Model Answer 1:
The computer is one of the latest inventions and we cannot do a day without 
the help of computers. It is a must in our life and I want to have a laptop 
computer for me as I have to travel in different places for my occupational 
purposes. 
Though I have a desktop computer at home and another one at my office, I 
want to get a laptop of a renowned brand. There are several reasons for this 
decision. Firstly I have to travel in many parts of the country for research 
purposes. So, when I am on my trip, it becomes tougher for me to 
communicate with the office or other relevant people. If I have a laptop 
computer with me, I could be easily communicating with them. Moreover, 
carrying a laptop is easier than shifting a desktop computer. Being a light 
device, I can keep it with me always wherever I go and with a modem, I could 
be connected to my virtual world as well. 
The laptop is a familiar electronic machine in the current days. I came to know 
about the use of laptop from my real life experience. Once I went in Andhra 
Pradesh, a southeastern region in India, for some research works. I had no 
such electronic machine with me to preserve the research data. I had to script 
them manually and take the copies with me always. But unfortunately, some 
of the scripts were missing that made me suffer a lot. When I returned my 
office, I noticed the issue and could not recover the data as I did not know 
where I lost them. If I had a laptop, I could have preserved them well. Hence, 
the necessity to have a laptop appeared in my mind and I came to know about 
different types of laptops. 
A laptop has many features and specifically mobility is the top of them. I will be 
able to carry the little machine everywhere and start working with that. Power 
saving is another feature for a laptop. Often I go to places where there are 
limited electricity facilities and with a laptop, I could work without electricity 
for longer hours as laptop batteries preserve power. Moreover, I could be 
connected with the Internet always and transfer or receive necessary data with 
my office. Often I need to reach my family members and with a laptop, I could 
use the communicating software like Skype or Google Hangout to talk or chat

with them. Working always may appear boring and I could also use the laptop 
to watch movies or to play songs. 
Laptop is a tiny attractive machine. It is available in different size and shape 
and I would like to have a small piece among them. There are many reasons to 
have a laptop and mobility is one of them (as I said earlier). I think a laptop will 
make my life effective. It will help preserving time and efforts. Writing research 
proposals and reports manually is difficult indeed. With a laptop, I can do the 
tasks smoothly and effectively. Usually, I waste my leisure hours without any 
effective act but if I have a laptop, definitely I would use that for some 
effective purposes like scripting any proposal or proofing any document or 
read books. It will be a part of my daily life.
