The computers had evolved very much in the last decades, and from really big and unpractical devices they had become really small ones, which are capable of doing very complex tasks. And of course the smallest computers are the laptops. a laptop has the same components as any PC, and it is capable of doing the same tasks, only that it is much smaller, thinner and lighter than a desktop computer. The laptops are more and more demanded by home users and in time there will probably be more laptops than desktop computers.


As we said, a laptop can do the same tasks as a PC, so this means that you can also play video games on a laptop. But not just on any cheap and weak laptop.
