Why You Don’t Need A Laptop

laptop 300x174 Why You Dont Need A LaptopIs a laptop better than a desk top
why would i buy a desktop thats in one spot all the time ?
Naturally, a desktop computer is more powerful, expandable, and cheaper than a laptop. But you can’t take carry it around with you, because the leads wont reach and its rather heavy

On the other hand, you could be sitting in a pub garden or a trendy coffee shop,having a drink while pouring over your e-mail and chatting on a mobile phone – now that’s the way to go.

Why you need a laptop
Basically you want a laptop for one of the following reasons:

As your main computer

Why bother about saving money with a desktop when you really want the portability of a laptop?
A desktop computer can’t pretend to be a laptop, but a laptop can certainly pretend being a desktop: You can use a full-sized keyboard and monitor with your laptop. You can also connect any number of desktop peripherals such as a printer, scanner, external hard drive, and so on. But, unlike a desktop system, you’re free to disconnect the laptop and take it with you whenever you want.

As a space-saving computer system;

Unlike desktops, you don’t need to have a set place for your laptop computer – that is, you don’t need a computer desk. If space is tight in your house, flat, or collage room, keep the laptop on the shelf or in a drawer. Then set it up on the kitchen table or coffee table when you’re ready to work. Forget about the constant mess and clutter that orbits the typical desktop computer station!

As a second computer;

Why buy a second desktop computer when you can get a laptop and enjoy not only the presence of a second computer but the ability to make that computer system portable? Further, you can network the two computers together, letting them share an Internet connection, printers, data, and files. But you still have the luxury of having one portable system.

As your on-the-road computer;

Laptops let you take your work on the road great for the salesman,delivery driver,courier. After a few moments of synch (transferring current files between your desktop and laptop), you’re off and running to anywhere you like (though being in direct, bright daylight can make it difficult to see the laptop screen).
When you return from your trip, just perform another synch, and you catch up both computers for the day.
A laptop can give you the freedom to take your work with you:
� Laptops let you escape the confines of your office and do work anywhere you like for a few hours. Or if you have power at your location, you can plug in and work all day.

� The laptop lets you take your work with you when you travel.as most motels/hotels have wifi connections

Why you don’t need a laptop
Laptops aren’t cheap. They’re also expensive to fix. They can easily get stolen. The battery life never lives up to the printed specifications. You may find getting work done on a jet or in a caf� really difficult because people either look over your shoulder or ask you questions about the laptop. Ack! But you may think that those minor quibbles don’t outweigh the benefits of owning a laptop.

The Necessity Of Business School

teacher 225x300 The Necessity Of Business School School in general has become a much more expected and in my opinioned marketed thing than it was in the past. So it is no surprise that the question of the necessity of business school come up fairly regularly. What does surprise me is that people that are business minded are so easily swayed into believing that formal training in business (the quality of which I often question) is necessary to make it in the fast pace business that comes with a globalizing market and the information age that we live in. The question remains, however, and I want to point out two things that will hopefully answer it. They are myths of business school that are often cited but have little evidence to back them up.

The first is that you receive an education in business school that will prepare you for the real world. It is my contention however that you really don’t learn the bulk of what it takes to thrive in business sitting in a classroom listening to the lecture. What you do learn is the language of business so that you may pick things up faster but is learning the language faster a justification for the time and expense of formal training. I will admit that most people that go through business school have an easy transition into the real world but my contention is still that this is no because they sat through class. The way business schools have gotten away with this is that they require their students to do internships.

This really is a fleecing when you consider that these students are actually out in the real world getting their education, paid horribly, and then paying the institution that requires this slave labor and is taking credit for the education ungodly amounts of money. It cracks me up that the most common complaint especially for those who want to start their own business that they don’t have the capitol. I say, you had the capitol, you just gave it away!

The second myth is that business school is a good training for every type of business and every position within those businesses. My contention is that business school is only smart for those who want to become a CEO of a major company. This is only because of the connections that you gain in business school, that land you the high profile internships, which get you in contact with the right people etc. If you want to run a small business with a unique product I would suggest that you spend more time developing your product and less time wasted in school. You will gain the business savvy in a few years once you are up and running any way and you won’t have wasted a lot of time and money. My number one example of this is Bill Gates, a fine businessman, one of the richest men in the world, and yet does not have a college degree to his name. Chew on that for a while and maybe you will change your mind.
