Laptops are becoming as common as your cellular phone,
and now they share the hardware industry as that of desktop computers with a number
of configurable options. The features, the price, the build quality, the weight
and dimensions, the display, battery uptime or that matter, the ease of the trackball.
Earlier, there were hardly any configurable options available but today, we have
a variety of laptops n different configurations with the process and just about
anything you want.Companies such as Intel, AMD, Transmeta and nViad, to name only
a few, are making laptops a hype and reality. Intel and AMD have brought out technologies
such as speed step to preserve battery power in laptops.If you are on the move
all the time, you probably need a laptop that can do all the things that you will
not be able to do all the things that you will not only able you to create documents,
spreadsheets and presentations, but also send and receive e-mail, access the web
and may be even play music CDs or watch a DVD movie to get that much deserved
break. You need laptop that is also study enough to take the bumps and joints
in its stride while you are on the move.
If on other hand, you want a laptop for
basic tasks and primarily for the mobility so that your work does not get held
up on the occasions that you need to travel, then you would not necessarily need
the best in terms of the choice and power of its individual sub systems. There
fore, if the CD-ROM drive, floppy drive is not integrated into the main unit,
but it supplied as an additional peripheral, the frequent traveler would not only
mind, because the overall weight of the laptop would be significantly lesser and
would be easier on your shoulder after a long day commuting.
