Audience
This overview is intended for existing users of desktop computers that may be considering a notebook to either replace or supplement their desktop computer. This paper covers only those external notebook features that may vary from a desktop computer.
Notebook Computer notebook computer is a battery- or AC-powered personal computer generally smaller than a briefcase. Unlike desktop machines, notebooks can easily be transported and conveniently used in temporary spaces such as on airplanes, in libraries, temporary offices, and at meetings. A notebook computer, sometimes called a laptop computer, typically weighs less than 5 pounds and is 3 inches or less in thickness.

This hardware is not required to connect input/out devices, but makes the process easier because the devices only need to be connected once as opposed to being disconnected every time the notebook leaves the office and reconnected every time the notebook is brought back into the office.

Not shown, but on the back of the computer are serial ports that allow external monitors and keyboards to be used with the notebook. This can be quite useful for office work, where it's possible to take advantage of larger devices to obtain better viewing and typing capabilities.
TouchPad
Directly below the key board is the TouchPad. The TouchPad is the way the Prasario 700 integrates a mouse into the keypad. Like the mouse, the TouchPad lets you draw lines or point to items on the Windows desktop. The Left TouchPad button works as the select or drag button and the…

The family may be a source of stress, tension, and problems, and can drive its individuals to cope with these problems in harmful ways, such as by use of drugs and alcohol (UNDCP, 1995).
