5 Reasons To Purchase Desktop Computers

Filed under Notebook Computer Buying Guide
If you are in the market for a computer, there are a number of factors to consider. Will it be used for your home, your office or perhaps even your home office combo? First off, you will need to set a budget for your new purchase before deciding whether to shop for notebook or desktop computers. Many offices use desktop computers because they are not intended to be moved around a lot. In addition, affordability often plays a large role in someone’s decision as to whether to purchase notebook or desktop computers.
While you are shopping around, it’s important to keep in mind some of the benefits that go along with owning different types of computers. To that end, this article provides five important reasons to purchase desktop computers.
Desktop computers are typically much more affordable than notebook computers. With notebooks, you are paying more for the convenience of portability. For as little as $299.00, desktop computers can be purchased from one of the leading manufacturers and a notebook computer for as little as $499.00.
Unlike notebook computers, replacing a keyboard, mouse, speakers or even a monitor does not require having your computer serviced by a professional repair shop. Because notebook computers have everything built in, including the aforementioned features, it is more difficult to replace a keyboard or monitor as opposed to desktop computers, which operate on external connections.
In the event of an unlawful entry into your home, desktop computers are not as likely to be stolen because of their weight and bulk. Notebook computers, on the other hand, are small and portable. This, alone, makes them more appealing to a thief than desktop computers.
Desktop computers are stationary by nature. Unlike a notebook computer, which can easily be moved from room to room, they are less likely to be dropped or broken because they are not moved as often.
The vents on desktop computers are located on the back of the tower, which allows for proper ventilation that will help to prevent the computer from overheating. Notebook computers, on the other hand, feature only one vent on the back with the remaining underneath the base. If placed on a table, the air vents can become blocked and the computer may overheat. If prolonged use leads to overheating, damage may result.
When choosing from the many desktop computers on the market, always make sure that you purchase from a manufacturer who has experience in creating computers. Even though they are more affordable than notebooks, desktop computers are not cheap. With an investment that involves several hundred dollars, you will want to consider the length of time the manufacturer has been in business, their reputation with customers and their warranty.
Additionally, when choosing any system, including desktop computers, always look at the potential for future upgrading. As you grow, you will want your computer to grow with you and a part of that will include a slight upgrade from time to time. This is the only way to get the best use of your desktop computers and make sure that your investment is one that lasts for years to come.

I am a notebook computer user, and i practically love large screens because it gives me a cinema view of my work, and everything i do.
I am into photography, and i can’t use a small screen display laptop notebook, so i went for a 17.1 inch laptop notebook. Actually why i went for Gateway MX8711 laptop, i do not now, and there are obviously so many other wonderful notebook computer around too. Although the Gateway MX8711 laptop have been meeting my need, and i haven’t found a need for a replacement.
I think some of the things that make me go for the Gateway MX8711 laptop is first, i got a discount service advertised, and it sounded good to me, so why should’nt i go for it.
Secondly, i picked the Gateway MX8711 laptop because it is a quality laptop having quite a lot of multimedia features that can back up my job, and give me a real time using my laptop notebook. Some of its features include: its Intel Pentium Dual Core (1.6 GHz) processor, which gives me a full speed when it comes to editing, and processing photos. I also enjoy its 1 GB DDR II SDRAM, in that it gives me a good back up coupled with the processor. It also has a good hard disk drive space full enough to take all the pictures i will have in many years to come, without even deleting any of them. Now coupled with A 17.1 inch screen, it is just ok for my work and that just tells me, you’ve got your notebook computer. The screen has a high resolution, which was just perfect for its intended work when i bought it.
I am also a laptop notebook user who loves Microsoft Windows Vista, but if i get a Microsoft Windows Vista Home Edition, i will still be comfortable. It gives me, and my system some added value. However, when i first bought it, i noticed that there could be faults developing as a result of handling, so i simply decided to keep it in a fixed location. I don’t take it with me, whenever i have a field event. I have another laptop which i use for that purpose.
I realized this when i checked-up some informations website on Gateway laptops, which reported quite a number of case as a result of handling, so my decision was made in order to avoid it. I pray that my avoiding this problem lasts for a long time.

Notebook And Wifi Standards
March 31, 2010 by admin
Filed under Notebook Computer Reviews
Every modern notebook is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing internet access from any part of the globe. But while using your wireless notebook, you should be aware of Wi-Fi standards, hotspots, and how to effectively use this technology to make the optimum use of your notebook.
The 802.11g Wi-Fi standard is the latest standard, which your notebook follows when you are online. The Wi-Fi alphabet spaghetti consists of protocols like 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, and 802.20. However, for most notebook users 802.11 would be sufficient with added `a`, `b`, or `g`.
