2. LAPTOP
Laptop computers are small personal computers
designed for using on the move. They usually
have all the functions of a desktop computer but
are portable space-savers. Today there are more
laptops sold in the general PC market than
desktop computers so they must have their
advantages over traditional PCs. There are many
benefits to using a lap top computer

6. Portability
By far, the biggest advantage that laptops have over
desktops is their portability. The small size and light
weight of a laptop, combined with the complete
integration of the components, enables people to take
laptops just about anywhere. Whether you are headed to
another country for a business trip, want to take your
work with you on your subway commute or simply want
to surf the web from the comfort of your couch, a laptop
fits the bill.
ADVANTAGES OF LAPTOP

7. Uses Less Space
Laptops use much less space than a desktop, which
typically has a somewhat unwieldy tower that is separate from
the monitor, although desktops are becoming more and more
streamlined as smaller components are introduced. Since a
laptop has battery power, it can be used without a cord,
whereas a desktop may not. People who live in small spaces
frequently prefer laptops for this reason, as do individuals who
like their living area to have a minimalist appearance.
ADVANTAGES OF LAPTOP

8. More Difficult to Repair
Once you've purchased a laptop, you'd better hope
that nothing goes wrong with it. Unlike most desktops,
which can be repaired by a local computer technician or
even an experienced owner, laptops must often be
shipped to the manufacturer for repairs, or the warranty
may be invalidated. The result is that many laptop repairs
are much more expensive than a similar repair on a
desktop.
DISADVANTAGES OF LAPTOP

9. Less Memory, Slower
A laptop will typically have less RAM, a slower
processor and a smaller hard drive. This is not necessarily
a reason to reject a laptop, however. Unless you use the
large amounts of memory and processing speed required
for such pursuits as gaming and video editing, chances are
the specifications that a laptop offers will be sufficient for
your needs.
DISADVANTAGES OF LAPTOP

10. BUSINESS REASONS TO HAVE
LAPTOPS
When you are considering the purchase of a laptop
computer for your company, you need to know the
business reasons for having a laptop so you can justify
your purchase. A return on investment for business
equipment makes it easier for you to plan a purchase.
In order to determine the potential return on this
investment, you need to become familiar with the
benefits a laptop offers.

11. Depreciation
Technology changes constantly, and the swift changes
in computer equipment can make certain types of
equipment obsolete quickly. This reduces the potential
resale value of the equipment and speeds up the rate at
which you will lose money on the investment.
REASONS TO HAVE LAPTOPS

12. Presentations
Business presentations can be anxious moments for
the traveling business professional. If you have a business
laptop, you can prepare your entire presentation,
including setting it up for display through a projector, and
know that there will not be any compatibility issues with
using a computer at the meeting site.
REASONS TO HAVE LAPTOPS

13. Storage
One of the practical reasons to use a laptop for your
business is the space it saves in your office. Desktop space
that can be used for important papers that would
normally be taken up by a desktop computer would be
freed up by a laptop. A laptop also can be safely stored in a
secure location to protect your information and make
sure that no proprietary company information is
compromised by a thief.
REASONS TO HAVE LAPTOPS

14. Accessibility
A laptop with a wireless network connection can use any
available wireless signal to connect to the Internet. The
advantage a business laptop offers over a cell phone or
other wireless device is full computing power and
availability of your business files. When you bring a laptop
with you, all of your important business information is at
your fingertips, and you can make permanent changes to
documents when necessary.
