How to Ditch a Desktop for a Laptop

Once you start to work on a laptop computer, you will be happy to ditch your desktop computer. Laptops are so mobile you can take them anywhere. You only have to worry about someone stealing them. All the things your desktop has, laptops have. You can get the right amount of memory, RAM and hard drive space.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Try a laptop computer. People are afraid of using laptops because they are so small. However, if you get the right one that will fulfill all your needs you will be happy to use it on a regular basis--and once you try one it will be hard going back to a desktop.
2. Look at the laptops that are on the market. You can talk to the salesperson to be sure you are getting the right laptop for you. Find out how much memory is on the laptop, how large the hard drive is and how much RAM the computer has. You should know what your requirements are before you start looking at laptops so you know what you want.
3. Check out the hardware the computer has. You need to be sure there are enough ports for all your needs, that there is a CD/DVD drive and that the monitor is large enough for you.
4. Decide if you want to have a numeric keypad on your keyboard--larger laptops do come with them, or you can buy a detachable keyboard and mouse. Many people don't want laptops because they feel they have to use the built in mouse, but you can hook up a mouse just as you would to a desktop computer.
