Laptop

A laptop is a portable computer, designed with mobility in mind. It incorporates all the basic peripherals of a desktop computer, such as speakers, a keyboard, and a trackpad, into one unit. It also incorporates a rechargeable battery, and a charger usually comes as a package with the unit. A laptop, in many situations, is prefered over a PC due to it's portability

Laptops as a whole are not very customizable, the shell for a laptop being very difficult to obtain and the laptop not having enough space in the case for many parts that aren't custom built or special orders for laptops, both of which are hard for most people to get, if not impossible.

The Department of Education, under the Kevin Rudd government and the the Gillard government, has made a School Laptop Project which has benefited our year. The project gives all Year 9s in public school free laptops for use at school. Although they have many restictions to prevent viewing of inappropiate sites or games to be installed, they are a excellent tool to keep notes and research work with.
