Notebooks generally operate on one main battery or via an external adapter that can both charge the battery and power the laptop.

Laptops are able to do the same work in an office staff, the only difference is that they are generally less powerful for the same cost. They contain similar elements, such as desktop computers and perform the same functions, except that they are miniature in size and suitable for use transportable and efficient energy consumption. Notebooks usually have different LCD and memory modules. They have a built-in keyboard; entry is through a keyboard or a pointing stick, but an external mouse can also be attached.

There are different categories of laptops. UMPCs are Ultra Mobile PC and are very portable.

However, all laptops have power management features to extend battery or battery power when the battery is low. A notebook differs from a desktop in terms of food, display and the type of input devices it uses. Notebook processors usually have several places, which means slow modes which contribute to increasing the battery life and can also run on low voltage. Hard drive in the notebook also served in the same manner as in Desktop. They are slower in speed and have less capacity.

In addition to the hard drives, notebooks are also options for disk storage system such as floppy disks, CDs and DVDs.
