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.

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.

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.
