just go to admin->cms->page->design-layout page, and update the layout

 <reference name="content">
   <block type="catalog/product_list" name="mobile" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
    <action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>2</category_id></action>
</block>

  <block type="catalog/product_list" name="laptop" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
    <action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>3</category_id></action>
</block>

</reference>

OR

write that code to admin->cms->page->content

 {{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="3"  template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
 {{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="4"  template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
