Tips on Choosing The Right Type of
Computer
Which is best a laptop
computer or a desktop pc?
The Pros of Purchasing
a Laptop Computer
Portability
Laptop computers are easier to transport from place
to place. They are easy to move from place to place
and are a great choice for college students.
They can be used anywhere wireless internet service
is available. College students can take a laptop or
notebook computer
to the park, a library, restaurant, coffee shop, a
friends dorm room, or anywhere else they want to
study. They can be used in class to take
notes or do research, which also makes them
very appealing to college students.
Space Obviously,
a laptop computer takes up far less space than a
desktop pc. This makes them a good choice for
college students who live in small dorm rooms or
apartments.
Cost
Laptop computers are becoming more affordable.
A laptop with a 15 inch LCD widescreen,
80 GB hard drive and DVD+/-RW drive can be purchased
new from Walmart for less than $500.00

Of
course they can be purchased for much less on ebay.

The Pros of Purchasing
a Desktop Computer
Portability Generally, desktop computers cost
less, they are easier and less expensive to repair and
usually have faster processors and more memory than
a notebook pc. A desktop pc is heavier and more
difficult to move around than a notebook pc which
lessens the odds of it getting stolen or lost.
Space Desktop computers take up more space
than a notebook pc but they are getting smaller.
Many slim line models are now available. Most
desktops now
come with a LCD Flat Screen monitor that takes
up significantly less space on your desk than the
older bulky CRT computer monitors. Wide Flat Screen Computer monitors
are now priced as low as $130.00

flat screen monitors at Walmart online. TigerDirect
also has some very good deals on flat screen
computer monitors.

Cost Like
notebook computers, desktops are becoming more
affordable and have more features than earlier
models.
You can get a new Desktop Computer that comes with a
17 inch flat screen monitor, 160 GB hard drive, DVD
Burner, 7-in-1 media reader for only $498.00
at Walmart.
