Laptops / Notebooks so useful

What makes Laptops / Notebooks so useful?

A modern laptop can function as :

• An All In One Computer
• A Small Business Computer

Laptops or notebooks are increasing in popularity day by day. Now your office workers need not waste valuable time in their cubicles viewing or updating data when they could be out on the field engaging in marketing or other business activities. These workers can view and create business reports, update inventory, take orders right from their customer locations using their laptops or notebooks.

Laptops enable you to be connected all the time from any location via the internet. This is ideal for business travellers. You can use a laptop without electrical power for several hours due to the powerful batteries that laptops and notebooks come equipped with. Also most laptops today come equipped with wireless capabilities. So you can connect to many external devices such as modems, printers, etc... without creating a mess of wires. Laptops and notebooks come in different sizes and if size and weight are a great concern for you then you can opt for an ultra small and very light weight laptop.

The great appeal for laptops today lies in their portability, lower costs and superior processing power compared to earlier versions of laptops. Now even small sized business can afford to equip all their employees with laptops without incurring a heavy cost.

The new low cost laptops are strong and can be fitted in back packs by holiday makers who may want to blog about their adventures while relaxing on the beach. The very cheap laptops, like the ASUS EEE PC, make basic laptop computing including multimedia (listening to music, downloading and watching movies, chatting), working with office tools (such as word processors and spreadsheets) accessible to school and college kids. The new flash drives used in these laptops and notebooks ensure that their will be no data loss even when used in rough environments by school students!

In other words, today a huge range of laptops and notebooks are available to suit all kinds of people (businesses big and small, holiday makers, students, home users requiring basic use to powerful gaming laptops, etc...) and budgets.

When you buy a laptop remember that the computing or processing power of the laptop mainly depends on :

• the processor (for example the intel dual core processors are the faster than the earlier intel pentium processors)
• The more RAM (memory) your laptop has the better will be its performance
• A larger hard disk capacity will allow you to store much more information. (If you plan to store music, videos and other multimedia try and get as much storage capacity as possible)

Their is no end to the list of useful accessories that you can add to a laptop. Most external devices are attached via USB ports. So ensure that your laptop has adequate USB connectivity. Most laptops today are WI-FI enabled. This enables you to operate in wireless mode.
