but I was under the impression that on a desktop, one hides the "hardware" behind the PC (or under the keyboard, or someplace) so that it can do the logging...and then it gets removed later. I don't see how that works on a laptop, assuming you keep all the ports visible and don't connect it to anything else. If there is some other way to do it via hardware, I'd like to know.

Same way it happens on a desktop I would assume - it records all your
keystrokes and then it is either removed or accessed remotely and the
strokes are extracted.  It's not easy but you can sometimes extract
information like logins.  For example, on a normal system, the first
string is going to be your Windows login/password.

How does a hardware keylogger work on a laptop?
