Laptop Vs. Desktop

When you are determining between a laptop and desktop you have to ask yourself a few basicquestions. Go ahead and write this info down It always helps when you are making a significantpurchase to see everything on paper.

Ask yourself these questions ::

Why do you really want the Laptop?

Why do you want the Desktop?

What do you Doubt about the Laptop?

What do you Doubt about the Desktop?

Pretty simple so far. You have to really be honest. If you want a laptop because they "look cool" thenwrite "because they are cool. Now for a few technical questions. Write these down as well.

How often do you use your computer Daily? Weekly?

Do you turn your computer off or is it on all day and night?

Do you do processor intensive tasks when you use a computer? (Word and Excell are not consideredprocessor intensive)

Do you save large files?

Are you concerned with having More Desk Space?

Do you Travel?

Do you use a computer once you get home from work?

Do you use your computer whith 3 or more programs running at a time?

Do you switch between windows often?

Can you stay in the same program all day?

OK now look over the list and the answers may start to become more clear as you look at what youwrote. Its perfectly fine to want the newest latest equipment out there, I do! If you use alot ofprograms at the same time you may need to consider A desktop. If you Travel you may consider alaptop. If you are like me I need both. I like to keep mobile if needed. But I do have a decent sizedpowerfull laptop that runs video editing and graphic design software. I have an external monitorhooked into it so that my screen real-estate is not taken away.

If you do any type of word processing on a daily basis such as typing simple letters. Reading andresponding to emails. Setting contacts and phone numbers in a contact manager. Controllingappointments and meetings with a calendar program... then a laptop would be perfect for you and Idoubt that you would ever notice it being too slugish.

If you do intensive processor work such as Video editing, CAD programs, Intensive Application andor web programming, work with large amounts of data at one time, work with high end largedatabases over a network or within your own computer, Graphic design, specialzed programmingsuch as testing and scientific software. Any of those programs you may want to consider the desktop.The second group of programs creates files or end products that are normally more High demand orpossible High risk files. These files will usually be backed up 2 or more times by the user or networkmanager.

Not that the simple data processing and data management files are not as important but they can berecreated much easier than a 3d model of a concept car could be.

So you find a happy medium. I use both personally, laptop at home and desktop at work.

As silly as it may sound it Laptops are portable, and Desktops are Powerful.

When it comes down to it buy what you really want, and try to get a good deal for your price range.There are many nice powerful products on the market. Find the one that fits you after all you'll beusing it every day. There is nothing worse than trying to work with a computer that does notfunction properly for your needs. Buy the best machine that you can afford! :)

Cheers!
