1. Laptop vs Desktop

People have been using a desktop computer at home, work, and school for years. Now they are great new machines to have a portable computer called the laptop. However, both of computers are has advantages and disadvantages.

Firstly, the main benefit of a laptop is the portability. This can be a huge benefit, allowing you to take your computer go to anywhere. For example, If you constantly have to go on trips, a laptop will be very useful because your own laptop will have all your information such as your home works, pictures, music, presentations, e-mail. However, the prize of laptop is very high than desktop. Definitely, a desktop computer tends to be cheaper than a laptop computer of similar specification. For example, if you buy a standard desktop PC with fairly moderate features such as 1GB ready access memory (RAM) and 160GB hard drive will cost you less than $300, but a laptop which has features that can replace your desktop will cost you at least $700.

Secondly, Laptops are compact. The single laptop contains, your monitor, CPU, speakers, keyboard, mouse and everything else a normal computer contains. If you do not have place at home or have little space on your office desk, then it would be good to go in for laptop. In contrast, desktop is easy to upgrade than the laptop. Upgrading the memory, hard drive or most other components of your desktop PC require minimal understanding of the way in which the computer works. Also, when you open up your desktop's tower, you will see that there is plenty of room to move around to remove and/or replace parts. This case I used to do to my desktop many times.

Thirdly, a laptop computer is more power-efficient than a desktop. This is beneficial for businesses and homes where there is a computer running constantly. You could even save money on your electricity bill if you choose a laptop computer over a desktop PC. What is more, laptop computer can be distracting to work at a computer with a droning fan or one that sounds like it’s taking off every time you open a file. A laptop computer is often quieter than a desktop PC, due to better components and less heat production. This means cooling fans can be run at a slower speed and less often, giving you a quieter working environment. Conversely, desktop will not require accessories such as portable charging cords or batteries. Also, because desktops are easier to upgrade than laptop, accessories such as external hard drives and external disc drives are generally not needed. In addition, desktop computer are more powerful, reliable, easier to fix and doesn't get stolen very much if compared to a laptop computer.

To sum up, the laptop is the mobility, and powerful to used everywhere and every time but the prize is more expensive than the desktop but the desktop is cheaper, easier to upgrade or replace components, and less appealing to a thief than the laptop. In my opinion, I think a laptop has more advantages over a desktop. If you need to buy a new computer I suggest the Mac laptop is the best choice for you.


2. Buy a new or used computer which one is better?

Today, computers have become such an important part of outlives that you can find a computer in almost every home across the country. Unfortunately, computers are not the cheapest items, especially for people who are going through tough economic times. However, there are ways people can acquire a computer that they can afford.

First of all, buy new computer you will get warranty service. Most of new computer give you at least a one year warranty, if your laptop get the problem you can turn it to the company and then someone will fix it for you. In fact, this choice is get benefit more than buy a second hand computer. Average warranties that come with a used computer are normally less than a year. Depending on where you buy the computer, sometimes you will be offered the option of buying an extended warranty. Therefore, this issue is if you buy second hand, you are not saving much money because while it may be cheaper it also has a shorter working life. There are also higher support costs associated with second hand computers, both from the fact that they are older and probably going to break down more, and from having to replace them more often. For example, two months ago, I bought a used computer for my temple but it was broke many times in the period, so a second hand computer is not good enough for your afford.

Secondly, buy new computer you can gauge the quality of the system by the brand name. If you buy a high-end system from a good company you will usually not have to worry about getting a piece of junk because they will undergo rigorous testing for performance and making sure all components are in excellent working order before they are sold. Oppositely, If the computer proprietary then they will be expensive to repair, and oftentimes may not be able to repaired economically at all. When you comes to buying second hand computer, there is also less choice in local and proprietary in general, the local assembled computer is often a lot harder to find because of lower market penetration. But when you buy new, the choice is obviously greater.

Thirdly, a new computer is highest speed than old computer. As a result, you are assured of a high quality computer. So, it can help you get benefits for use the great software such as Animation, Sony Vegas or Photo shop are easier than the lowest computer. On the other hand, if you buy a used computer you will be getting a greatly reduced cost of as much as 50% or more less than the normal prize. For instance, when you buy a brand name brand new lap top being sold for $1500.00, but the second hand just sales about $700.00. What is more, new computers are always entering the market, if you were to buy a new computer every time an upgrade came out, you would likely go broke. Therefore, buying a used computer is an affordable solution to the increasing costs of brand new computers.

In conclusion, buy new or used computer could be get many advantages and disadvantages depend on the way you like and can be afford it. For me, I support to buy a new computer rather than buy a used computer.
