What does LAPTOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
A portable personal computer with a built-in screen and keyboard, light enough to be used on one's knees.
A laptop folds shut like a book and runs on a battery, so it can go from desk to train to cafe in a single bag. The name appeared in the 1980s as makers shrank the older luggable machines, and modern models rival desktop computers in power. Writers sometimes use the word to mean a style of working away from an office, as in laptop lifestyle. It should not be confused with a tablet, which has no attached keyboard.
