What Computer Do You Prefer?
Which do you prefer - laptops or desktop computers? A laptop is
a portable computer small enough to use in your lap. A desktop
computer is a personal computer small enough to fit in a
workspace. Both have their positive and negative qualities.
For example, because they don't require bulky cables or multiple
plugs and outlets, laptops are extremely convenient if you have
to travel or constantly move from one place to another. And
since they're so small, they don't take up as much space as a
desktop computer - a desktop computer can take up the entire top
of a small desk! If you have a laptop and choose to resell it,
you'll get more money for it than if you resold your desktop
computer. Desktop computers lose resale value while laptops
increase their resale value.
Unfortunately, the easy portability of laptops makes theft a lot
easier than with a heavy and bulky desktop computer. In
addition, laptops are harder to repair. A laptop can be repaired
only by its manufacturer - regardless of its warranty.
Desktop computers, on the other hand, are much faster,
inexpensive, and operable than laptops. Multimedia is much more
enjoyable on desktop computers than on laptops, and desktop
computers can be easily upgraded. Plus they're easier to repair
than laptops - either by their manufacturer, the store from
which they were purchased, a friend, or yourself!
But in situations where you need to use your desktop computer
away from your workspace, you can't!
Some people find solace in owning and using both laptops and
desktop computers. In this case, laptops play the roles of large
floppy disks - used to receive transferred files, modify files
away from the main computer, and then transfer those files back
to the desktop. This is an excellent solution for those who need
to show a multimedia presentation miles away from home.
