7 things to look out for when buying a laptop

Get value for you money when you buy a laptop

It’s no doubt that laptops have become more preferable to most people over desktops. This is due to the fact that, they are compact enough to carry with you, yet versatile enough to run demanding applications. Laptops are by far the best tool for doing serious work or play whether you’re at home, on the road or in a college classroom. For these reasons, we have compiled this list to help you choose the best laptop to suit your needs.

With a wide variety of sizes, features and prices available in the market, choosing the best laptop may become a challenge. That’s why you need to first figure out what your needs are.

1. Pick a Platform: Mac, Windows or Chrome OS?

Deciding on the right operating system can be overwhelming for some people, as there are so many factors to consider when choosing an operating system. Your personal preference for features, capabilities, user-friendliness, and price will affect the type of operating system you will choose.

As this post is specifically on the things to consider when buying a laptop, we will stick to that. But we will make a post with a roundup of the most vital information on the latest from Windows, Mac, and Chrome to enlighten you the the different types of operating systems and to make the process a lot easier for you. So stay tuned.

2. Decide on functionalities

Many PC laptops come with the ability to switch between modes. These include the traditional clam-shell mode, tablet mode and other positions in between such as tent or stand modes. These types of laptops usually come in different styles: Detachable with screens that could be separated entirely from the keyboard, and flexible laptops that bend back 360 degrees to change modes. It is important to note that these laptops are much better at serving one purpose than the other, so if you don’t see the need to use your laptop as a tablet, then you’ll usually advisable to go for more performance with a traditional clam-shell laptop.

3. Choose the Right Size

Before you look at specs or pricing, you need to figure out just how portable you need your laptop to be. Laptops are usually categorized by their display sizes:

11 to 12 inches: The thinnest and lightest systems around have 11- to 12-inch screens and typically weigh much less and are very portable. come in handy if you are always on the go.

13 to 14 inches: Provides a very good balance of portability and usability, particularly if you get a laptop that weighs less than 4 pounds.

17 to 18 inches: If your laptop stays on your desk all day every day, a 17- or 18-inch system could provide you with the kind of processing power you need for high level productivity.

4. Check keyboard and touchpad

If you plan to do a lot of work on your computer, you will want to make sure the keyboard offers solid tactile feedback, plenty of key travel (the distance the key goes down when pressed, usually 1 to 2 mm) and is also ergonomically friendly.

5. Pick Your Specs

Here are the main components to keep an eye on.

CPU: The “brains” of your computer, the processor has a huge influence on performance, but depending on what you want to do, even the least-expensive model may be good enough.

RAM: Some laptops come with only 4GB of RAM, but ideally you want at least 8GB on even a budget system and 16GB if you can spend just a little more. For most folks, 32GB or more is more than enough while 64GB and above is reserved for power users.

Storage Drive (Hard Drive): Even more important than the speed of your CPU is the performance of your storage drive. If you can afford it and don’t need a ton of internal storage, get a laptop with a solid state drive (SSD) rather than a hard drive, because you’ll see at least three times the speed and a much faster laptop overall.

Display: The more pixels you have, the more content you can fit on-screen, and the sharper it will look. Sadly, some budget laptops still have 1366 x 768 displays and so do a few business laptops, but if you can afford it, we recommend paying extra for a panel that runs at 1920 x 1080, also known as Full HD or 1080p. Higher-end laptops have screens that are 2560 x 1600, 3200 x 1800 or even 3840 x 2160 (4K), which all look sharp but consume more power, lowering your battery life.

Graphics Chip: If you’re not playing PC games, creating 3D objects or doing high-res video editing, an integrated graphics chip (one that shares system memory) will be fine, especially Intel’s latest Iris Plus graphics. If you have any of the above needs, though, a discrete graphics processor from AMD or Nvidia is essential.

As with CPUs, there are both high- and low-end graphics chips. Low-end gaming or workstation systems today usually have Nvidia MX250 or GTX 1650 GPUs while mid-range models have RTX 2050 or RTX 2060 and high-end models have RTX 2070 or 2080 GPUs. Nvidia maintains a list of its graphics chips from low to high end.

