- Opis:
- PC v belem ležečem desktop ohišju. Spredaj nameščena 3.50" disketna in CD-ROM enota. Pentium procesor. Uporabljan za No-LAN party. [SLO]: Packard Bell A942, namizni računalnik, ki ga poganja procesor Pentium 133, je bil izdan v 90. letih. Ti računalniki, ki so bili uvrščeni v srednji cenovni razred, so bili med prvimi z vgrajenimi Pentium procesorji in CD-ROM pogoni, kar jih je naredilo priljubljene. Za mnoge iz generacije, ki je odrasla po obdobju domačih računalnikov in Bulletin Board Systems, je bil A942 pogosto prvo srečanje z osebnim računalnikom. Podjetje, ki je stalo za temi računalniki, je obudilo ime legendarne blagovne znamke Packard Bell, ki je bila v 50. letih znana po prvih televizorjih in klasičnih radijih, ki so zaznamovali obdobje. Čeprav je bil Packard Bell nekoč med vodilnimi prodajalci računalnikov v Združenih državah, je podjetje hitro propadlo. A942 je bil izdelan v času, ko je podjetje začelo preusmerjati svojo pozornost na evropski trg. Po tem, ko ga je prevzel NEC, je Packard Bell doživel velike finančne izgube, kar je privedlo do prenehanja njegovih dejavnosti v ZDA. Kljub svojemu končnemu neuspehu Packard Bell ostaja simbol določenega obdobja v zgodovini računalništva, še posebej v Združenih državah. Ti cenovno dostopni računalniki so postali stalnica mnogih otroštev, saj so predstavljali čas zgodnjih internetnih klepetalnic in tehnološkega razcveta v 90. letih. [ENG]: The Packard Bell A942, a desktop computer powered by a Pentium 133 processor, was released in the 1990s. These computers, positioned in the mid-price range, were among the first to feature Pentium processors and CD-ROM drives, making them a popular choice. For many in the generation that grew up after the era of home computers and Bulletin Board Systems, the A942 was often their first experience with a personal computer. The company behind these computers revived the name of the iconic Packard Bell, a brand known for producing the first television sets in the 1950s and the classic radios that defined an era. Although Packard Bell once stood among the top PC sellers in the United States, it experienced a rapid decline. The A942 was manufactured during a period when the company began shifting its focus to the European market. Eventually acquired by NEC, Packard Bell faced significant financial losses, leading to the cessation of its U.S. operations. Despite its ultimate lack of success, Packard Bell remains emblematic of a particular time in computing history, especially in the United States. These affordable PCs became a fixture of many childhoods, representing the era of early internet chat rooms and the tech boom of the 1990s.
