There are certain criteria to follow when making this decision, but at the end of the day it comes down to whether you are happy with a system fixed in one place or require complete portability:-
- If you’re constantly on-the-move and need the companionship of a computer for whatever the reason, then a laptop should be top of your list. If your work depends on it, with a laptop you can literally work anywhere – on a train, bus or plane. If you use one for fun, you can take it with you on holiday and to the beach; and if you can connect to the internet, not only will you be then envy of those around you who can’t watch daytime repeats of Eastenders on the iPlayer whilst getting an all over tan, but you’ll also be able to do a different kind of surfing. Watch out for the sand though – it gets everywhere!!
Laptops have come down in price over recent years so are now affordable to all and available everywhere. Tesco the grocery shop even sells them, not only that they are good models as well. If you use Tesco direct and have a Tesco credit card you get double points plus free delivery so you don't even have to leave the house. PC world are also one to keep your eye on for good deals.
In the workplace, laptops are completely mobile and more importantly they come in one piece. They can be carried into meetings and used for a variety of tasks from accessing the in-house computer network to linking up to the internet for the purpose of accessing additional resources that may be needed. For presentations and accessibility laptops are a dream-come-true as they can be moved to wherever they are needed without the need for re-housing and re-cabling. How long would it take to dismantle a desktop, move it all to the other side of the building and re-assemble it?? And then would it work?