Ports: While the absence of ports is usually not a deal-breaker when choosing a laptop, it’s helpful to get the connections you need right on the system, rather than having to carry a slew of dongles. Most mainstream laptops will have USB 3.0 ports and HDMI out for video. However, an increasing number of laptops use USB Type-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports that are USB Type-C compatible.

DVD/Blu-ray Drives: Few laptops come with optical drives, because all software and movies are downloadable, though we’ve kept track of the laptops with DVD drives. However, if you really need to read/write discs and your laptop of choice doesn’t come with a built-in DVD drive, you can always buy an external one that connects via USB.

6. Plan Based on Your Budget

These days, you can buy a usable laptop for under R5 000, but if you can budget more, you’ll get a system with better build quality, stronger performance and a better display. Be sure to budget for the best if you want to enjoy maximum satisfaction.

7. Mind the Brand

Your laptop is only as good as the company that stands behind it. Accurate and timely technical support is matters a lot. This past year Apple came in first place, followed by the big story of the year: Razer, while Dell rounded out the top three. Support is only part of what makes a notebook brand worth your money. You also have to consider reviewing performance and other criteria. In 2019 Best and Worst Laptop Brands report, HP placed first, followed by Asus and Dell. I do not say go buy those brands, but they are pretty good to try.

The lone problem solver

Our very civilization is organised around the fact that, we are social beings. But did you know that studies have shown that, many people who are considered to be highly intelligent, prefer to spend a lot of their time alone?

The main reason behind this believe stems back to how our ancestors solved problems. For a very long time – as long as we can remember, humans have collaborated and worked together to solve all manner of complex problems, from social issues, to complex mathematical and engineering problems. The “two heads and better than one ” concepts worked well, since more brain power meant more generation of ideas and working together made things easier.

 Today, however, through rapid evolution and the influx of technology, these concepts have become somewhat outdated. Humankind now finds itself in the “solo-problem-solver” era, the lone Achiever. The blue-sky thinkers who look outside the box and have the ability to transform the world with bold ideas and innate intelligence.

Lets talk about the idea of being alone in regards to the law of attraction.

 

Many have come to believe that the law of attraction, plays a great role in what we experience in live. If you set your mind to something, work towards it and fully believe you can accomplish it, more often than not, you will achieve it. Positive thinking, coupled with positive action can be the key to attracting or realizing anything we desire in life. But when we relay those goals to a group of friends or colleagues and it only takes one detractor to say “you can’t” to through a wrench in a successful execution of your plans.The poison of negativity feeds negativity and creates a stifling, crippling environment that won’t foster the inspiration and drive you need to succeed.

For many, being alone and free from the negative energy that others have to offer, is a much easier space to create a life of positivity, achievements and happiness. For others, being alone brings more peace, and with more peace, comes more creative energy, and with more creative energy comes greater results.

Lets talk about the effects of being alone in regard to the ability to solve problems.

Evolution has allowed individual people the ability of innate intelligence to solve an innumerable amount of complex problems on their own. Historically, the evolution of our species shows us that working within a group was beneficial, and while many aspects of our development once owed themselves to this approach, the ascendants of man in this current era has leaped forward so vastly taking unprecedented strides and changing the way we look for solutions to solve problems. The way we think now encourages and demands of us to sort for ways to solve our problems on our own. Innovation and creative approaches often originate from people working in isolation.

We now look to the individual for solutions, our technology has improved, education has improved, technology continue to advance at an astronomical pace and we have access to more and more resources.

Of course this doesn’t mean we can’t sometimes use help from our friends and peers and even colleagues to solve the difficult problems we face, it simply means that we can focus more completely when we work by ourselves, when we are self-reliant in our quest for solutions.

