About Notebook and Laptop Computers

Notebook and laptop computers are portable computers that usually feature integral keyboards and monitors. There are two basic types of devices: personal computers (PCs) and Macintosh® computers. Personal computers run Microsoft® Windows® operating systems such as Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows XP. Macintosh computers run versions of MacOS®, the operating system for Apple® Macintosh computers. Microsoft and Windows are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation. Apple, Macintosh, and MacOS are registered trademarks of Apple Computers, Inc. Notebook and laptop computers that run UNIX® and Linux® are also available. UNIX, a family of multi-user operating systems, is a registered trademark of The Open Group. Linux, an open-source implementation of UNIX, is a registered trademark of Linus Torvlads.

Selecting notebook and laptop computers requires an analysis of memory and storage specifications. Most devices include random access memory (RAM) or Flash memory. Some computers include integrated drive electronics (IDE) or proprietary technologies such as CompactFlash®, a registered trademark of SanDisk Corp. Other computers include a tape drive, a 1.44 MB 3.5” floppy drive, or removable magneto-optic (MO) storage technology. Notebook and laptop computers with drives that can read or record compact disks (CDs) are commonly available. Compact disk read-only memory (CD-ROM) drives can read but not record information. By contrast, compact disk recordable (CD-R) drives can write once and read many times while compact disk rewritable (CD-RW) drives can read, write, erase, and rewrite disks. Disk drives that can read or record digital versatile disks (DVDs) are also available.
