Read this paragraph and answer the question below.


	Laptop designers might find new ways to successfully beat their competition.

	New technology is constantly developing very quickly - so maybe there is no clear answer to the question.

Do Laptop Computers Have a Future?

Future versions of laptop computers will probably be very different from what we have today. Laptops are now thinner and lighter than before, the keyboard is easier to use and the battery has a much longer life, but they are still similar in design and not very different from previous versions of laptops. However, it is still not clear how laptops will be able to compete with much smaller devices such as tablets, e-readers and mobile phones that have access to internet.

The writer of the above paragraph asks whether laptop computers have a future, but he does not give his readers a clear answer. Why do you think the writer does not give a definite answer?
