All tricks computer and internet

With all of the possibilities that the market has to offer, you are probably wondering whether buying a laptop is still a good idea. A laptop computer used to be differentiated from the desktop computer by its mobility. Today, however, there are several other mobile devices that can be used for work, watching movies, playing games and browsing the web.


So, the big question remains - should you still buy a laptop computer?

Laptops vs. Tablets: The Biggest Pros

According to many experts, 2013 is the year of the tablet due to the popularity that the device has gained. The worldwide tablet market experienced growth of 142.4 percent in the first quarter of 2013 in comparison to the same period last year. According to the International Data Corporation, the worldwide shipment of tablets reached 49.2 million.

Tablets still miss a number of important characteristics, however. The main advantages of the laptop include:

• Better performance
• Multitasking
• Larger display

What does a tablet have to offer?

• Very lightweight
• A longer battery life

If you are looking for a portable computer that you can use to work and to process documents, the laptop is still a better option. You can perform all of the tasks that you can perform on a desktop computer, plus you get mobility. Tablets are still considered a poor option by people who have to make presentations and by hardcore gamers.

What is the Laptop Missing?

The casual user will do just fine with a tablet. If general entertainment is the purpose of the purchase, the tablet is a better pick.

It is much lighter than the laptop. Just put it in your handbag and go anywhere. It lets you carry around books, games, favorite movies and documents. Internet browsing is also easy and fun.

The main disadvantages of the laptop are:

• In comparison to a desktop computer, the laptop is more difficult to upgrade
• Mobility can be limited by size, if you pick a larger laptop
• Tablets can perform simple computing tasks, so there is no need to carry a laptop around
• The touch input of the tablet could be better for gaming, processing photos and working with multimedia

Is a Hybrid Laptop the Answer?

Looking for a portable computer option? Cannot decide between a laptop computer and a tablet? The hybrid may the answer to your questions.

The hybrid is an innovative laptop that transforms into a tablet. The keyboard can be detached and the screen has a touch function that turns it into a tablet. Hybrid laptops, however, tend to be more expensive and the tablet is heavier than other tablets being offered for sale.

Laptops and tablets have pros and cons. Both of them are mobile, a characteristic that the desktop computer lacks. Having both or buying a hybrid is still the best possibility.

Windows 8 is making a headway against Vista. However, both of them have no match with Windows 7. The most recent figures have shown that, in May, Windows 8 has a 4.27 percentage share of the PCs being installed worldwide versus the 4.51% for Vista. As you know, Vista is one of the least popular OSes introduced in November 2006. But then again, maybe they will be breaking out the sparkling wine soon. Still, Windows 7 leads a long shot at 44.85% and it truly made gains in May. It had 44.72% in April.

Newer Isn't Always Better

We need to understand the situation. According to Bill Gates, higher is better. Let's take a look at the reality. The Windows Me, the blue one has problems. The Windows 98 has issues. The Windows Vista could not transfer files over a network at rational speeds. Users were happy with Windows XP but it became out-dated. Now, this most recent version, which is Windows 8, has even more issues. This points out that newer is not always better. As what Bill Gates says, it's not practical to point out the best one, when the most recent has more issues. Without a doubt, people prefer Windows 7 because it has operated far better and has had lesser and more tolerable issues.

Still, Windows 7 Is Pretty Good

Many people tried to purchase and install Windows 8 on their desktop or laptop, but when they discovered some drawbacks, they came back to Windows 7. Users know that Windows 7 does not have a touch screen, but that does not matter. People with laptops and desktops are used to having a mouse as a way to navigate and do not mind that it is not similar to Smartphone, touch screens or tablets. Windows 7 does not push services to people. It is more comfortable in desktop experience and users are not forced to hunt the disabling settings, as well as learning to live with the things that cannot be disabled.

When people see Windows 8, they will get excited at first. But, when they get to know it better, most of them would love to go back to Windows 7, due to its convenience. Windows 7 is indeed great, and this is the reason why most businesses are sticking with it. As you know, Windows 7 is derived from XP. Though, Windows 8 got its throne from Vista. There is nothing better than Window 7.
