In 2000, the touchscreen display was still mostly science fiction. Laptops were big, bulky, and expensive. Apple computers ran on PowerPC microprocessors made by Motorola, and Steve Jobs was struggling to turn Apple around.

Nevertheless, 2000 was a very interesting year in computing: we had just survived the big Y2K scare, and new innovations were on the rise. That year, Microsoft launched the Windows 2000 operating system for both client and server computers, claiming it to be the most stable and reliable operating system they had ever released to date. 2000 was also the year both AMD and Intel released 1GHz processors, starting us on the road to faster computing.

Now almost a decade and a half later later, we celebrate innovations in mobile computing by selecting our 15 Best-in-Class devices for Tablets, Hybrid, and Laptop computers.
