Techopedia Explains Laptop
The first commercially available laptop computer, the IBM 5100, came out in 1975. Over time, new developments in component size and processing power have made these computers increasingly functional and practical. However, laptops are more expensive than desktop computers because they require much smaller components, which are more expensive to make.
