Laptop

Laptop, often called a notebook, is a portable personal

computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use.
Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and
notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter,
as of 2014, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are
commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in
education, and for personal multimedia.

A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and

capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display
screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a
touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. Most 2016-era laptops
also have integrated webcams and built-in microphones. The
device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or
by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Laptops are diverse devices and specialized kinds, such as

rugged notebooks for use in construction or convertible
computers, have been optimized for specific uses. The
hardware specifications, such as the processor speed and
memory capacity significantly vary between different types,
makes, and models.
