Replace your desktop with a laptop, so reasonable?

Five reasons, and five reasons . should not use a laptop (laptop) to completely replace the desktop (desktop), according to the author. And you, what do you think?

Why is . 'should'?

1. The first advantage of a laptop is its mobility. You can work effectively anywhere without having to reinstall the familiar applications.

2. You will always stay connected with people anytime, anywhere without having to go to Net shops (full of risks such as password theft, information disclosure, etc.) to send e-mail and messages. believe in relatives or perform online trading operations. Instead, you can go to areas with WiFi to connect to your own laptop. That is not to mention the wireless connection to the laptop, which is rapidly developing with WiMAX, GPRS, EDGE standards .

3. Laptops take up less work space and also consume less power. Besides, it is much more 'smooth' than the desktop, even for the 'super-heavy' laptop, with high-end configuration for the needs of graphics or gaming.

4. When necessary, the laptop can quickly turn into a desktop by plugging a monitor into the VGA output port, adding a separate keyboard and mouse.

5. Good security! In addition to password protection, most middle and high-end laptops now have a fingerprint or face identifier and data encryption capabilities through TPM.

And why 'no'?

1. Because of the price, the laptop is still more expensive than the desktop anyway, although the difference in this price is gradually shortened quite a lot.

2. Lower life expectancy compared to desktops is also a minus point of portable products. Most laptops are designed with an average life span of about two years. If you have used a laptop for a long time, you will see cables, buttons and monitors often damaged after two years of use.

3. The upgrade capability of the laptop is limited! You can usually only upgrade RAM and hard disk. Some models can also replace CPUs but must open the case, which means losing the genuine warranty. The price of components to upgrade a laptop is also more expensive than the desktop.

4. When you need to fix the desktop, you can "scratch" or bring the broken parts to repair centers and borrow friends and relatives for temporary use. But with a laptop, it is not possible, because you have to send it to a place of sale or a genuine service center to check. The sending like that also increases the risk of data loss or sensitive data disclosure (such as some leaked sex pictures, sex clips in us and in Hong Kong - ie the Tran Gia scandal - Tran Quan Hy, you remember ?

5. Easily . stolen! Obviously, stealing a laptop is much simpler than the desktop because they are compact, not messy with wires, and are of great value and easy to consume, .

Currently, the laptop is being warned the most stolen digital device in the world! Recently, Silicon.com said: Every year, at airports in Europe and America, there are still . 800,000 laptops forgotten by passengers! Heathrow Airport in London (UK) leads, with about 900 cases per week, 'runners' are airports in Amsterdam (Netherlands), Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris (France). Strange thing is that 55% of people lost laptops but did not declare them, perhaps because they did not expect to find lost property?

If you just like using laptops?

At that time, you should pay attention to some of the following issues:

1. Currently, most new laptops come with Windows Vista operating system installed. If you still 'Windows', remember to choose a laptop brand that supports Windows XP.

2. Carefully preserve the system restore CD or DVD (Recovery Disk). Many of today's machines integrate this recovery on a hard disk partition, so be careful when formatting or resizing partitions on the hard disk, if you don't want to lose the copyrighted operating system.

3. Please back up data regularly. Different from the 'seated' desktop in the office, the laptop will follow you everywhere and just accidentally dropping the device can lead to a risk of a computer failure, causing data loss. Buying an extra external hard drive to back up, or using online backup services, should be done right away when you use only one laptop.

As a general trend, laptops will become more and more popular, meaning they will overwhelm the desktop, especially for users who frequently travel. So before you 'retire' your desktop, consult with people who have used laptops for a long time.

Wish you have the right choice to best meet your work and entertainment needs!
