Portable Devices
A Portable Device is something small that you can carry in your hand or take around in a bag with you. Your Phone is a Portable Device and so is a laptop. Some laptops may be big but it is still a portable device, a desktop isn't a portable device as once you have set it up you cant pick it up and take it around with you.
