ADVANTAGES OF LAPTOPBy far, the biggest advantage that laptops have over desktops is their portability. The small size and light weight of a laptop, combined with the complete integration of the components, enables people to take laptops just about anywhere. Whether you are headed to another country for a business trip, want to take your work with you on your subway commute or simply want to surf the web from the comfort of your couch, a laptop fits the bill.

Portability

ADVANTAGES OF LAPTOP

Laptops use much less space than a desktop, which typically has a somewhat unwieldy tower that is separate from the monitor, although desktops are becoming more and more streamlined as smaller components are introduced. Since a laptop has battery power, it can be used without a cord, whereas a desktop may not. People who live in small spaces frequently prefer laptops for this reason, as do individuals who like their living area to have a minimalist appearance.

DISADVANTAGES OF LAPTOPOnce you've purchased a laptop, you'd better hope that nothing goes wrong with it. Unlike most desktops, which can be repaired by a local computer technician or even an experienced owner, laptops must often be shipped to the manufacturer for repairs, or the warranty may be invalidated. The result is that many laptop repairs are much more expensive than a similar repair on a desktop.

Unless you use the large amounts of memory and processing speed required for such pursuits as gaming and video editing, chances are the specifications that a laptop offers will be sufficient for your needs.
