How can be a laptop different from a desktop?

Because laptops are designed for portability, there are several significant differences between laptops and desktop computers. A laptop has an all-in-one design, with a built-in monitor, keyboard, touch-pad (which replaces the mouse), and speakers. This means it is completely functional, even when there are no peripherals attach to it. A laptop is faster to set up, and there are fewer cables to get in the way.

There is also the choice of connecting a normal mouse, larger monitor, and other peripherals. This essentially turns your laptop into a desktop computer, with one major dissimilarity: You can simply detach the peripherals and take the laptop with you wherever you go.

Here are the major differences you can anticipate with a laptop lots:

Touch-pad: A touch-pad (also called a track pad) is a touch-responsive pad that lets you control the pointer by making a "drawing" movement with your finger. Many touch-pad’s now contain multi-touch gesture, which permit you to execute definite tasks by making gestures with more than one finger. For example, a pinch motion is often used to zoom in or out.

Battery: each laptop has batteries, which allow you to use the laptop when it's not plug in. Whenever you plug in the laptop, the battery recharge. Another advantage of having a battery is that it can give backup power to the laptop if the power goes out.

AC adapter: A laptop generally has a particular power cable called an AC adapter, which is designed to be used with that exacting kind of laptop. Some of these cable use magnetic Mag Safe connectors that will carefully pull out if someone trips over the power cable. This helps to stop damage to the cable and the laptop.

Ports: Most laptops have the same type of ports that desktop computers have (such as USB), even though they usually have less ports to save space. However, some ports may be dissimilar, and you may need an adapter in organize to use them. For example, the monitor port is often a Mini Display Port, which is a slighter version of the normal Display Port.
