3. battery only last as long as it says if you are using word 4. touch pad mouse is not as easy to use as a regular mouse, but at least it's better for using either lefty or righty. 5. USB slots everywhere  6. From what I've seen, tend to be way faster than desktop computers 7. portable 8. come in hideous colors only a chick would like. |

I had so many issues with the touchpad mouse at first. It took me weeks to realize I was running my finger over the little bar on the side that's used for scrolling. I've gotten the hang of it now though.

Another pet peeve about laptops is that they heat up pretty quickly due to battery use. Don't plan on benefiting from the "lap" aspect of it after 10 hours of online time. Send help, or bring pants.

Another negative is that they're rather small and the urge to use it as a frisbee can be very strong at times.

I think Laptops are abit slow. Or maybe it's because I have a few routers. There's still no reason for a computer to go that slow unless it's got hordes of viruses.

I have a real one, not some dumb little toy one that you can throw...though chucking the 6 pounds of metal and plastic at someone's head does sound appealing |
