Thu, 10 Jun 2010 23:09:07 +0000 http://www.pcmech.com/article/10-reasons-why-you-should-own-a-laptop/#comment-45290 I recently bought my first computer which is a laptop and a portable one,a notebook. But mine has a webcamb built in along with microphone and speakers. so i am able to do the same things i can with a full sosed computer. Nowdays most people who have broardband at home have laptops not computers as laptops that have been made in the last 2 years now have all the functions of a computer if not more. And most people including me do not have the space or room in their homes for a computer,also computer is more expensive than laptop. And computer is no good if you want to use wirless broard band as you cannot take it around the house,where as laptop is portable and can be taken and used anywhere if you have an internet connection.Outside the home you can use mobile broardband,which can be used when you are on holiday abroard ,so you don't miss out on the internet while away from home.Indeded some home broardband providers offer free wi fi as part of their packages now. In fact a laptop IS a computer a more modern one at that and laptops have a lot of storage space too. Some have disk drives but some like my notebook does not. but you can install a disk drive to play CDs for eg by pluging a usb extension cable to your laptop and the other end to disk drive to play CDs and back up files on CDs. And you can plug a mouse into the side of laptop as I do so you don't have to navigate the keyboard or click with your fingers which is difficult. and lets not forget that now most laptops are installed with Windows 7 not vista which is faster and reliable and most have webcambs too. so you can chat on messengers,make videos etc as you can on full sized computer.So nowdays laptops have taken over from the old fashoned and outdated and bulky computer. So if you are thinking of getting internet at home then laptop is the way to go and they are cheaper. andrea. I recently bought my first computer which is a laptop and a portable one,a notebook.

I think mostly robots do the job. I still prefer desktops over laptops because they tend to preform better, are cheaper to build, and you have space to add more computer components in the future such as a few extra hard drives if your extravagant enough(actually it's just a really impractical, but possible example). I still think it's possble to buld a laptop yourself. It would jsut be really difficult because of all the small parts. Building a desktop is way simple, so I'm with desktops.

Obviously millions of people do it a day because laptops are beginng to outsell desktop computers and if they can do it, you can do it. You just need to be able-bodied, able to read, not retarded, and know what your doing. I know some stuff about pc buildng, and although I've never actually built a pc, I've read a lot about it and it's actually pretty simple as long as you know what you want for your computer. The assembling is really simple(desktop computers at least). The only thing that still bohters me are the expensses because I have no idea what they're going to be because I've never actually been really serious about building a pc.
