A laptop computer is a personal computer that is portable or easy to carry around, and is

similar to a desktop computer because it incorporates all of the same elements. Laptops are
designed for internet use, producing documents, graphic design, storing files, and
communicating with others.

The laptop originated in the military, but was not widely used like the desktop computer,
because it was too small for personal use. Also, it did not have ideal storage capacity.
However,
technological advancements have greatly improved a laptops storage capabilities. Making it
a
widely used instrument in the business industry and for scholars as well. Also, laptops are
highly
priced in comparison to desktop computers. Even so, there are some laptops that are priced
much lower than desktop computers, but they are not equipped to store information like
regular laptops.
The laptop operates with the use of battery power, or can be plugged into an
electrical outlet. It performs typed commands, and is used to communicate with others or to
produce documents and designs. Furthermore, laptops have internal software storage
capabilities, and some laptops are enclosed for high performance gaming
The laptop has several main parts, the monitor, keyboard, mouse, computer memory,
hard disk, motherboard, and the central processing unit.

Description of Parts and their Functions

keyboard. The key board is a device that is used to input information, and it can be
compared to
a typewriter, because it has letter keys and symbols. Also, these keys transmit electrical
signals,
which register inside the keyboard’s circuitry.
Mouse. The Mouse is a plastic device that is used to point objects and to detect two
dimensional motion. The mouse translates the motion of a person’s hand into the computer
by
using mechanical sensors.
Monitor. The monitor is an output device that resembles a television screen. It transmits
commands, and it displays commands in the form of text, images, or graphics.
Memory. Memory is stored inside silicone chips built into the computer, and it is used to
store large amounts of information, and to store temporary files or permanent files.
Hard Disk. Hard disk is the part of the computer’s disk drive, which stores digitally encoded
data.
Motherboard. Mother board is a socket on the side of the computer, which is used to install
or
connect additional components.
Central processing Unit. Central processing unit is an electronic circuit that executes
commands

implied by computer program instructions.

Operating Description and Conclusion

A person operating a laptop can accomplish many different tasks, because its main
function is
to respond to commands that allow it to produce documents, retrieve information or
communicate with others. Commands are typed into the keyboard, and are executed by the
computer processor, these signals are then transmitted on the computer monitor. In addition,
a
person can operate a mouse, and command the laptop to do certain tasks. For example, an
individual can open and close files, or may also choose to design documents with the use of
a
mouse.
The Laptop is very efficient because it can produce large projects. This makes it a very
valuable
tool for entrepreneurs, and the demand for portable computers has also grown in the past
few
years, because current laptops have greater storage capacity, and modern laptops can
perform
many of the same tasks as regular desktop computers.

SCISSORS
The following information explains the scissors and their individual parts. The scissors (see Figure 1) are used
to cut various thin materials such as paper and cloth. They are approximately 15 cm long, made of steel and
they can be easily held in one hand. The scissors consist of the following parts: two blades, a pin and two handles
ending with two finger holes.

BLADES
The two blades are the flat parts of the scissors that consist of two sharp cutting edges. Each blade is 7 cm long.
The inner side of a blade is very sharp while the external side is designed precisely to prevent injuring the user.
The two blades are joined in such a way that the cutting edges slide against each other and cut a particular
material. The blades of well designed scissors lie on the top of each other and remain in contact whenever the
scissors are closed.
 SCISSORS’ PIVOT POINT
The pivot point is a central point that is usually represented by a pin. The place of the pivot point depends on the
length of the scissor so that it balances the scissors’ parts and makes it stable. The pin allows the two handles
to slide against each other and ensures that the closing action of the scissors is done easily with the minimum
effort.

HANDLES AND FINGERS HOLES

The handle is the area between a blade and a finger hole. The length of the two handles depends on the location
of the central point that balances the two sides of the scissors. The two handles end with two finger holes of
almost the same size. Holding the scissor from these two holes using the thumb and the index finger allows the
user to close or open its blades. The two handles with the finger holes are usually made of plastic but sometimes
they are made of steel.
