A laptop is a computer which is easy to carry around.

Its user can fold the laptop along

its hinge for carrying. The laptop was created mainly for this particular reason. Computer parts
were scaled to smaller size so this could happen. A modern laptop is self-contained, with built-in
rechargeable battery and peripheral equipment. The user can also plug it in, for longer battery life
and additional peripherals.
Laptops have advantages such as:

 People can carry them anywhere, whether office or home.

 They can be used in a smaller space than a desk computer.
Disadvantages of portable computers include:

 Price is higher
 Easily stolen
 They can be used in a car, resulting in distracted driving
 They travel frequently, thus can be damaged, and repairs are more difficult
 Some laptops have usually low technical specifications and are available in low prices.
 They are often slower than desktop computers with heavy tasks like gaming, video editing or
graphic design
