What are some advantages and disadvantages between desktops and notebooks?In: Computer Buying |
Answer
I will let you choose using the following guidelines i have written.
Desktops:
require being plugged in all the time
are more sensative to movement
are big and bulky
easier to maintain (hardware)
hard to move about
heavy
sometimes loud
can have large powerful processors and graphics cards.
upto four sticks of memory (RAM)
Masses of harddrive space possible (I have 2 Terabytes)
more secure (less likely to be stolen)
better for playing games, working on media files, DVD Ripping/encoding.
Notebooks:
small and easy to carry
can run on internal battery
does not need maintaining internaly as much as desktops
are very limited to what hardware can be installed inside
are not so sensative to shocks
cannot as powerful as desktops
can have built in Wifi
limited harddrive space (unless a USB HDD caddy is used which can sometimes require a plug socket)
less secure (more likely to be stolen unless locked to a desk or somthing)
Better for working, some small games and media playing.
these should be enough to help you.
