In case you haven't been around for a while, maybe you've been abducted by aliens and kept in their spaceship for several years, computers are being used by more and more people today. It wasn't too many years ago that computers were considered a luxury by some. Now they are a necessity. In this article I'll be talking about the most popular kind of computer, and why you should have one. Despite the quickly growing popularity of hand held devices with increasingly complicated functions, the laptop computer is still the machine of choice for those who want to get some serious work done. Sure, smart phones, net pads and think pads are becoming more popular, but laptops are still preferred, according to sales statistics, and in this article you'll learn a couple reasons why. There's never been a better time than now to buy a new laptop. The first, and obvious reason is portability. Laptops today are so small, compact, and lightweight, you can slip them into your shoulder bag and not even notice the difference. No matter where you go today, you can see people using laptops everywhere. Coffee shops, airports, libraries, even on park benches, people are opening up their machines and getting some work done. One more great reason own one of these is that more and more places today are offering wireless Internet connectivity, or WiFi. Many cities today have free WiFi all throughout the city, and almost every coffee shop you'll find today has some kind of service plan, either a monthly, or a pay as you go plan. Some smart phones today even come with the ability to provide connectivity wherever you go, so as long as you have coverage for your phone, you'll be able to hook up your computer to the Internet, even if you are in the middle of the desert. Naturally, the most compelling reason to get a laptop today is that they are cheaper than ever. It wasn't too long ago that you could expect to pay upwards of one or two thousand dollars, but today they are much cheaper. You can get a pretty powerful machine for about four or five hundred dollars. And these are likely to satisfy whatever computing needs you have, with their high memory and processor speeds. Even if you need to do some processor intensive work, such as video editing, you won't have to pay too much more to upgrade to your specifications. No matter what you imagine yourself doing on your new laptop, now is the best time to get one. They are lighter and more compact than ever, you can hook up to the Internet pretty much anywhere you go, and they are cheaper than they've ever been. Once you start using it on a regular basis, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
