Best Answer

Sometimes, instead of a hard disk, solid-state memory, like what is in a USB drive (or thumb drive or USB stick, etc...), is used in laptops. More often, the hard drive is simply made physically less big to fit into the laptop computer's frame. A good example of miniaturized hard drives are large-capacity iPods, which store their data on a tiny hard drive within the device.

Is the Floppy disk an input device or output device?

It's both. You can read the data on the disk making it an input device, and you can write data to the disk making it an output device.A floppy disk is a storage device. There is often confusion about this, as the user could be seen to be "inputting data" by inserting a disk or "outputting" by removing it, but in actuality the floppy disk is a storage device.
