A portable computer larger than a Notebook Computer but smaller than a desktop. A laptop typically weighs 10-25 pounds, uses a Liquid Crystal Display instead of a CRT display, and operates on rechargeable batteries, with a back-hinged top that allows use in one's lap, making it possible to use while traveling, though bulky compared to notebook computers.
