Next up is the Laptop. it is basically a smaller version of the original PC but with a few small changes. A laptop is of course a portable personal computer. It is powered by a very strong battery so that you can use it when on the bus, train or .. well so that you can use it anywhere! It is usually fully charged in about 30 minutes and can last an extremely long time. Another difference would be that it usually has a built in touch pad. this is a change considering you would usually use a mouse on a PC. Its basically got the same software and hardware besides having the touch pad and possibly a few built in speakers. Newer  models even have a built in web so that you can chat to all your buddys online.





Netbook



Netbook- No its not a laptop... its called a netbook. Its basically a really small laptop. They are extremely useful whenever you dont want to carry much weight, when you are tight for space on in your bag and just if you want to chat to friends. The handy thing with newbooks is that because they have only been available for a few years, you get all of the new software with all versions e.g windows 7, anti-virus software.
