Since the advent of laptops, more and more people are going for it
rather than desktop computers. Laptop is the sister concern of the
desktop computer. However, it is gaining more popularity owing to many
factors such as cost and mobility. Many factors push people to opt for
laptops over the desktop owing to many advantages it offers. Let’s take a
look at all the advantages which a laptop offers:
Pros
1. Mobility:
You can take the laptop anywhere and work at your convenience owing to
its light weight. Also, there’s no need of constant energy source. You
can charge once and use it for a couple of hours without having to worry
about electricity issues.
2. Energy saving: Laptops are energy
saving devices since they are really small and need a limited amount of
energy. Further, charging them till 100% takes hardly an hour and on
full charge, the laptop can go on without electricity for more than 2
hours.
3. Cost: Laptops are cost effective. A configuration for a
laptop will cost cheaper than a desktop computer with similar
configuration. Further, laptops start from as low as $120. You won’t be
able to get a desktop that cheap of course unless you purchase a second
hand model.
However, there are desktop loyalists who swear by the
desktop PC. Desktop computers were the first computers to be produced
and they offer their own advantage which laptop computers don’t.
Cons:
1.
Adjustments: You can adjust the height of your monitor, the distance of
keyboard; mouse etc at your convenience depending upon your use. Laptops
don’t offer these adjustments and once you sit, you have to adjust your
own position according to the laptop.
2. Resistant to
overheating: Desktop computers rarely get over heated. Only in certain
conditions when the spare parts and hardware parts are not installed
properly, will the overheating problem occur. Else, on a serious note,
you can run your computer without switching it off for months at a
stretch and you won’t have to worry about overheating.
3.
Upgradeable: Upgrading the components of a desktop is far easier than
that of a laptop. If you need an additional RAM, it takes hardly some
minutes to open up your cabinet and place extra RAM. With laptops, you
have to be really careful while even opening it.
4. Durability:
Desktop computers usually have a much longer life owing to extra
durability. Once purchased, you can actually use a desktop for years
where as a laptop needs to be replaced at least once every 5 years.
Both
desktop and laptop offer advantages and disadvantages. The fact remains
that it is up to the user to make a decision based on the intended
purpose of buy.
