Technical Descriptions

Charlotte, Harper, and Avery are studying in a library. Charlotte pulls out a device from her bag. It consists of a compact screen and a built-in keyboard for input. Inside, it houses a central processing unit (CPU) and memory chips that work together to process and store information. The screen displays the output of the tasks being performed, and the keyboard allows her to type and input commands. It's a handy, self-contained computing tool that can be easily carried and used anywhere she goes. What is this device that Charlotte is using?
