Laptop

The concept of a laptop, a portable personal computer, is ingenious.  Laptops are powered by electricity via an AC adapter and are designed to be used away from an outlet using a rechargeable battery. The advantages of this device heavily outweigh percieved disadvantages. Some benefits include: Productivity: A laptop allows users to use the internent in places or times a desktop would be improbable.  For example, an office worker managing their e-mails during a train commute, or a student doing their homework at a coffee shop before or after class.

Immediacy: A laptop provides instant access to various information, personal and work files.

Size/Portability: Laptops are smaller, more compact versions of desktops. This is especially beneficial when space is limited, like in small apartments and student dorms. When not in use, a laptop can be closed and put away.

Low power consumption: Laptops are several times more power-efficient than desktops. Reportedly, a typical laptop uses 20–90 W, compared to 100–800 W for desktops.

Battery: a charged laptop can continue to be used independent of electricity. So, they are unaffected by short power outages or the like.

 The wide use of laptops and invention of smaller, lighter, cheaper versions attests for the overwhelming success of the product that is targeted for 18+ adults. The concept effectively offers a solution to people who suffered from only being able to access the internet  and/or personal files from home, for a varitey of purposes.
