marketsvoice Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Decide If a Laptop Is Right for You A laptop is a notebook-sized computer that generally incorporates all of the other features you've come to depend on every day. Smaller than a desktop computer, a laptop usually includes a monitor, a keyboard, a system unit and a mouse or touch pad. There are plenty of advantages to owning a laptop. The No. 1 reason people get laptops is because they can bring them anywhere--the beach, to church or even to the bathroom--so if you're constantly on the go, a laptop will come in very handy. Laptops are also lighter and much more compact than a desktop computer, so they'll help you save tons of space. And when you're not using it, you can fold it up in a briefcase and store it. However, laptops have their disadvantages, too. Because laptops are so compact, they are always a step behind desktops when it comes to capability and efficiency. You're going to have to sacrifice decent sound devices, keyboard comfort and your mouse for the sake of portability. Also, if you're planning on adding stuff onto your computer, get yourself a desktop and not a laptop. While upgrading a laptop is not entirely impossible, it's often impossible to add elements like RAM and hard drives without shipping the entire computer back to the manufacturer. And even if you do decide to upgrade, you're still limited in the selection of extra equipment: Most laptops require that you install parts manufactured by the same company. Quote

Even though others are thinking that laptops are still recommendable than desktops because they are portable, there are disadvantages, and you're right with that. Others do think that having a laptop makes you more comfortable, especially if you're a professional, or if you're engaged in business. But others still prefer desktop because desktop has everything. Some laptops [notebooks] don't have a DVD drive, and that's important for some. So with this, think twice before making a decision. Think and decide on what will suit you. Not everything that you want is visibly present in a product. Quote

I will always go with laptop as i generally prefer to do work while traveling and all other disadvantages like use of mouse and keyboard can be overcome by using an external keyboard and mouse. I generally dont prefer to do work sitting at same place and so i will always prefer laptop then desktop. Quote

salim_hosen Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Try HP. It is a famous and good laptop company. I have seen many user use HP and they tell me that HP is good for them. Quote
dawid1234 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 There are lots of laptops in the market. Best way to choose any laptop to follow step by step approach. First decide your requirements. Then decide the budget. 3rd step should be to go online and compare laptops which fulfill your requirements and also within budget and then buys it either online or offline. Quote
walkerbushgeorge Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I find acer makes decent and affordable machines. Toshiba is not bad either, But I have both and i'm more leaning towards the acer. Quote
christmas_ Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 How to buy a new laptop ? Firstly you have to ask yourself one question -- What is your usage ? If your usage is a light one, just need it to surf internet, for working purposes and presentations, and you are always on the move, then a netbook will be more appropriate. If you are a heavy user and wish to gaming on laptop, then you need to get a gaming laptop. It is all about your usage. Quote
Thayungsta Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 The only advantage i see in laptops is that its easy to carry around thats just it for me Quote
Malcolm Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 First you need to decide on the necessary functions, as well as the budget for this purchase. Quote
billshiphr Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 ve had my own laptop for a while and when I installed Windows 10 on it I've had a problem with sysmain high cpu usage. Do you know how to solve it? Sometimes CPU usage ups to 100 percent and I can't even do anything. My laptop stops for a while. The only solution that I found is rebooting it. But there must be something else. Can anyone help me with that? https://1nine.com/service-host-sysmain-causing-high-disk-or-high-cpu-usage/ Quote
