Laptops

The laptop is completely different compared to a desktop. Although they seem to serve the same purpose, the laptop holds its own ground. First it is portable while still allowing access your files and to the Internet; the laptop is much more compact and has become more and more efficient throughout the years. The laptop CPU has been compacted so that it can fit into a much smaller device, as opposed to a desktop. It has both a RAM and a Disk Drive Memory. These differ in that the RAM is the current usage of your computer while the Disk Drive Memory is your long term memory. In your laptop, you have the option of adding more RAM into your laptop to make it faster. Perhaps you need even more memory than your laptop can handle, there is always the option of having an external hard drive. There are CDs, USBs, or portable hard drives. Another feature of the laptop includes the Video Graphic Card which enhances the speed and quality of your games or movies. Most laptops already come with one, but now many users are buying an extra so that they can make their laptop even more efficient. This also helps with loading and the lag while you are working or playing. Finally, the battery of the laptop. This feature is one that is only needed in laptops; this makes it possible to be mobile while using your laptop. There are three main types of laptop batteries: Nickel-Cadmium, Nickel-Metal Hydride, and Lilion battery. The latter is the lilon is the current standard. They are light and also have a long life span. The other two are not the most popular because of their negative side-effects or short life spans. All in all, laptops have been experiencing their own boom because of this popular feature of portability.
