The information technology needs of almost all businesses involve computers in some way. Many companies that use a remote or mobile workforce will likely use laptops. A laptop is great for the mobile and remote workforce because it has a keyboard (may include touchpoint mouse in IBM designed machines), mouse (touchpad) and monitor (often called a display, screen or LCD) built into the computer.
Laptop capabilities are often expanded using a docking station. A docking station is essentially a USB device that allows you to have a permanent work station set up while providing the capability to remove the laptop for travel. Docking stations allow for multiple monitors, hard wire network connections and peripherals such as a larger keyboard and handheld mouse.
Some laptops can be streamlined further and include a touchscreen. The keyboard can be removed or stored on the computer. The Microsoft Surface Pro and Lenovo Yoga series are examples of hybrid laptop/tablets and usually have Windows operating systems.
Some laptops such as the Lenovo P series are large and powerful. They can be transported but are very heavy and require a lot of power.