Nowadays the “two-heads” concept doesn’t serve us, instead becoming a mess of “two many cooks spoiling the soup” slowing down the problem-solving process and obstructing the person who has the intelligence to seek out answers.

How to score 100/100 marks in Math

Mathematics can be a nightmare to some students whereas fun for others. It is basically because of the same reason. Unlike like language subjects wherein there can be a maybe, in math you either get it completely right or entirely wrong. And that is why it is definitely possible to score 100/100 marks in math.

How can you score 100/100 marks in math:

People say that only the learners with a rational bent of mind understand mathematics. But it is not so. Mathematics is a subject which helps in developing a rational thinking and a logical approach in learners. A learner cannot be made to fall in love with mathematics overnight but following the tips below can help you to improve your score in math and even help you achieve full marks.

During Exam Preparations:

. Make a separate register for theorems, formulae:

Math is all about theorems, concepts and formulae, and it’s always wise to keep them handy. You can read and brush them up even when you are on the move and this practice also comes to rescue when you are having a last minute revision.

• Solve Problems yourself:

     Whereas it is good to go through and understand different types of problems, it is very important to solve them yourself. Knowing theories and concept is necessary but to learn their application is inescapable if you want to score full marks in maths. You have to solve each by yourself.

• Understand your syllabus: Understanding your portions and the weightage attached to different sections helps you in deciding how much time to dedicate to each section. For example, if you know that there will be just a 5 marks question from a particular section, you do not have to dedicate a week practicing that section.
•  Practice Papers:

Practice papers are a good way to mentally prepare yourself for what you are going to get in the exams. The more you solve these, more confidence you will gain towards your achievement of scoring the highest score. Also, it is important to understand that you need not wait for your syllabus to finish before you start solving these. As you go on finishing different sections, you can find the respective questions from the sample papers and solve them side by side.

• Address your problem areas outright:

There may be times when you are solving a sample paper and you come across some questions which you cannot solve. While it is convenient to keep them aside to clear later, over a period of time these accumulate and become a burden for you. So the earlier you tackle a problem the better.

• Time Management:

It is not easy to be a maths champion. You must take out some time every day to solve mathematical problems in order to score 100/100 marks in maths, even when you have dedicated a particular day to some other subject. This can range from a quick half an hour of going through your register of formulae, or dedicating couple of hours to solve sample papers.

During Examination:

. Clean Paper and margin:

The cleaner, the better. You should keep in mind that the examiner needs to understand each and every step how you have arrived at an answer and unfortunately he does not have much time to dedicate on a single problem. A clean paper also reflects an uncluttered mind.

•  Marks are in the steps:

Whenever you go through a practice problem’s solution and understand its rationale, pay special focus on how the different steps progress. You cannot cram answers and achieve full marks in maths, so just paying heed to the figures in the examples is a waste of your time. Instead you must learn the various steps involved. Remember that even if you attempt and write some steps, you will definitely secure some marks for each step, irrespective of whether your answer is correct or incorrect.

• Figures and Graphs:

Figures and graphs can fetch you easy marks if made with a little concentration. For this, keep a ruler which has sharp and smooth side and a pencil which is well sharpened. These, if you have practiced well, constitute the simplest parts of the exam and you can aim to finish this as soon as you get your paper.

• Finish familiar questions first:

 Read the question paper thoroughly before you start solving the questions. While it is natural to be stuck on the questions which you find unfamiliar, you must remember that you have to finish your examination in a stipulated time. In order to achieve 100/100 marks in maths, you much strategize to first finish the questions you know and then move on to the unfamiliar questions.

•  Revise, revise, and revise:

Once you are through with writing the paper, take a deep breath and revise it thoroughly. In the first revision check whether you have attempted all questions or not. This is important because you might not have solved the questions in a given order. In the second revision check the steps and the rest. If time still remains, go through the sheet once again!

To achieve 100/100 marks in maths, make it a fun experience. Understand the basic concept first and then try solving as many problems as possible. Remember that there are no shortcuts in maths!

