What type of support you need

Laptop

Reason

Why do you need this support (Internet and/or laptop)

Presently I am using my office laptop for editing on Wikipedia.This laptop contain lot of my office and personal family data which is required most of the time by my office and family members.It restrict my wiki time to a great extent and have limited access to it for Wiki purpose.Moreover I try to make new editors while moving out of home and office but feel handicapped as I can't take my office laptop with me as it is required by office in working hours and by my family members during non working hours.I have placed an idea on Meta under inspire Campaign to adopt "Each One Teach One Approach"[5] for adding new editors.To materialize this idea also I need a laptop for teaching new editors to Wikipedia movement.In addition to it I have placed another idea on Meta under 'Inspire Campaign' "Metropolitans Multilingual Multiplier (MMM)" .I used to make presentations in various Wiki and non wiki forums like given on following links [6],[7],[8]. I also used to contribute articles in print media (see s.no 1-3 on following link) [9]which require a laptop.To add multilingual content on Wikipedi and add new editors through above mentioned User Groups founded by me and to materialise the ideas proposed under Inspire Campaign I need an independent laptop.Moreover my present laptop is not in good condition and it is not working properly and hindering Wiki work presently.It may be non functional at anytime and stop my Wiki activities.
