Do Laptop Computers Have a Future?

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.
