                          1.  A laptop is a computer you can carry around.

                          2.  Smartphones can fit into your pocket.

                              HOW DOES A COMPUTER WORK?

                      A computer is a smart machine that helps you do many different things, but it
                      cannot work by itself. You need to give it commands or instructions to make it

                      work. Here's how it works:

                           Input: You tell the computer what to do by
                          using a keyboard, mouse or by touching the

                          screen. This is called input.

                                              Processing: After  receiving  instructions,  it  uses its  brain
                                            called a CPU (Central Processing Unit), to understand what

                                            to do next. This is called processing.

                           Storage: The computer  has a  place  to  store

                          things, like pictures, music and games so that
                          you  can  use  them  later. This place  is  called
                          storage.

                                                      Output: Once the computer  finishes processing,  it
                                                     displays  the results on the monitor.  This is called
                                                     output.

                      So, the computer listens, thinks, remembers
                      and shows what you asked for.                                 The world’s slimmest laptop, the
                                                                                    Huawei  MateBook  Fold, is  only
                                                                                    0.29 inches thick.
