Designed to facilitate productivity on the go, laptops and PDAs come in a variety of shapes and sizes to fit various computing needs. Some version of Microsoft Windows comes standard with almost all laptops, but if you’re a Mac user your only choices are Apple iBooks and PowerBooks loaded with Macintosh OS X. Options abound for most laptops, including CD and DVD players and recorders, portable printers, internal and wireless modems for Internet connectivity and more.

Screen sizes can be as large as 17 inches (diagonal), handy if you want to watch movies, or as small as 8.9 inches for a lighter and more portable laptop. Laptop weights range between a bulky full-size laptop of nearly 10 pounds to a sleek four pounds. Nearly any software that can be loaded on a standard desktop computer can also be loaded on a laptop.
