Laptop Computer, also known as Notebook Computer, is computer that you can carry with you thus Portable Computer. I bought my first laptop back in 1995 which costed about $5,000. It was so long ago that I even forgot who the manufacturer was. But, I loved it for the simple fact that I could carry with me where ever I go.

Since then, notebook capacity improved so great that there isn't many reason not to get laptop instead of desktop computer for most people.

You can get laptop for as little as under $500 which is sufficient enough for everyday use for most people. Use little more, say, about 1,000 and you can get laptop with everything you need. It can include webcam for video chat or video conference, wireless wifi, dvd player/writer, all in one card reader, big hard drives and lots of memory.
