Personal Computer Clamshell Mobile Use: Citation Needed

Laptops are portable personal computers with a clamshell design that combines components like displays, keyboards, and touchpads into a single mobile device suitable for work, education, and personal use. While laptops come in various forms optimized for different tasks, they generally provide computing capabilities in a portable package powered by batteries or AC adapters. Originally developed for specialized fields, laptops have become widely used as they have grown smaller, lighter, cheaper and more powerful with improved screens.

They are also sometimes called notebook computersor notebooks. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, including work, education, and personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components and inputs as a desktop computer; including display, speakers keyboard, and pointing device (such as a touchpad), into a single device. [citation Most modern-day laptop computers also have a webcam and a mic (microphone) pre-installed. needed] A laptop can be powered either from a rechargeable battery, or by mains electricity via an AC adapter. Laptops are a diverse category of devices, and other more specific terms, such as ultrabooks or netbooks, refer to specialist types of laptop which have been optimised for certain uses. Hardware specifications change vastly between these classifications, forgoing greater and greater degrees of processing power to reduce heat emissions. Portable computers, originally monochrome CRT-based and developed into the modern laptops, were originally considered to be a small niche market, mostly for specialized field applications such as the military, accountants and sales representatives. As portable computers became smaller, lighter, cheaper, and more powerful and as screens became smaller and of better quality, laptops became very widely [citation needed] used for a variety of purposes.