10 Ways to Improve Your Grades to your academic potential

Even the smartest Learners may sometimes find themselves academically under-performing. When students find themselves in this situation, it’s not always the end as there is always room for improvement.

For those who can relate to the paragraph above, you need to work out the reasons why you may be under-performing, and then decide how to tackle the problem. This article shows you how you can achieve the grades you know you’re capable of achieving. Follow the 10 steps bellow and watch your grades go up.

1. Adopt a positive attitude

It’s always normal to feel disappointed with oneself when you under-perform. When your grades are not the way you’d hoped for, you may start to feel depressed or defeated, and feel like giving up. But on the contrary you need to be positive about the situation if you’re to stand a chance of turning things around. Acknowledge that your grades aren’t what you aimed for, but believe that you can do something about the situation. Instead of thinking “I am a failure”, start thinking “I can do better than this, this is not my potential”.

2. Figure out where you’re falling short

It is very important to define your problem clearly, you need to have a clear understanding of which areas need targeting before you can draw up a plan of action. you need to know where you are under-performing, and why? Are your grades consistently lower than you’d like them to be, in all your subjects, or is there a particular area you’re struggling with that’s bringing down your overall performance in a particular subject/s? You’ll probably already have a vague idea of the answers to this question.

Next, think about the reasons why you’re not performing to your full academic potential in the areas you’ve identified. Assess the external factors that may be negatively affecting your grades, such as a family problem or worrying about a social situation at school? and the personal problems you struggling with especially poor academic skills that might be dragging you down, such as essay-writing, study style or/and note-taking?Ask yourself “are you studying in a way that works for you”?

These are some factors that may be affecting your overall academic performance, so once you’ve identified what the problem is – it could be a combination of more than one of these issues or just a single one of them –you’ll be able to start tackling it. If the problems are external, you’ll need to address them properly so they don’t adversely affect your studies; seeing a counselor might be a good idea.

3. Approach your Educators

Your teachers know you best, so it’s worth talking to them when when you realize your poor performance, and when you’re drawing up a plan of action for improving your grades. Ask them where they think you need to improve, and they’ll probably have some advice on how you can go about the whole process. Keep in mind that your teacher will be proud of you for taking such a step towards improving your grades.

4. Maximize your time in class

If you’re prone to daydreaming in class and not paying attention to what is happening around you, it’s about time you start focusing on the here and now. Pay attention to what the teacher is saying as this can make the learning process much easier, we learn a lot just by listening to others. Don’t simply copy down what’s on the board without first understanding the concept; make sure you’ve understood it, make neat notes and don’t be afraid to speak up in class if there’s something you don’t understand or want clarification. It’s much easier to ask a teacher to explain something differently than it is to trawl through your books trying to find a clearer explanation for yourself.

5. Become more organized

Keep your workspace, your notes and your textbooks organized so that you know where everything is. Time management is vital at this point, as this will allow you to prioritize your time and do what is very important first. Write yourself a daily timetable that favors your school schedule. Allocate extra time to subjects or topics you’ve identified as being your point of weakness; it could be that the reason for your under-performance in these subjects is your not devoting enough time to them.

6. Improve your note-taking skills

Chances are one of the reasons you have identified for under-performing is you are not taking good enough notes. Hurriedly copied notes from class can be difficult to make sense of when you come to study them, or even to write an essay based on them. It’s all too easy to misunderstand your own notes. It’s imperative, therefore, that you produce good notes from your classes and from the books you use.

7. Improve your essay-writing skills

Another common reason for academic under-performance is that the student’s essay-writing skills aren’t sufficient enough for the level they may expect to achieve. This is can be easily fixed by improving your essay-writing technique.

Good essay techniques covers all aspects of essay-writing, from the research phase to the final proofread. Take some time to work on your essay writing skills inorder to watch your grades improve.

