A laptop is a personal computer designed for mobile use and small and light enough to sit on a person's lap while in use. A laptop integrates most of the typical components of a desktop computer, including a display, a keyboard, a pointing device (a touchpad, also known as a trackpad, and/or a pointing stick), speakers, and often including a battery, into a single small and light unit. The rechargeable battery (if present) is charged from an AC adapter and typically stores enough energy to run the laptop for two to three hours in its initial state, depending on the configuration and power management of the computer.

Laptops are usually shaped like a large notebook with thicknesses between 0.7–1.5 inches (18–38 mm) and dimensions ranging from 10x8 inches (27x22cm, 13" display) to 15x11 inches (39x28cm, 17" display) and up. Modern laptops weigh 3 to 12 pounds (1.4 to 5.4 kg); older laptops were usually heavier. Most laptops are designed in the flip form factor to protect the screen and the keyboard when closed. Modern tablet laptops have a complex joint between the keyboard housing and the display, permitting the display panel to swivel and then lie flat on the keyboard housing. They usually have a touchscreen display and some include handwriting recognition or graphics drawing capability.

Laptops were originally considered to be "a small niche market" and were thought suitable mostly for "specialized field applications" such as "the military, the Internal Revenue Service, accountants and sales representatives". But today, there are already more laptops than desktops in businesses, and laptops are becoming obligatory for student use and more popular for general use. In 2008 more laptops than desktops were sold in the US and it has been predicted that the same milestone will be reached in the worldwide market as soon as late 2009.

How do i get my laptop to connect to my wireless network?
Q. I've recently recieved a new laptop from work. I work from home sometimes and need to connect to the internet. My laptop shows that I'm connected to the internet, however I can't get any pages to download. I've disabled the firewalls on the computers, but to no avail. My old laptop, I just plugged in wireless card and it connected fine. With the new laptop, It won't. What am i missing? Thanks!

A. Your company may be using a proxy server, so for you to be able to connect to internet pages from home (once connected to your wireless) you need to turn off the proxy. Go to internet explorer, Tools>>Internet Options>>Connections tab>>Lan Settings and unselect the proxy. For you to be able to connect to your works network you may need to use a VPN to connect to the network and after that you can connect to the internet too, using the proxy server (so the box needs to be checked this time). You will need to get the VPN software from your company. Hope this helps.

How do I upgrade my laptop to increase the internet speed?
Q. My Compaq laptop has a configuration of Pentium dual core , 2GB ram, 160 gb. Im using a reliance wireless broadband connection and the speed is very very very slow! . When checking out the wireless device on other laptops the speed is considerably fast. Im not expertised in this field so might not use technical terms. Do I have to upgrade the speed of my laptop? To what extent, so that my net speed is fast?

A. Net speed has nothing to do with the speed of your laptop. It's probably a virus on your laptop if it's considerably slowing down your internet speed. Run a decent anti-virus. If that doesn't work, contact your ISP

This only started happening when I started using my new zune hd. Even if I don't have my zune hd connected, usually at some point when I'm playing.
