The advantages of Laptops are that they give us a sense of portability and mobility. If portability is the only feature a Laptop has over desktops, then why do we choose them? Laptops 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. Sometimes you may want to work from home; a Laptop comes in handy then.

A Laptop has a different role to play for different people, but it gives a wonderful sense of freedom. Gone are the days when people always needed a pen and paper. All you need to do today to take notes it to buy a notebook. You may want to quickly write an email to your friend across the country, or sit in your neighborhood coffee shop and surf.

Some of the most famous Laptops are Sony Vaio, Apple MacBook, Dell Latitude, Toshiba, and HP. Also, there are many affordable versions of Laptops marketed by companies like Fujitsu, Panasonic, IBM, Acer, etc.

If you want to carry your Laptop everywhere you go, you have to consider the weight of the machine too. A Laptop weighs between 5 to 10 pounds; an ultra light model is even lighter. A desktop computer, with its standalone CPU, monitor, and keyboard, weighs in at about 70 pounds. A Laptop takes up much less space also, and is very convenient.

Let's look at a scenario where at a school, students are quietly seated at their desks and working on a class assignment. One day, the Laptop may replace the books that the students used to carry around. The Laptop has it all, from their books to assignment copies.

When we look at another example, we realize that a Laptop is always a wise choice for an employer too. It allows his or her employees to achieve more productivity at work. It also saves critical office space. At any crucial moment, a Laptop can help you to do the work, even when you are not physically present in the office. When you are stuck in traffic and your boss is waiting for a presentation in the conference room, a Laptop comes to the rescue. A desktop PC does not give all this freedom for employees.

Research shows that employees with Laptops work more efficiently than those companies that use desktop PCs. A Laptop enables you to work from anywhere, while traveling, from a beauty parlor, or while waiting for someone at a shopping mall. The only disadvantage a Laptop has is it is easily stolen. So, ensure the safety of your new Laptop that makes you feel the world is at your feet and enjoy the power of technology.
