The Advantages of Using PC desktops

By Terri Moss

These days, computers have been very in demand and are being used in our daily transactions. May it be for work, student research or even purchasing, a computer has been a very helpful tool for us to utilize. And with every development, computers offer more benefits for us as time passes by.

However, there has always been a question among us whether to buy laptops or PC desktops. Many would choose laptops because of their portability while working the same way as desktops. However, getting a desktop computer has numerous benefits.

For starters, PC desktops are usually more reliable than laptops because they have been around longer. Also making components small and compact to fit into a laptop is harder to do while still maintaining functionality. These smaller components often cause problems that aren't associated with the larger components of a desktop computer.

Next, there is no real limit to the amount of work you can do on PC desktops. If you need to work all through the night, it can be done. A laptop, on the other hand, isn't really made for that kind of use and can overheat. And that could lead to system crashes or sending the computer in to be fixed instead of getting your work done.

Another advantage of PC desktops is the ability to utilize additional hardware. Information can be synchronized with a PC desktop's CPU, hard drive and memory. Though it's possible to hook up external hardware to a laptop, the extra memory can overwork the laptop and cause problems discusses above.

With the added slots for new components and memory cards that PC desktops come equipped with, it is easier to upgrade a PC. Two hard drives can work as one by using RAID configuration and controller, or with the addition of high end sound and video cards a desktop computer becomes a great gaming system. With lower functionality, laptops are not this easy to customize.

The tower that accompanies a PC desktop can also be customized to better suit an individual's personality. Color can be added to fit the scheme of a room or a more basic black case can be enhanced with colorful LED lights.

There are many benefits to owning a desktop computer besides the ones listed. But rest assured you will have a reliable system that can be trusted to perform for many years and upgraded at any time. - 30432
