Desktop vs. Laptops
I will be comparing Desktop vs Laptops. Determining which one is best to have for the right price, size, quality, and looks. There is a big market now for laptop and not so much for desktops do to the fast growing technology we are using now. You will find the pros and cons of both desktop and laptops and can make a decision as to which will be right for your needs. First I will be comparing the desktops.

Desktops have a big disadvantage when it come to mobility. There are stuck in one place and can not be moved very easily. They have a lot more wires that have to be. Everything comes separate for example: monitor, keyboard, and mouse. You need a bigger space to use a desktop.
Desktops usually do not come with Wi Fi so it means you always need a modem around to be connected to the internet. Desktop are bigger so the do not travel well when needed to get fixed or it cost more for someone to come to your house to fix them. Now with the way people depend on things, there are not many desktops around. Meaning there are more choices for laptops then there are for desktops

Laptops have few disadvantages to them. The do not come with a mouse and would have to buy one separate. Laptops are more delicate and can brake easily if dropped. It is harder to type on them because keyboards are usually smaller. You always have to have a power cord with you if bringing it somewhere because the power runs out on them faster. If you are not in a place that has a plug then your laptop will not work if not powered up. Laptops can be stolen more easier then desktops because the are more portable and smaller
Desktop/Laptops 3

The advantages of a desktop can be that they are better for businesses and are more durable then a laptop. You can buy more accessories for the desktop like, bigger monitors, different keyboards, and different mouses. Desktops are priced lower then laptops that have the same components or similar components. Desktops are easier to use compared

One thing that some users don't like is that Windows OS is easy to crash unlike the Mac is protected with tight encryption that your basic user can’t get past, to make any changes to the main OS to change it. “Macs hardware is well built and appealing but is expensive.

    The essay “Laptops in the Classroom? No Problem” by Elena Choy, states that banning laptops in the classroom in not the answer. I agree with Choy because with laptops in a classroom, students can access the internet and this is a great tool for research and also a means of communication by using tools like chats, e-mails and forums. With the arrival of the internet we were confronted with new possibilities, challenges and uncertainties in the process of learning and teaching. How can students and teachers adapt to a learning process involving a technology that is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and more challenging? For me, teaching, in a broad context, is to select and organize information in order to transform it into knowledge. Laptops can facilitate individual and group research as well as the exchange of ideas between teachers, their colleagues and their students. Using laptops to access the internet provides students with an exchange of experiences, questions, materials, personal exchanges, both of whom are geographically near and far. Laptops can help teachers to better prepare their class by expanding the ways to teach, to modify the evaluation process and communication with students and colleagues.…

    If we got laptops for PCS, most students would concentrate more. They would concentrate more because they would have information right under their noses. Also we as a school wouldn't kill as much trees if we had laptops. Students would be more focused and class would go through smoothly because you wouldn't have to pass out papers. You could have it sent to your files or you could look it up on the internet. It would take less time out of class. If the teacher asked them to look up something for class, you could just search it and there it is. I do think though that if we got…

    In this situation a laptop can be used for two things – education and for fun. Ultimately a laptop that is free provided by the government is one that is wanted by everyone. Laptops are convenient and are portable which can be taken everywhere. There is wireless internet available so you can use the internet and you can use it for whatever purpose – entertainment, assignments, homework etc. But in the education perspective, these laptops are not effective in a student’s education, purely and simply because of the mishandling of the purpose of the laptops for students. Students can get overboard with these laptops and not focus fully on class participation; exams are not typed and won’t be able to learn necessary grammar work. As well as the personal aspects such as the laptops could get stolen is not kept safely.…