8. Consider changing your learning style

Another prominent reason for academic under-performance could be that you haven’t found the right learning style for you. We’re all different, and each of us has our own way of studying or learning a new material or concept to yield the best results. Perhaps you just don’t know your most effective studying style yet. Also identify the time of the day when you are most product. For some people its in the morning and for others, in the night. It will be of your ultimate benefit to dedicate more of your productive time on areas or subject you identified as your weakness.

9. Improve your memory

Many students struggle when it comes to remembering all the information they need for exams, and this brings their grades down. With so much to learn, remembering facts, figures and arguments is a pretty monumental task To solve this problem it is best practice to familiarize yourself with the material you need to remember. Create mind-maps, cue cards, keep a jotter where you write down important facts and core arguments. Also by studying few ours a day with breaks in between each study session you increase your ability to recall the material. Make out plenty of time for revision before the exam. Check out our post on how to study effectively.

10. Stop procrastinating

Procrastinating is what keeps most learners below average. Putting off work, distracting yourself with other things, such as social media and socializing with friends is a common practice among learners. This serve as a response to a big workload; when you have so much to do that you don’t know where to start, the temptation is simply not to start. The problem is that by procrastinating, you’re delaying the inevitable, as well as making your task more difficult as you spend time you could be productive to do other things that don’t benefit you academically. Do what you have to do early so you have enough time for revisions.

Hope this article helps you improve your grades.

10 REASONS YOUR NEXT DEVICE SHOULD BE A LAPTOP

In the early days, laptops were big and heavy making them unfriendly. But things have since changed, and now laptops are in many ways the ideal computing solution for anyone. Below are some reasons why you should own a laptop.

1. Accessibility.

While a desktop may restrict your usage, a laptop gives you the power to use your computer at your own pace. You don’t need to be constantly connected to the power source which keeps you insecure from unexpected power failures which may result to lose of information and also prevent you access to your computer.

2. After use and resale value.

Unlike desktop computers you will not have to struggle to sell your laptop once you no longer need it, as it is far more easy to sell a laptop than a desktop computer. Also you need not worry about the resale value as laptops present very good resale value . Even old laptops in fairly good conditions are worth only some fractions of their original value, whereas desktop machines tend to go to zero resale value much more quickly.

3. Portable.

Portability does not necessarily mean, switching on your laptop at the park and accessing the free Wi-Fi available, (even though you could). With a laptop you could do much more. I am talking about taking your computer to the next room, using it in bed, using your computer in the kitchen, in the bus, in classrooms, meetings and even on the road – things you just can’t do with a desktop PC and which are limited by the small size of a tablet or phone.

4. Space-saver.

One of the real joys of owning a laptop is setting up a work area on your desk and realize all the free space available. All you have is the laptop and possibly an external mouse – and a good amount of usable space. You just escaped cluttering your working space with all the several components that come with the desktop.

5. Energy-saver.

The fact that Laptops use far less energy than desktop PCs do make them the go-computers. We all look out to reduce our energy consumption for several reasons. Whether you’re concerned about the environment or just want to keep your electric bill low, a laptop is able to help.

6. Ergonomically friendly.

Your typing speed will increase almost instantly as laptops make typing generally easier. After using a laptop for a while, a desktop keyboard will feel clunky compared to the super-easy laptop keys. Additionally, laptops have a built-in wrist rest, which makes them ergonomically friendly.

7. Easy access to internals.

Unlike a desktop, most laptops require less technical skills to access and change faulty internals. To remove the hard drive or RAM of any laptop is fairly easy. This makes it easy to do simple repair without having to visit a technician and in tend incur the cost that comes with it.

8. Everything works better.

A majority of laptops are designed to use a certain set of hardware components. That is, a given model of laptop will usually be designed around the same components, meaning there is no trouble on your part deciding which component will work. In addition they come with very compatible operating systems.

9. Easy-access USB.

Most laptops have 4 USB ports (two on the side, two on the back) which are in easy reach. Connectivity is enhanced and that works in your advantage.

10. always on-hand.

With laptop models getting smaller and lighter than ever, they are literally very handy computers. This means you will usually have it nearby, even if you didn’t plan to use it – which makes using it much more easier.

