It seems that everyone has a computer these days. I remember when only a few people had one and the one they had was very bulky. Now computers are so small they can fit in the space of a laptop. In fact many people use a laptop as their computer because once they undock it from the speakers, keyboard and mouse it can be taken with them. Their are many great laptop to desktop conversion kits. They essentially dock your laptop in a cradle and plug the unit, one piece with everything integrated into a single USB connection, into the USB port and its like your on a real desktop computer. You can even integrate a regular monitor into the mix or use the screen on the laptop!
