Are Laptops getting more fame than PC's
When you choose to buy a computer the most difficult question that comes to your mind is, “Should I buy a Laptop or a Desktop?” Laptops are the latest trend in the market and are being preferred by more people. A laptop computer or simply a laptop is a small computer that you can carry around. It has inbuilt batteries which give the required power supply so that you need not connect the computer to any power supply source. It is as small as a notebook and you can carry it in a bag as u travel. Laptops are usually of more cost than a desktop.
A laptop provides all the features that a desktop can give. It is small in size and mobile and you can carry it to and from work, on planes or practically anywhere. But it also has its disadvantage that it is so small and handy that anyone can carry it away. And when the computer is stolen you loose all the data that you had stored in it.
Laptop parts are miniaturized and hence they must be handled very carefully. Any problem that arises with the parts, you should contact the manufacturing company and they will provide you the service. Most of the time this is covered as a part of the warranty provided to the computer. In case of a desktop, you need not have to go for the company for the service, but you can get the required part from any local shops yourself.
Some of the major brands of laptop manufacturers are IBM, HP, Dell, Toshiba and Sony. Price of a laptop has seen a remarkable fall over a few years. A laptop that cost $1600 in 2001 is now available for less than $1000 with better configuration. Prices range from as low as $800 to $2500 depending upon the brand and the configuration. Over the last 10 years, the market shares of laptops have increased form 10% to 50% and are expected to outnumber desktops by the end of the decade.
Laptops are mainly preferred by people who are more on travel. They would prefer to work as they travel. They would prefer to have all the data with them as they travel around and they can work on it. Those who sit and work at once place can go for a desktop instead of a laptop as in their case either of them makes no difference.
