DESCRIBE LAPTOPS AND OTHER PORTABLE DEVICES
Note: Notebooks, laptops, and tablets are types of portable computers. For clarity and consistency in this course, all portable computers will be called laptops.
Laptops
Early laptops were heavy and expensive. Today, laptops are very popular because advances in technology have resulted in laptops that cost less, weigh less, and have improved capabilities. Many laptops can be configured with an additional video port, a FireWire port, an infrared port, or an integrated camera.
PDAs and Smartphones
PDAs and Smartphones are examples of portable, hand-held devices that are becoming more popular. PDAs offer features such as games, web surfing, e-mail, instant messaging, and many other features offered by PCs. Smartphones are cell phones with many built-in PDA capabilities. PDAs and Smartphones can run some of the same software as laptops.
After completing this section, you will meet these objectives:
* Identify some common uses of laptops.
* Identify some common uses of PDAs and Smartphones.
IDENTIFY SOME COMMON USES OF LAPTOPS
The most significant feature of a laptop is its compact size. The design of the laptop places the keyboard, screen, and internal components into a small, portable case.
Another popular feature of the laptop is its portability. A rechargeable battery allows the laptop to function when it is disconnected from an AC power source.
The first laptops were used primarily by business people who needed to access and enter data when they were away from the office. The use of laptops was limited due to expense, weight, and limited capabilities compared to less expensive desktops.
Today, laptops have lower prices and increased capabilities. A laptop is now a real alternative to a desktop computer.
Here are some common uses for the laptop:
* Taking notes in school or researching papers
* Presenting information in business meetings
* Accessing data away from home or the office
* Playing games while traveling
* Watching movies while traveling
* Accessing the Internet in a public place
* Sending and receiving e-mail in a public place
IDENTIFY SOME COMMON USES OF PDAS AND SMARTPHONES
The concept of the PDA has existed since the 1970s. The earliest models were computerized personal organizers designed to have a touch screen or a keyboard. Today, some models have both a touch screen and a keyboard and use an operating system that is similar to operating systems used on desktop computers.
The PDA is an electronic personal organizer with tools to help organize information:
* Address book
* Calculator
* Alarm clock
* Internet access
* E-mail
* Global positioning
The Smartphone is a mobile phone with PDA capabilities. Smartphones combine cell phone and computer functions in a single, handheld device. The technology of the PDA and the technology of the Smartphone continue to merge.
Smartphones may include these additional options:
* Built-in camera
* Document access
* E-mail
* Abbreviated note-taking
* Television
