Laptop touchpad

Laptops don't generally come with a mouse. Instead, laptops have a smooth, rectangular, touch-sensitive area in front of the keyboard. Moving your finger across the touchpad moves the cursor across the screen.

Typically, one or two clickable buttons beneath or beside the touchpad act like mouse buttons. Some laptops have a tiny joystick built into the keyboard instead of a touchpad.

A touchpad is more fiddly to use than a mouse, but it’s possible to attach a mouse instead if you prefer.

Keyboard on a laptop

Unsurprisingly, a laptop’s keyboard is smaller than the ones that come with a desktop computer. The keys are closer together, and may also be smaller.

Because the keyboard is built into the body of the laptop, you may find that it’s not as comfortable to use as desktop keyboards that you can move around. It’s a good idea to try out a laptop’s keyboard before you buy, to ensure you get one you're comfortable with.

Unless you're using your laptop on the move, you always have the option to plug in a larger keyboard and a mouse to make things more comfortable. Like desktops, laptops come with USB ports, and often FireWire ports, for adding peripheral devices.

Laptop battery life

While all laptops come with a power supply for connection to the mains, they also have an internal battery for use on the move. Expect your laptop’s battery such as Toshiba PA3399U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3395U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3250U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3356U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3291U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3506U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba PA3591U-1BRS Battery, Toshiba Portege 4000 Battery, Toshiba Satellite A10 Battery, Toshiba Satellite A100 Battery to last a few hours rather than days.

Power-hungry tasks such as watching a DVD or using the wireless connection will drain the battery more quickly than day-to-day office tasks.

If battery life is particularly important to you, check whether the manufacturer offers a long-life battery for your chosen model.
