Choosing the Right Laptop Computer
The name laptop computer is somewhat misleading as they do not actually come in a clamshell configuration. A laptop computer, or laptop for short, is typically a small, lightweight portable computer with a “clad” (or clamshell) type configuration, usually having an alphanumeric keypad on the inner shell of the lower lid and an LCD or LED screen on the inner of the top lid. The alphanumeric keypad is used to access the laptop computer and the LCD or LED screen is used to view applications and data. Because of its open type configuration, laptops can be carried around without requiring a bag or carrying case. Some manufacturers of laptop computers also provide a miniature version of themselves with an external keyboard and mouse, called a netbook.
Laptop computers are increasingly used by individuals who like to surf the Internet, store large amounts of data and also use their laptop computer for doing work that is more complex than can be done on a desktop computer. Some individuals who use their laptop computer for Internet work carry their notebook with them when they travel to do business presentations. Netbooks have the advantage of being able to be used on a variety of systems including Mac, PCs and even Linux operating systems. In addition, netbooks are capable of being upgraded to support additional storage and memory. This is beneficial to business men who need to take additional memory and/or storage with them when they travel.
Laptops provide many benefits to individuals who require mobile computing and the ability to easily access stored information. However, choosing the right laptop computer can be a daunting task. With thousands of laptop computers on the market today, it is essential to choose the laptop computer that best suits your computing needs and your budget. Before making any purchases, it is important to consider the amount of memory and hard drive space provided in the laptop and ensure that the laptop meets the needs of your profession. If you find the right laptop that meets all your requirements and fits within your budget, you will be able to conduct more business and research more easily on your laptop computer.
