If the Internet turned the world into a global village, then we might as well say that laptops turned it into a global colony. With desktop computers, things were just a click away from us; laptop shortened the distance. Now we can carry the global colony on our shoulder. State-of-the-art technology in your lap, we may not need anything to conquer the world of convergence.
The great advantage of notebooks is that it gives us a feeling of portability and mobility. Looking critically, portability is the only feature a laptop has over desktop computers, so why do we choose a laptop? Laptops can allow you to carry your work comfortably and you don’t have to worry about all the cables, hardware and space required to maintain a desktop computer. It is also a matter of choice between work and home. You may want to work from home, when your baby or wife is sick. A notebook comes in handy then.
A notebook has a different role for different people, but it gives an incredible feeling of freedom. Gone are the days when people walked around with pencil and paper. All you need to do today to take notes is to buy a notebook. You might want to quickly write an email to a radio station that is making noise in the name of music. You may want to sit in your neighborhood coffee shop and write a book or letter. But if you want to take your laptop with you wherever you go, you also have to consider the weight of the machine. A notebook weighs between 5 and 10 pounds; an ultralight model is even lighter. Whereas a desktop computer, with its separate CPU, monitor, and keyboard, weighs around 70 pounds. A laptop also takes up much less space and is very convenient.
Some of the most famous laptops are Sony Vaio, Apple MacBook, Dell Latitude, Toshiba, HP. There are also many affordable versions of laptops marketed by companies like Fujitsu, Panasonic, IBM, Asus, etc.
Let’s look at a scenario where, in a school, students are sitting quietly at their desks and working on a class assignment with no teachers to guide them. It is real and it is happening in many schools around us. Now, we don’t have to cry looking at our little ones carrying kilos of luggage on their backs. Notebook has it all, from your books to homework copies.
When we look at the productive side of the picture, we’ll quickly realize that a laptop is also always a good choice for an employer. It makes your employees achieve higher productivity at work. Save critical office space. At any crucial moment, a notebook can help you get the job done, even when you’re not physically present in the office. When traffic is high and your boss is waiting for a presentation in a conference room, a notebook comes to the rescue. A desktop PC does not give all this freedom for a good worker.
A research says that employees with laptops work more than those companies with desktop computers. A notebook allows you to work from anywhere, whether on the go, from a beauty salon, or while waiting for someone at a mall. And the only downside to a laptop is its security, unless you double-insure it against theft. It’s easy to pick and elope for anyone in a busy commercial place. So, ensure the safety of your expensive device that makes you feel like the world is at your feet and enjoy the power of technology.
