INTRODUCTION

LAPTOP:

• A laptop or laptop computer, is a small, portable personal computer (PC) with a "clamshell"
form factor, typically having a thin LCD or LED computer screen mounted on the inside of the
upper lid of the clamshell and an alphanumeric keyboard on the inside of the lower lid.

• The clamshell is opened up to use the computer. Laptops are folded shut for transportation,
and thus are suitable for mobile use.
TYPES OF LAPTOPS:

I. Notebook (aka laptop) : The general term for a full-sized laptop that strikes a balance between
portability and functionality.

II. Ultraportable: Thin, light laptops designed for mobility are often described as ultraportable
(also sometimes called a sub�notebook).

III. Ultrabook: Ultrabook is a term coined by computer chipmaker Intel for a special type of
ultraportable notebook

IV. Chromebook: Chromebooks run the ChromeOS (which is based on Linux) operating system.
These are designed to work primarily with web apps and data being saved to the Cloud rather
than on the laptop itself.

V. MacBook: Apple's laptop computers come in two families – the ultra-thin MacBook Air, and
the high-performance MacBook Pro in 13-inch and 16-inch sizes (the latter recently replacing
the 15-inch size).

VI. Convertible (2-in-1): These combine the features of a laptop and a tablet. They're also known
as 2-in-1 laptops or hybrids .

“Birthplace of ‘Silicon Valley’”.

William Shockley to create Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957.

• 1970: The HP 3000 was an advanced stack-based design for a business computing server, later

REVIEW OF LITERATURE :

• Harvest Park Middle School. The Laptop Immersion Program at Harvest Park Middle School
launched in 2001 with 6th grade participants, and 7th and 8th grade participants were added
each year over the next two years. The study by Gulek and Demirtas (2005) took place during
the third year of the program with 259 6th, 7th, and 8th grade participants. Both teacher and
student participants in the program were voluntary and parents either purchased the laptops or
applied for a waiver, in which case the school .

• Compass Learning. Clariana (2009) evaluated the one-to-one laptop initiative that utilized
CompassLearning in north-eastern Pennsylvania during the 2005-2006 school year, the second
year of the program, in order to inform policy and planning for the program. CompassLearning
is instructional software that can be accessed online, and 10 it provides digital learning activities
aligned with standards, direct instruction, independent practice, and support.

• Hillside Middle School. A case study was conducted with two math and science teachers who
taught at a middle school in Maine where the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI)
provided each student with Apple iBook computers (Garthwait & Weller, 2005).

Objectives:

➢ The objectives of our laptop include durability, lightweight, safe, and a fast processor.

➢ It is important that the laptop is lightweight because business professionals are always
traveling so it is necessary, they have a durable and lightweight device to carry with them.

➢ Moreover, it needs to have a fast processor because since business people are always
pressed on time, they are going to need a fast device always ready for them.
NEEDS OF LAPTOP:

Everyone should own a laptop, especially women. With the increased need to learn and acquire
more skills to grow businesses & careers, women need to have access to laptops.Laptops also
offer freedom and flexibility to do your work anywhere and anytime. For most people, the
freedom that laptops offer is a convenient luxury. No matter where you are, a laptop allows you
to bring your work with you .

CONCLUSION:

After completing the project report on study on laptop we can conclude that majority of the
respondents are satisfied with the goodquality, affordable price and after sales services
provided by the company side to the consumers. The consumers are highly satisfied with HP
laptop and they prefer to purchase HP laptop rather than other brand of laptops.
