Text and translation

This laptop is lighter than my old one. Its screen is brighter, but it is slightly smaller. The other model is more expensive. It has a faster processor and a larger keyboard. I travel often, so a lighter laptop is more useful to me. I do not need the most expensive model for my work.

هذا الحاسوب المحمول أخف من حاسوبي القديم. شاشته أكثر سطوعًا، لكنها أصغر قليلًا. الطراز الآخر أغلى ثمنًا. فيه معالج أسرع ولوحة مفاتيح أكبر. أسافر كثيرًا، لذا يفيدني الحاسوب الأخف أكثر. لا أحتاج إلى أغلى طراز لأداء عملي.
