Also known as a
notebook, a laptop
is a portable
computer
that is about the size as a large binder and has the same
abilities as a standard home
desktop
computer but is small enough for easy mobility. Portable
computers run off
AC power
and also have the ability to run off a NiMH,
NiCad,
or other type
of battery
pack
for a few hours.
As can be seen from the Dell
Latitude D610 notebook image
to the right (courtesy of Dell Inc.), the computer has
everything needed for normal operating; a LCD
display,
keyboard,
and touchpad. Although a
laptop can have multiple external
devices
and cables
connected to it, no external connections
are required during normal operation.
