Laptops have been a preferred choice of computing for people on the move - business executives mostly.

In the times of Covid-19, it has become an essential device for the entire work-from-home staffers of many companies.

Slim laptop prices at a glance:

One of the central attraction of this piece of gadget is its compact design. Unlike a desktop which by its very design needs a monitor, CPU, keyboard and a mouse, a laptop can do with one machine that has all of the above. For the sake of convenience, some may opt for a mouse and a separate monitor (like gamers ad multimedia professionals) but for both parts, the machine is self sufficient. This makes it a compact device, which means less wires and cables as well. This also meant that it is mobile in character and can be taken where ever one goes, quite unlike a desktop. Its portability has added to laptop's appeal over the years. 

However, a downside to using a laptop has been its weight. Till some years back, laptops would weigh approximately 2.5 kgs, which would make it tough to carry every once in a while. As technology has evolved, over the years, the weight of laptops have come down dramatically. Most thin or slim laptops come in the vicinity of 1.5 kgs, which makes them a very lucrative option. All this without compromising on their computing abilities.
