come with different cores, allowing users to run multiple programs at the same time.
This can be especially helpful for people who need to work on multiple projects at the
same time. Finally, laptops have various features that make them easier to use. They
often come with touchscreens, backlit keyboards, and other features that make them more convenient and useful.
