Portability of Mobile devices (for example, laptops, notebooks, netbooks, smartphones, tablets

and game consoles).

Laptops- as the name of their categorization implies, laptops can be easily carried from one place
to another as they are much smaller in size when compared to desktop computers and they weigh
far less. Hence, it can be said that laptops are highly portable, especially when compared to your
classic desktop setup. Laptops are designed for mobile computing, intended to combine the
functionality of a desktop with mobility. Features such as the keyboard, display device and
mouse are built into the device. Their portability is clearly evident in day-to-day life, where
various individuals can be seen in possession of a laptop device and having little to no trouble
transporting it

Notebooks- designed to be light (2.5 to 4.5 lbs) and provide basic computing services, notebooks
possess a bit more portability than that of laptops while harboring more flexibility (pun
intended ;) in their usage. These devices possess a thickness of less than one inch, and are often
crafted utilizing materials such as aluminium and carbon fibre. The screen size may range from
11 to15 inches.

Smartphones- regardless of the originating company, smartphones are one of the most portable
devices to be created, evident by the fact that most individuals from developed nations have a
smartphone just in their pockets, whipping it out whenever they feel the need to utilize the
device. Not only are smartphones lightweight, but their size makes it so very easy to carry the
device around on one’s person as it was intended to be. They’re so portable some people might
be seen with multiple at once.

Tablets- The result of the desire to continue increasing portability while maintaining
functionality is the creation of devices such as these. Tables are also an extremely portable
device, due to their lightweight composition and smaller size than laptops. Similar to
smartphones, given you have big enough pockets, even tablets may be carried on your person
throughout day to day activities.

favourite games and playing then at any moment has become a reality via ingenious design of the
console. The utilization of light-weight parts and minimizing bulkiness has made game consoles
highly portable/ transportable.
