3 Compelling Reasons to Purchase a Netbook Over a Traditional Computer

Some of us are so applied to working on a computer desktop that when it comes time to purchase a new computer, we don't look at other choices. Today, computer notebooks - which were once called laptops - offer a couple of advantages over a computer desktop. Here are just five reasons why you should take a second consider notebooks.

Mobility

You might be used to pulling up a chair to your computer, but it makes much more sense to pull your computer up to your chair. Laptops under 500 dollars may surely be applied at your desk, but you similarly have the choice of bringing them to the spot where you're most comfortable. Perhaps you'd like to surf the Web in the evening out in the living room or catch up on your favored blogs before bedtime. Notebooks with wireless connectivity can travel with you all around your home, so you can check your email or do your Internet buying goods anywhere.

Naturally, notebooks likewise make sense for those who are on the go. Students may take laptops to class and to the library, while businesspeople can take them along while traveling. With WiFi so widely available, it even makes sense to have a notebook while on vacation. With the correct notebook, it's easy to take photos with your digital camera, upload them, and email them to friends and family before you even get back home. Or you may use it to write leisure time away from work blog and include those pictures from your digital camera.

Lighter Weight

Just more than one years ago, even the lightest notebook was a pain to lug around. Today, altho, laptops are increasingly easy on the back. The MacBook is slightly over an inch thick and the Toshiba Portege weighs in at when it comes to four pounds. While that's still heavy compared to come of the new ultralight convertibles (Fujitsu's LifeBook U810 weighs only a pound and half), it's a considerable improvement over the old seven-pound laptops.

Better Computing and Battery Power

Throughout history, two drawbacks of notebooks were their fixed RAM, fixed space on the hard drive, and short battery life. Times have changed, although, and laptops now have as much power under the hood as their computer desktop cousins. The MacBook, for example, has 1GB of memory (configurable up to 4 GB) and a hard drive that's configurable to 250GB. Historically your software will hum right along and you'll be able to zip through programs as speedily and as easily as you do on your desktop. Throughout history, batteries in today's notebooks don't heat up and don't conk out.

There are some advantages to owning notebooks that, before you buy your next computer, it's worth your while to take one for a spun.
