Portable computers are very popular among people who travel, students and others.
They usually cost more than regular desktop computers but have smaller screens and keyboards. When purchasing a portable, consider the weight of the computer, plus all the accessories, such as power adapters, cases and printers which you might carry with it. After a portable spends a day on your shoulder, you'll notice even one extra pound. Battery life is very important if you will be using the computer without being able to plug it in. For most people, at least two hours of battery life is good.
