In this season of giving, you may be manipulated by advertising into believing that only good things come in small packages. It doesn’t matter which technology. Whether it be smaller cell phones or thiner televisions. The trend in consumer technology over that last few years has been that only smaller is better. Despite, the gain in performance, the benefits of miniaturized electronic devices may be outweighed with some of the challenges they provide.
This Christmas or boxing day if you’re thinking about purchasing a laptop because of its size and mobility, then perhaps you should also consider the more than the price. We know that shopping for a new laptop can be an often arduous task of comparing storage, memory, processing power and features.
Laptops provide Challenges with Power and Ports
It may be common sense, but when you purchase a laptop you should consider your requirements 3 or more years down the line. Not all laptops include the ports you depend on. Many modern laptops, only have Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C ports. Size matters, especially when it comes to video display. Although a larger laptop display may enable a more expansive and often better viewing experience, it also cuts into the portability factor. Another issue is the laptop’s typical level of performance power.
