A laptop was a type of computer on Earth that a user literally put in their lap.

In 2020, James Kirk (whose mind was in Shaun Christopher's body) used a laptop to look at the USS Lewis & Clark's blueprints. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time)

As an educator at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Zephram Cochrane continued development on a prototype warp engine up until the onslaught of World War III. Keeping his notes in his laptop, Cochrane left MIT on foot with a mysterious man named Michael (in actuality, the Vulcan Mestral) and headed to Bozeman, Montana. (ENT short story: "Mestral")