Laptops have never made more sense, so go ahead, get that laptop. You’ll be happy you did.

10 SIGNS YOU ARE PROBABLY A GENIUS

          

Have you ever felt like you are the smartest person in the room? Well I know I am; nobody else is here right now. You feel like no other person understands you because you are just too sophisticated. Well there are a few ways to find out and prove it to those who doubt you, go through this list of ten items to see just how much of a genius you are.

1. YOU ARE LEFT HANDED:  you may have to put up with right-handed desks and other pitfalls of being left-handed, but you also get the chance to glow about how smart you are. A joined study performed by the university of Liverpool, University of Milan and MIT found that left-handed people exhibit a more developed right brain hemisphere, that hemisphere is directly responsible for processing special reasoning and rotating mental representation. Left-handed people are also found to have a greater link between the two hemispheres which exist and information processing.
2. YOU’RE SENSE OF HUMOR IS UNPARALLELED: Have a problem where you turn to laugh at dark jokes? You may be a genius, a study in the cognitive processing journal concluded that people who enjoy dark humor turn to have a high IQ. To prove the correlation between an inappropriate sense of humor and intelligence, 136 male and female were read cartoon from the black book by Ulistein, each participant indicated whether they understood and appreciated the joke then took a basic IQ test, in general, those who understood the joke and found it funny also scored higher on the IQ test.
3. YOU ENJOY THE NIGHT: If this one is true, everyone at 10 top ten is the smartest they can. Psychology today once reported that people with higher intelligence, are typically night-Hours. Young Americans were studied and it was determined that those with a higher IQ enjoyed staying up late.  Psychologists at the London school of economics and political science Satashi Kanazowa followed this up with the report that there is a clear correlation between IQ and sleeping patens. According to Kanazowa the average brain has been conditioned to follow the same sleeping paten of primitive people. Who rose and fell with the sun.
4. YOU ENJOY A CHALLENGE: If you are a true genius, you aren’t going to be looking for the easy way out, you want the challenge, and you want to learn every step of the way. A true genius may find themselves sacrificing sleep for the sake of a good riddle or solving an illusion or a brain teaser. People of higher IQ and genius level intellect; don’t find much pleasure in simplistic puzzles that even commoners could solve.
5. YOU ENJOY A GOODD BOOK: it is not so much that non-geniuses don’t read, but someone who qualifies as a genius or has a much higher IQ is more prone in spending their Saturday evening deep in a book. It is however believed that there is a correlation between reading more and an increase in the three types of intelligence, Emotional intelligence, crystalline intelligence, and Book intelligence. It may also help if you start reading books written by geniuses or biographies about geniuses but that’s not an official studies.
6. YOU’RE A WORRYWART:  there is nothing worse than spending your day worried about everything. The end of the world; it’s always on your mind, Terrorism; can’t stop thinking about it right? Well there is a chance that that overactive mind of yours may mean that you are a genius. Doctor Adams Peperns, EXPERT OF NEUROBIOLOGY of personality at Kings College in London believes he found a link between anxiety, overactive imaginations and very intelligent people. One argument in favor of the believe, is that the overactive imagination is of self-preservation.
7. YOU ARE ADDICTED TO SOMETHING:  it may sound a little contradictory, and you may immediately think that if someone gets addicted to something, they already not smart for trying an addictive substance. If history says anything though, people dimmed genius were known for their addictive habits. Consider Charles Dikon and his love for Opium, the list goes on and on and includes names like; Sickmen Floyd, Vincent Dengo, and even fictional geniuses like Doctor Gregory House, although personally I think your smarter if you don’t get involved with any of these abusive substances.
8. YOU HAVE A CURIUSE MIND: It will make sense that a genius will be curious right? It was albert Einstein who by the way was taught to have an addiction to tobacco and cocaine who said, “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” Research from 2016, Edge Rehern FIRM and Helen Chen performed in London, discussed the relation between childhood intelligence and the curiosity they show as adults. It was determined that the 11 year olds that score high on an IQ test were more open to life experiences at an older age.
9. YOU’RE RESERVED:  The gifted development center took a look at gifted children to determine what it was like to be a sort of childhood genius, what they determined was that, sometimes the highly intelligent had a higher level of reservation. The study found that 60% of gifted and intelligent kids had introverted personalities. It also showed that more than 75% of people spot with an IQ of more than 160 or higher, was also shy.
10. YOU TALK TO YOURSELF:  genius are crazy, it’s a fun game to play. The quarterly journal of experiment and psychology printed a study performed by psychologists DANIEL Swigley and Garry Luppia that they realized that talking to yourself was actually pretty beneficial. The study said that 20 people off in search of an object in a supermarket; first they had to search for the item in silence, the second go-round they could speak to themselves and what was found was that those who spoke to themselves were able to complete the task more easily.

