laptop Computers

In my opinion, laptop computers are the best technological conveniences of our time. Although I thoroughly appreciate my cell phone and microwave and all the other gadgets that make my life easier, there is no substitute for laptop computers. I have owned several laptop computers in my life and have enjoyed watching them get smaller and lighter every year. When it comes to staying connected, playing and working on the go, laptop computers can't be beat.

Although notebook computers, like any other form of technology, become obsolete the moment they hit store shelves, I doubt that you will notice any inequity. Laptop computers have longer battery lives these days and some only weigh a few pounds. They are incredibly convenient for any person who uses a computer regularly. Whenever I had an important term paper due I knew that even if the power went out I would be fine.

I still use a PC at my house for surfing the web and other things. I use my notebook for the bulk of my word processing projects because I feel that they are safer there than on my PC. I, like many other people, have experienced complete computer meltdowns on a PC. It is usually due to a virus caught while surfing the web. I have learned to keep my notebook computers away from the Internet so that my files are better protected. I keep everything of importance on my lap top and use my PC for more dangerous endeavors.

I think that owning a notebook computer is a must. I have found that having two computers, one for Internet use and one for more important things, has been a great idea. Laptops are very valuable and should be protected. I transfer information from my lap top to my PC if I want to send it over the Internet. This way, my precious lap top never touches the web and is never threatened by hackers or viruses.

If you have been looking at laptops you already know that there is a wide array of them and they all come with different features. You will have to shop around to find the right computer for you but I have been able to get by successfully on laptop computers that are in the $500-$600 range. If you wait around until the Christmas holiday shopping season, I am confident you will find yourself a great deal.
