Local Computer Monitoring refers to the method of monitoring your computer by silently keeping a record of computer use on the computer itself, to be securely reviewed when desired. You would use a local monitoring technique for a local computer that you own and have regular access.
Laptops and desktops work the same, laptops use the same operating system as desktops, but users sacrifice desktop hardware customization for the laptop's portability. Remote monitoring of a laptop would not work when the laptop is offline, so you would typically want to use a local monitoring solution.
