Is Notebook A Better Choice Than Desktop?
If internet made the world a global village, then we might as
well say that notebooks made it a global colony. With desktops,
things were a click away from us; notebook shorted the distance.
Now we can carry the global colony on our shoulder. High-end technology
at your lap, perhaps, we need nothing to conquer the world of convergence.
The great advantage of notebooks is that it gives us a sense of
portability and mobility. Looking critically, portability is the
only feature, a notebook has over desktops then why do we choose
to go for a notebook? Notebooks can let you carry your work conveniently
and you do not have to worry about all the wires, hardware and space
required to keep a desktop. Also it's a matter of choice between
work and home. You may want to work from home, when your baby or
wife is ill. A notebook comes in handy then.
A notebook has a different role to play for different people, but
it gives an incredible sense of freedom. Gone are the days when
people walked around with pen and paper. All you need to do today
to make notes it to buy a notebook. You may want to quickly write
a email to a radio station, which 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 carry your notebook everywhere
you go, you have to consider the weight of the machine too. A notebook
weighs between 5 to 10 pounds; an ultralight model is even lighter.
Whereas, a desktop computer, with its standalone CPU, monitor, and
keyboard, weighs in at about 70 pounds. A notebook takes much lesser
space too and is very convenient.
Some of the most famous notebooks are Sony Vaio, Apple MacBook,
Dell Latitude, Toshiba, HP. Also there are many affordable versions
of notebooks marketed by companies like Fujitsu, Panasonic, IBM,
Asus and etc.
Let's look at a scenario where at a school, students are quietly
seated at their desks and working on a class assignment with no
teachers to guide them. It's real, and is happening in many schools
around us. Now, we don't have to mourn looking at our tiny ones
carrying pounds of baggage in their backs. Notebook has it all,
from their books to assignment copies.
When we look at the productive side of the picture, we would promptly
realize that a notebook is always a wise choice for an employer
too. It makes his or her employees to achieve more productivity
at work. It saves critical office space. At any crucial moment,
a notebook can help you to do the work, even when you are not physically
present in the office. When the traffic is high, and your boss is
waiting for 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 notebooks work more than those
companies with desktop PCs. A notebook enables you to work from
anywhere, while traveling, from a beauty parlor, or while waiting
for someone at a shopping mall. And the only disadvantage a notebook
has is its safety, unless you doubly assure it from theft. It's
easy to pick and elope for anyone at a busy commercial place. So,
ensure the safety of your costly gadget that makes you feel the
world is at your feet and enjoy the power of technology.
