Laptop
A laptop is a portable personal computer that integrates a display, keyboard, touchpad or pointing device, and internal components like a processor, memory, and storage into a single compact unit. It is designed for mobile use, powered by a rechargeable battery, and commonly runs operating systems such as Windows, macOS, or Linux. Laptops enable developers to work remotely, code on-the-go, and perform tasks like software development, testing, and debugging from virtually anywhere.
Developers should use a laptop as their primary computing device because it provides the flexibility to work from different locations, such as offices, homes, or coffee shops, which is essential for remote work, freelancing, and collaborative projects. It allows for rapid prototyping, running development environments like IDEs (e.g., Visual Studio Code), and testing applications across various platforms, making it indispensable for modern software development workflows that require mobility and adaptability.
