When choosing between a desktop and a laptop, it's helpful to know about the advantages of each. This episode will help you decide which one's best for you.
Desktop or Laptop?
So you're thinking about
a desktop or a laptop.
There are pros and cons to both, so the first
thing to figure out is what matters most
to you when you're using a computer.
Do you want to be able to add memory,
and upgrade later on, do you want a larger
hard-drive, a larger monitor,
or do you want the convenience of
taking your computer with you?
Desktops can be easily expanded with sound
and video cards, while laptops need
to contain everything in their case, making
them somewhat more difficult to upgrade.
But if you're always on the move, the
portability and weight of a laptop
can't be beat. You don't need to be near an
outlet, and accessories like docking stations
can provide more ways to expand
your laptop's capabilities.
If budget is a concern, a desktop will
traditionally be more affordable than
a comparably equipped laptop.
