Text: LAPTOP COMPUTERS

ve

1- A laptop computer is a personal computer for mobile use. A laptop has most of the
same components as a desktop computer, including a display, a pointing device such as a
eu

touchpad also known as pointing stick to move the cursor around the screen, as well as
speakers into a single unit. A laptop is powered by electricity via an AC adapter, and can
pr

be used away from an outlet, using a rechargeable battery. Laptop are also sometimes
called notebook computers, notebooks, ultrabooks or netbooks
//e

2-Laptop computers are portable and can be used in many locations. Not only at home
and in the office, but also during journeys, in coffee shops, in lecture halls and libraries,
s:

or at a meeting room, etc. They are smaller, lighter and more powerful than desktops,
tp

have screens of better quality and are verywidely used for all sorts of purposes. If you
carry your laptop with you, you instantly have access to various information, personal
ht

and work files. Laptops consume far less power than desktops and produce less heat as
well. A charged laptop can continue to be used for hours in case of a power outage and is
not affected by short power interruptions and blackouts. As they are designed to be
portable, laptops have everything integrated into the chassis. For most desktop, keyboard,
mouse and optional peripherals such as speakers are spare parts.

3- Yet everything is not fine. The use of laptop computers also involves disadvantages.
The integrated screen often requires users to lean over for a better view, which can cause
neck and/or spinal injuries. A larger and higher quality external screen can be connected
to almost any laptop to ease the injury and to provide additional screen space or more
productive work. Another solution is to use a computer stand. Heat generating from using
a laptop can also cause skin discoloration on the thighs known as toasted skin syndrome.

4- Because of their portability, laptops are subject to more wear and physical damage
than desktop. Its components deteriorate gradually from ordinary use. A liquid spill onto
the keyboard can damage the internals of laptop and result in a costly repair. Battery like

.c
is limited because the capacity drops with time, eventually requiring replacement after a

es
little as a year. A new battery typically stores enough energy to run the laptop for three to
five hours. Yet, as it ages, the battery's energy storage will dissipate progressively until it
