Computer Preference, You Decide

If there is one thing that consumers in today's market have a lot of, that is choices. Most of the products that you need are likely to come in a wide variety of brands and kinds. Those looking for computers are not likely to be spared from this difficult decision making process. With all the different choice that we have today, what many of us want to know is whether we should be buying a Desktop, Laptop or Netbook. Here are some things to help you figure out which one is for you exactly.

Desktop

If you are looking something that is fairly affordable and will serve you well, then a desktop is your best bet. Of course, this is given the fact that you do not have a need to take it along with you. For those with families and large businesses this is an ideal buy since you can just put it in your home or company and leave it there. It is also a good choice for people who actually have an office that they can use regularly since it is the most ergonomic of all choices. The Keyboard allows enough room for your arms and hands while typing, plus height isn't really a problem since you use it with a desk and chair. In terms of performance we all know that it can contain all the data and programs that you need because it can easily be expanded with very few limits.

Laptop

For people who are constantly on the go and need to stay connected or those with a limited amount of space a laptop may do the job. Of course we all know that these cost a lot more than desktops but at least many of today's laptops can compete with what desktops offer; although these still cannot top desktops. Many of the laptops today come with webcams, DVD/CD writer and great displays. The battery also gives you the freedom to use this for a few hours without being plugged in. One consideration though with laptops is the difficulty with upgrading and finding replacement parts in case it breaks down. Parts can often be expensive and hard to replace.

Netbook

Others do not understand why they should go for a Netbook instead of a laptop. Well, if you have looked at the price tags then you will know that the latter is definitely more expensive. For those who practically live on airplanes and need to have access to a computer, this is a good solution. It is ultra portable given its size and it performs fairly well. Of course it does not come with frills like a DVD/CD writer and others, but it will get your work done. Plus, a good thing is that you can easily upgrade or expand this without much trouble. One thing that Netbook buyers will have to consider eventually is how long a computer this small will last.
