portables
Easy-carry electronics
Portables are things designed to be easily carried or moved.
The word typically appears as a noun referring to portable objects—laptop computers, portable toilets, or small buildings that can be relocated, like the temporary classrooms schools add when enrollment spikes.
The school set up three new portables to handle the overflow.
In broadcasting, a portable is a small, battery-operated radio or television set.
