreshed steel design and is powered by HCT generation 9 "Museum". The utilisation of HCT's u-series processors allowed for a much thinner design.

A special 15" "LightBook G9X" was released by Aurelius to commemorate the "final departure" of the 16" form factor from the LightBook line. This version uses a custom m8-9600 processor, underclocked from 2.4 GHz to 2.0 GHz to allow for the LightBook's thin chassis.
