Laps Are the New Desks

Lovin' my laptop!

For 4 years now, my laptop has been my primary computer. For me, the reason is that I work from office AND home AND on the road.

This article gives a few other reasons why laptops have outsold desktop computers for the past few years. (starting in May 2003 or May 2005, depending on the source)

"This is due to three major trends: First, laptops have become more advanced, and the technology they contain finally rivals that offered by desktop PCs. Second, laptops have become dramatically cheaper over the past few years. Companies such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard are currently offering models for around $500, with rebates. But the third and probably most important reason laptops have been selling so well is the remarkable spread of wireless technology. Airports, hotels, coffee shops, college campuses, convention centers and almost anywhere business takes place or people simply have to stop and think, Wi-Fi is there."
