How to Choose Your Desktop, Laptop or Tablet PC
You’re in the market for a new computer, but how do you know whether to choose a desktop, laptop, or tablet? It boils down to asking yourself one simple question:
How am I going to use this new computer?
With a desktop, you get more power and features that just can’t fit into a laptop-sized package. You also tend get more for your money with a desktop. If space is not an issue and you don't need to lug your PC around with you, then a desktop is your best choice.
If you want the freedom to sit outside, go down to the local coffee shop, or use it for a business trip, you need a laptop. Newer models are equally as good as most desktop PCs with many featuring widescreen LED panels for High Definition DVD viewing. However, all this comes with a price. Laptops will always carry a heftier price tag, with the higher spec models being significantly more expensive than their desktop counterparts.
In the last couple of years a new category of devices have entered the market. Tablet PCs (iPad, anyone?). These new devices are becoming increasingly more powerful and sophisticated and share some of the “portable” benefits of a laptop.