Thanks for reading; smart move, remember to follow the blog, and leave your IQ in the comment bellow. Rather than criticizing mine.

10 Reasons your next computer should be a laptop

Back in the early days of the PC revolution, laptops were big and heavy. But things have changed a lot since those days, and now laptops are in many ways the ideal computing solution. Here are the reasons why you should own a laptop.

1. Usability.

While a desktop may restrict your usage, a laptop gives you the power to use your computer at your own pace. You don’t need to be constantly connected to the power source which keeps you secure from unexpected power failures which may result to lose of information and also prevent you access to your computer.

2. Resale value.

Desktop PCs hold little resale value – but laptops hold a lot more. Even old and obsolete laptops in good condition are worth only some fraction of their original value, whereas desktop machines tend to go to zero resale value much more quickly.

3. Portable.

Portability does not necessarily mean, switching on your laptop at the park and accessing the free Wi-Fi available, (even though you could). With a laptop you could do much more. I am talking about taking your computer to the next room, using it in bed, using your computer in the kitchen, in the bus, in classrooms, meetings and even on the road – things you just can’t do with a desktop PC and which are limited by the small size of a tablet or phone.

4. Space-saver.

One of the real joys of having a laptop is setting up a work area on your computer desk and realizing all the space you just reclaimed. All you have is the laptop and possibly an external mouse and pad – and a bunch of newly freed-up real estate. You just escaped cluttering your working space with all the several components that come with the desktop.

5. Energy-saver.

Laptops use far less energy than desktop PCs do. Talking about energy, we all look out to reduce our energy consumption. Whether you’re concerned about the environment or just want to keep your electric bill at a reasonable level, a laptop has much less energy footprint.

6. More ergonomic keyboards.

Laptops use short profile keys with a scissor-style spring underneath. Your typing speed will increase almost instantly. After using one for a while, going back to a desktop keyboard feels old and clunky compared to the super-easy laptop keys. Additionally, the place where the trackpad is serves as a built-in wrist rest, so it’s also ergonomically sound.

7. Easier to access the internals.

If you need to get into the machine to replace or repair something, most laptops only require taking out one connector to remove the hard drive or RAM. After that it’s literally pop in/pop out to upgrade. It doesn’t get any easier than that.

8. Proprietary architecture means everything works better.

The vast majority of laptops are intentionally designed and sourced to use a certain set of hardware components. That is, a given make and model of laptop will usually be designed around the same components, meaning there is no guesswork as to whether those components will function together as a unit. Operating software like Windows or Linux, designed to work on a wide variety of hardware, runs into fewer conflicts and problems when it runs on a standardized set of hardware.

9. Easy-access USB.

Most laptops have 4 USB ports (two on the side, two on the back) which are in easy reach.

10. It’s always on-hand.

With laptop models getting smaller and lighter than ever, they are literally go-everywhere computers. This means you will usually have it nearby, even if you didn’t plan to use it – which makes using it that much easier.

Laptops have never made more sense as a primary computer instead of just as a backup for road warriors. So go ahead, get that laptop. You’ll be happy you did.