There are protocols like `e`, `h`, `i`, and `n` that are waiting in the wings to make their entry. Nevertheless, as of now, 802.11g is the only protocol that one needs to think when it comes to wireless connectivity. The latest Wi-Fi standard is the 802.11g and offers connection speeds up to 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz radio bands, which is five times more than the previous standard 802.11b. It is more stable, more secure, and backward compatible.
Almost all notebooks that are manufactured today are 802.11g Wi-Fi standard ready. This standard is also designed to replace the older Wired Equivalent Privacy or WEP by specifying the Wi-Fi Protected Access or WPA. The WPA will function as an interim solution, until the next standard, the 802.11i network security standard is implemented with a new algorithm called Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, which shall be much more secure and reliable.
However, until the new standard is implemented, the 802.11g is to be followed. There are only two disadvantages with this notebook Wi-Fi standard, that firstly, since it is a new standard, it may not perform as promised; and secondly, with fast emerging latest technologies, it may become obsolete by newer standards before you have the time to benefit from it.
Few tips for a secure Wi-Fi experience:
1 - You should raise the level of your laptop settings. Raise the security settings of software applications like Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer. Update them frequently to ensure latest protection from hackers and viruses. You should keep the encryption feature always on to ensure safest browsing with Wi-Fi.
2 - Along with the software, you should also consider updating to better hardware. Hackers have always found 802.11a and 802.11b very easy to hack. However, 802.11g is harder to crack and you should consider upgrading your hardware to a `g` card. An 802.11g is backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b, thus 802.11g can leverage the widespread, international adoption of IEEE 802.11b in products from laptops to PDAs. A personal firewall, such as ZoneAlarm or BlackICE can significantly add up to the security level of your notebook.
3 - Whenever you are using your notebook at a Wi-Fi hotspot, make it a point not to send data. While you are surfing, do not type your credit-card number, expiration date, passwords, bank account numbers, etc. Sensitive data are the goldmines for hackers, and they will swipe your bank account before you can finish saying, ` I have been a victim of online identity theft!`
4 - Consider not staying online while working. If the risks outweigh the benefits, then it would be better to stay offline; at least until the new 802.11i standard is not implemented. Even then, the security can be breached, albeit with difficulty. If you do not need Wi-Fi to implement your work, then stay switched off. If you need the Wi-Fi just to send and receive files, then stay connected for only that period. Rest of the time, stay offline.
Precautions to take at a public Wi-Fi hotspot:
Whenever you are in public domain, you need to take precautions, as it is free for all. The Wi-Fi hotspots are available to any and every person, and anybody can be connected. Besides online thefts, there is also the risk of offline thefts.
While in a public hotspot, do not be so absorbed with your notebook, that you fail to notice the people around you. There are persons who are in the business of stealing notebooks, from public hotspots. And they do not operate as individuals but as a gang.
Also, while you are online at a public hotspot, follow simple rules like encrypting files before transferring or emailing them; making sure you are connected to a legitimate access point; and file sharing is turned off. Basic precautions like password protecting your notebook, updating your system regularly, and using anti-virus software should be strictly followed. For further online security, consider using a personal firewall, a virtual private network (VPN), and web-based email with secure http (https).
Having a good Wi-Fi experience directly translates into a satisfying Internet experience. With the above suggestions being implemented, you are guaranteed to have a pleasant online time with your notebook.
How to Choose a Laptop – What’s Available?
March 31, 2010 by admin
Filed under Notebook Computer Accessories
The total variety of laptops has grown, it seems, exponentially in the past few years. And in looking at the latest crop for this year, the trend is continuing. They come in a wide range of sizes, shapes and overall packages including some of the smallest, largest and thinnest models available.
The range of designs is not without purpose. Some have reduced size in order to lower cost or to improve portability. Some of the thinnest available are less than an inch thick and only weigh 3 to 5 pounds.
You may have lately seen advertisements for “netbooks.” This is a new class of laptop that have very small (7 to 9 inch) screens and weigh only 2 to 3 pounds. The attraction is they only cost about $300.
As costs reduce on laptops, they really are a better choice over desktop computers. What you might lose in ability to upgrade and expandability, you gain in versatility and portability. With the right home accessories for your laptop you can fix the typical ergonomic issues of only using a laptop. And with the ever increasing public wireless access, a laptop is becoming even more advantageous over a desktop computer.
The Basic Choices (Categorized by screen size):
15.4 inch Models:
This is the direction you should go if you are leaning toward portability, lower cost and good performance as your key laptop attributes. Performance and cost are most closely related, so just know that the lower the cost the slower the processor. For most applications this is not an issue. However, if price outweighs performance then this is a great choice.
17 inch Models:
When power and performance are what you are looking for then point yourself toward these larger laptops. Obviously there are some things you have to sacrifice. For example portability is compromised slightly in that these models do not always fit in the smaller sized laptop bags. They also can weigh up to 6 pounds so if you tend to have long walks in airports this may be a consideration.
But what you gain is higher performance, obviously a larger screen and in most cases better graphic capability.
