because you can put it in your lap while working on it, and you really cant put a big computer on your lap, thats why its called a DESKtop.

Laptops were designed for the traveler, mainly used on planes and places where a table or desk was not available, so it would be used on a lap.
A "tabletop" would be a standard desktop machine.

Because you can put any computer on a chair or table. The name is a nod to the fact that those smaller, portable computers are lightweight and compact enough to be used on one's lap. You would really be uncomfortable if you put a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and CPU on your lap.

Because you can use them in your lap I suppose. Also, tabletop sounds worse and desktop is alredy in use.

Tabletas para cualquiera, desde las más básicas hasta las más avanzadas en amazon siempre hay el mejor precio. He comprado y antes tabletas en amazon y siempre me he quedad sin ellas porque son de muy buena calidad así que he querido comprarme la mejor tableta disponible solo para mí, la tableta esta aun mejor que en la descripción y vale cada céntimo que lo he pagado, la pantalla es perfecta, tiene 12.5, excelente para una tableta, va perfectamente porque tiene una buena cantidad de memoria RAM y un buen procesador, al final la tableta es mucho mejor que mi portátil, una excelente compra.

pc are desktops, so portable computers are laptops.
and mini ones are palm pilots, although those arent REALLY computers, but they do the same job, nowadays.
