Laptops
Laptops are computers which are easy to carry around. Their users can fold them along their hinge for carrying. Laptops were created mainly for this particular reason. Computer parts were scaled to smaller size so this could happen.
The first laptop was invented in 1979 by British Designer Bill Moggridge. In 1982, two computer designers from Microsoft, Kazuhiko Nishi and Bill Gates, started their discussion concerning a new portable computer. The main thing about the computer was a new LCD technology. A year later the company launched its TRS-80 Model 100, which was a computer that looked pretty much like the laptops we know today.
The development of laptops continued with various upgrades and additional functions added. Laptops have a lot of advantages like people can carry them anywhere, whether in the office or at home and they can be used in a smaller space than an ordinary personal computer. At the same time portable computers have several negative points. They are, first, their price is higher; second, computer thefts became easier; third, while used in the car they can cause car accidents; fourth, they break more easily than desktop computers
