Types of Computers: Laptops

Laptop Computers (sometimes called Notebooks) may be dead handy to take your office with you, but be warned: you're carrying some disadvantages in that bag, too.

Here are some points that Mick learned through owning his laptop.

Keep in Mind:

  • With a laptop, you're paying for convenience, not power. The same investment will give you a smaller screen than you would get with a PC, a slower processor, and so on.
  • Special designs are needed in order to fit all of the components into the slim cases. Each company has its own way of making them fit.
  • Consequently: it's not possible to open the cases, remove an old part, and install a new "off the shelf" replacement.
  • Generally speaking: Laptops cannot be upgraded and require trained professionals to fix most serious problems.

  •  

    Though some of the techniques that you will learn can help to correct software-related problems, this course will not specifically cover laptop upgrade or repair.

    What brand of laptop does Mick recommend? Sony Vaio: they are very expensive, but they are absolutely beautiful machines.
