Part-A
1) Laptop Specifictions.
A laptop computer (also shortened to just laptop; or called a notebook computer) is a small, portable personal computer (PC) with a “clamshell” form factor, typically having a thin LCD or LED computer screen mounted on the inside of the upper lid of the clamshell and an alphanumeric keyboard on the inside of the lower lid. The clamshell is opened up to use the computer. Laptops are folded shut for transportation, and thus are suitable for mobile use.Its name comes from lap, as it was deemed to be placed on a person’s lap when being used. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks (the former being bigger and heavier than the latter), as of 2014, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, for playing games, Internet surfing, for personal multimedia, and general home computer use.
Laptops combine all the input/output components and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, small speakers, a keyboard, hard disk drive, optical disc drive, pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad), a processor, and memory into a single unit. Most modern laptops feature integrated webcams and built-in microphones, while many also have touchscreens. Laptops can be powered either from an internal battery or by an external power supply from an AC adapter. Hardware specifications, such as the processor speed and memory capacity, significantly vary between different types, makes, models and price points.
Design elements, form factor and construction can also vary significantly between models depending on intended use. Examples of specialized models of laptops include rugged notebooks for use in construction or military applications, as well as low production cost laptops such as those from the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) organization, which incorporate features like solar charging and semi-flexible components not found on most laptop computers. Portable computers, which later developed into modern laptops, were originally considered to be a small niche market, mostly for specialized field applications, such as in the military, for accountants, or for traveling sales representatives. As the portable computers evolved into the modern laptop, they became widely used for a variety of purposes.

Identify type of Laptop and verify its specifications.
All the laptops are created different; they vary by size, weight, power, functionalities, the way users can input data, etc. But all of them are computers in small package. The laptop remains a mainstay among computer electronics. Besides with newer hardware geared towards performance, laptops are a viable option for those who want a mobile device that can do a good deal more than what a traditional tablet is capable of. Historically, people divide laptops categories as follows:
1) Ultra books
2) Netbooks
3) Tablets
4) Desktop Laptops
1) Ultra Books.
These laptops are thinner and can weigh a mere 3 pounds, but their screen can come in at around 15 inches. They run on lower-power processors for longer battery life. Usually their keyboard is smaller.
2) Netbooks.
These laptops are very small and inexpensive, with less powerful processors than most laptops and very small keyboards. This type of computers is still around, but they have been upstaged by tablets (such as Apple’s iPad or Microsoft’ Surface), which are marketed in an even sleeker package but provide more powerful resources.
3) Tablets.
Small, thin multitask laptops which have become very popular, and they have certainly exploded in popularity. Their displays range from very small monitors to rather big ones. They can be used to perform even professional tasks, as they can be really powerful (and expensive!) or, on the contrary, they can have a heftier price point…
4) Desktop Laptops.
As they name states, they are used as desktop replacements, and thus they aren’t meant to be portable, even though users can move them easily around the office or the house. These laptops weigh more (up to 5 Kg, as a rule), and they have larger displays, sometimes as big as 20 inches. They have roomier keyboards.
