Laptops are even bigger,and they are heavier than palmtops and notebooks.
We call them laptops because you can put them on your lap while you work.
The biggest computers most of us use are desktops.

Size is relative.When we say that an oak tree is very tall,we mean it is tall compared with similar trees.
But an oak tree is small compared with a giant redwood tree.
The tallest oak tree can grow to a maximum of forty meters.
But the giant redwood tree grows to a height of ninety meters.
The lowest branch of the biggest of the big trees forty-five meters from the ground1
It is two meters in diameter and forty-fiv meters long.
The branch alone is bigger than the biggest oak tree in the world!
Age is relative,the oldest oak tree in England is william the Conqueror's Oak in Windsor Park.
People say it is about 1,000 years old.By comparison,
the oldest giant redwood in California is least 4,000 years old and still growing,just like you!
