Untitled DocumentChoosing a Notebook Computer:
Choosing a portable computer, usually called a laptop or notebook, is in many ways similar to choosing a standard desktop computer. Think about your computer needs and balance those with cost. Just remember that bigger screens and extra features usually mean more weight, and the whole point of buying this kind of computer over a desktop model is its portability.
Here's a quick rundown of the advantages and disadvantages between desktop and notebook computers:
Desktop computers are...
Generally less expensive than notebooks.
Usually have bigger keyboards and larger screens.
Are difficult to transport.
Often bulky and can take up a lot of desk space.
Notebook computers are...
Lightweight and easy to take anywhere.
Small and take up very little space.
Usually more expensive than desktop models with similar features.
More difficult to upgrade and repair.
More susceptible to dropping and/or breaking.
If you decide that a notebook computer is what you want, the next step is to choose the correct machine to fit your needs. Use the scenarios below to determine the notebook that's right for you, based on how you want to use it.
The Basic Home User
Wants a desktop replacement packed with the same features of a desktop computer, or a mid-size budget-friendly notebook that balances performance with portability.
The Student on a Budget
Wants a notebook that balances features with price, and that is small, lightweight and rugged enough to be carried around campus.
The Business Traveler
Wants a thin, light and portable notebook for use at the office, at home, and on the road. It must also be powerful enough to perform well with a variety of business applications.
The Multimedia Guru or Gamer
Wants to true desktop replacement packed with graphic-related features. Sacrifices some notebook portability for the ultimate in power, speed and space.
The Frequent Flier
Wants the most portable notebook possible, sacrificing some features in favor of a machine that is extremely small and lightweight. An ultraportable notebook is as small and light as they come.
