The advantages of using laptop computers over desktop computers
Mobile people need mobile computers.If you, or your employees, have to spend much time traveling, it is impossible to work from a desktop computer that is stationary.By using a laptop, however, work can be done from virtually anywhere and work requiring the use of the internet can be done anywhere there is a wireless signal.Mobile technology is just as important in computing as it is in communications.Think of how lost you would be if you were still tied to a landline all of the time.The desktop computer is analogous to a landline telephone that is attached to a wall.
You can use a laptop in your tent-honestly.This might not be a selling point for a lot of people, but it is for me.My battery will give about 4 or 5 hours of power so, by carrying a second battery, I find that I am able to get plenty of writing done from any location.Recently I sat out a rainstorm in the High San Juans of Colorado and rewrote a chapter of my dissertation.The ability to use a laptop computer far away from any power source is, in my opinion, one of the greatest advantages.You don't need any sort of a signal or anything, just a charged battery.You don't even need a light! There are fewer connections on a lap top-even low-tech people who don't know how to run a DVD player can use a laptop computer.If you use the batteries, the laptop doesn't even require a cord.However, most of the time you will probably have your laptop plugged into a power source. This is a one-connection deal.The cord goes into the computer and the plug goes into a socket on the wall; no fuss, no muss.Look at the maze of cords used to run your desktop computer, your keyboard, monitor, tower, printer, speakers, DSL modem, etc. all have wires connecting to each other in one way or another.It can be complex.If your dogs like to sit next to the computer in the winter time like mine do, it can also become a disaster!Minimize complexity in your life by minimizing cords and connections-check out laptop technology. Spend less time transferring files-before getting a laptop I was always transferring files and emailing documents to myself so I would be sure to have them on whatever computer I ended up using.That worked fine as long as I could get a connection.Now, I just use my laptop computer and take all of my files with me all of the time.I used to juggle my home computer, my work computer, and my school computer and I would often hear myself say, "That's on another computer; I'll send it to you later".Well, those days are over.With the laptop, all documents are with me all the time.
