Good Laptop for basic computer needs [Posted on 2005-04-03]
As a matter of fact, I'm using this laptop right now!! It works very good...no complaints here BUT-- this model is obsolete (I bought it off a friend) so getting parts and service is a hassle. A favor to any of you who have one...if u can't find battery packs or accessories for this laptop in Amazon...go to www.mundocorp.com <--they have everything for this laptop. It gets 4 stars due to the fact that it was a hassle for me to get a battery to begin with. Not even Gateway has it!!
Thankful for Laptops in general [Posted on 2005-11-19]
Technology is a big matter in today's society. Faster moving technology is a plus. Computers in general have changed the world. When desktop first came out, everyone wanted them. If people could afford them, there was nothing that could stop them from getting themselves one. As time goes by, computers are only getting more and more advance. Although there are some people who still prefer the original everything, including desktop computers, most people are converting to laptop computers.
Excluding that group, one of the main reasons people prefer laptops rather than desktops is because of the amount of space they save. Laptops are much more space conserving than desktop computers. Desktops consist of the keyboard, the monitor itself, the mouse, and other accessories. One the other hand, laptops could just take up space temporarily. Unlike desktops, they don't have to always be placed on desks. You could use it on your bed, on the floor, outside, or even on the kitchen table. When you are done, simply pack it up.
Another reason people may prefer laptops over desktops is because they are easier to travel with. In fact, most people who have laptops have personalized carrying pouches for them. College students often carry their laptops with them from class to class. It is just that convenient to do.
Laptops are definitely better than desktop computers, even the prices should tell you that. The average new laptop costs about $1000, while the average new desktop is about $700. One rule of "supply and demand" is: the higher the price the greater the demand for the product. This certainly fits this situation. Conversely, desktop computers are cheaper and also at less of a demand.
If you think about it, laptops fall in the pattern that is actually universal. We tend to like newer versions of products, along with smaller, faster, more convenient versions of products. You can take cell phones for instance, they use to be huge compared to older models. Now there are cellular phones such as the Razor with the depth of a tooth pick. There are also cellular phones that are no taller than the average index-finger. With products such as those, it is no question we settle with smaller versions of the laptop.
Laptops are better than desktops because we have slowly but surely been adjusting to their ways all along, without even realizing it. We are not attracted to slower, larger, harder to travel with products more than we are of the complete opposite. Think about it, it is nearly factual.