14.1 inch Models:
These guys fit right in the middle with slightly less weight at 5 to 6 pounds and slightly lower price then the larger 17 inch models.
13.3 inch Models:
These models are the best bet for light weight portability. Due to the smaller footprint these models have a higher price. They only weigh around 3 to 5 pounds. A word of caution on these smaller size models, make sure you check what is included within the frame of the laptop. Although these models seem more portable, many of them require external storage or external DVD players.
Netbooks:
These have been referred to as “sub-notebooks” but are now generally called netbooks. They are very small with screens in the range of 7 to 10 inches and are targeted toward users that focus on email and Web browsing.
Key Features to Compare When Laptop Shopping:
Processors:
This can appear confusing. To simplify; For most users for home and school look for a laptop that has a “Pentium” Dual Core or AMD Turion X2. For the user that is looking for more performance (and higher cost…) then steer toward Core 2 Duo. There is a new version called Centrino 2 for laptops. A good choice for the “power” user.
Hard Drive and Memory (RAM) Capacity:
The range of capacities for hard disk drives continues to increase dramatically. Laptops are typically offered with hard drives from 120 to 500 GB and from 1GB to 2 GB of RAM. Even if you have to pay a bit more, you should go with the 2GB of RAM as the new operating systems (Vista) require more memory and this can really enhance the laptop performance.
Operating Systems – Windows vs. Mac:
Windows has continued to be the most dominant operating system for laptops. However, if you talk to a Mac user they are usually die hard customers. Both are excellent and have their pluses and minuses. While Windows still has many more applications available, Macintosh users can still claim that they are less susceptible to viruses and spyware.
So go through this list and check off which attributes are most important and then you will be more then ready to make your laptop purchase. As with most electronic equipment, accessories can be very important to improve the efficiency and overall enjoyment of your laptop. Make sure you investigate the right accessories and add them to your list.
Notebooks - The Course of Evolution of an All-Time Essential
March 30, 2010 by admin
Filed under Notebook Computer Buying Guide
To keep up our dignity, it is often wise to carry with us office tools like a pen or a notebook. The realization of it as an essential has given rise to highly technological forms depending upon its usage. Began with blank papers put together by binding material, notebooks took different directions according to varied specifications.
For instance, toddlers are given notebooks closely ruled to facilitate tidy writing, while artists prefer plain and wider devices for sketching. Moreover, they also take various forms in accordance with professions. To illustrate, press reporters or journalists carry handy and petite notebooks that alleviates jotting whereas researches have devices to log the details and handling of instruments which are preferably long and tabulated.
Evolution of the concept of notebooks:
Keeping pace with the ever increasing demand for comfort and the relative precision technologies has given birth to the novel concept of notebook. With the advent of the computer era, notebooks turned out to be a component of the computer itself that gave way to its effective utilization at enormous work places. Countless features were then added based on the utilities that help carry out many tasks effortlessly today.
They incorporated in the computers being immobile turned out to be the source of further evolution. The need of a portable device involving all or most of the technologies led to today`s exceptional innovations. Laptops without much note-taking features were begun to be called as `notebooks`. And the light-weighted laptops with different qualities, excellent enough to be called a notebook were on a rise in the market, still sustaining their title. They were marketed by brands like Lenovo, Sony hp, Dell, etc.
These then took its vital deviations such as Personal digital assistants (PDA), Tablet PCs, mini-notebooks, digital papers and so on, in relation to their attributes.
Concise abstract on present-day notebooks:
Telephones today are not meant merely to converse with someone far away from you, but capturing videos and photographs, activities like watching movies or enjoying on music are possible as well. Similarly, notebooks on the present day scenario can be just more than a tool to scribble on. The term notebook thus barely reminds of a stack of blank papers whereas it is plainly a portable, smaller and thinner laptop weighing not more than four pounds.
Personal digital assistants:
These are little enough to be called a palm-top, developed with liquid crystal displays allowing touch-sensitivity screens. This feature allows the input via touching the screen that displays a virtual keyboard. This has been highly effective in educational institutes for qualitative interactive sessions where the students can have their notes taken on these instruments having their spell-check and grammar correction done then and there.
Tablet PCs:
These hit the market in 1989 for the first time. Tablet PCs are slate-like notebook computers without keyboard or mouse and inputs are through a digital pen or fingertip, although a movable or removable keyboard may be attached. They are designed to operate at multi-places on the screen at a time and are also insensitive to bright light or sunlight.
Mini-notebooks:
Mini-notebooks feature high resolution larger wide screens and are soon going to be indispensable.
Digital Papers:
With all the advantages of these devices, the best aspect underlying them is that the people with illegible handwriting will no more be embarrassed! However, it is sometimes obligatory to have hand-written signatures or documents. Notebook called Digital papers is the answer to this limitation which possesses a digital pen and a patterned paper to produce hand-written documents in a computer.
