With all the technology and mobility devices nowadays, it is quite a hard decision to made when it comes to getting the next computer. I personally owned 2 laptops, and they are both sweet One is a Mac, one is a PC. However, the time of choosing another new computer has come. It’s for my partner, colleague, wife

Starting December, we will start off our business. However, we are both dilemma in choosing the next computer. We made some list of pros and cons for S.O.H.O to have a desktop and laptop.

Desktop

• Good – Power wise
• Good – Long terms upgrade
• Good – Low maintain
• Bad – Size and weight
• Bad – High power consumption

Laptop

• Good – Portability
• Good – Asset renewal after 2/3 years
• Bad – Small and heat
• Bad – Easy to be stolen
• Bad – One broker means the whole laptop into repair shop

We ended up coming back to square one But whatever it is, we are still on our first step now. Looking forward to see more new models coming out

I am in the middle of struggling of desktop and laptop. Recently I felt like I’m lack of computer to use, I mean a useful one Anyway, laptop or desktop that’s my concern. Since I move around quite a lot (As in moving my room/place etc, not walking to another place). The thing is, I’m so used to have a small screen First year in college I was using my sister’s desktop running at Pentium 3, 1GHz, 512MB RAM, coming with a 14″ CRT monitor. Then I moved along with my Macbook with 13.3″ LCD screen and now back to PC laptop that has about 14.1″ LCD screen, all of those taking me a great 5 years and still with less than 17″ screen. My eyes…

Here are my concern:
Desktop

• Cost about the same, but with bigger screen
• Not convenient for me to move around
• I can play with hardware instead of software
• Consume more electricity than laptop that run with 6 cell battery
• Upgradable, which mean it has a longer lifespan
• Expandable, can add more hardware/storage and etc
• Require some space on my table or my room

Laptop

• Cost the same as dekstop, but smaller screen
• Can move when and where I want anytime
• Software again, but Ubuntu can be main used then
• Consume less electric but the UV from screen is strong
• Cannot upgrade, life-span about 4 years or maybe 5

Feeling stupid to do such a comparison. But anyway, I’ve checked into the market price listing. I can easily get a good spec (Almos the same spec with my current laptop) for about RM1800 and for desktop, I could get a good and big LCD screen to help my eyes. Using a laptop is just like a desktop having a diet pill, shrink down a little bit. The cost is almost the same after all. But whatever I’ll be choosing, the front part is still $$…
