The Many Types of PCs

There are many types of computers available. To prevent your eyes from glazing over, I'll keep it short and simple. If you want to use your computer at home or in your office, you will want to purchase a desktop (horizontal system box) or tower (vertical system box). If you need to use your computer at various locations, you should invest in a portable PC.

Most laptop computers(portable PCs) are small and easy to carry. There are several things you should check when choosing a notebook computer that is right for you. First, you want to make sure that the keyboard isn't too small. If you have large hands, it will be very difficult to hit the keys. Second, you want to make sure that the mouse is easy to use. Some laptop computers have very cumbersome mouse controls. If possible, make sure that the laptop has the option to connect an external mouse. Third, you want to know what type of battery the machine uses, and how long it lasts.

Laptops are usually more expensive than your average desktop pc because a lot of complex technology is required to fit everything in such a small package. We will dig deeper into the internal components of these systems at a later date. Let's continue to focus on the bottom-line.
