Lap Top Computers
I think lap top computers are some of the coolest inventions since sliced bread and penicillin. How can you not like the idea of a computer in your lap?
While I don't think they'll ever replace desktops, they make for a great compliment to a desktop based office and give you loads of flexibility, freedom, and convenience.
At first, the idea of a lap top computer was a novelty and worthy of some interest. But in the face of high prices, poor performance and loads of bugs I wasn't all that excited about the first waves of lap top computers. It wasn't until fairly recently with the release of wireless internet technology that lap top computers have really begun to shine and realize their full potential. Being able to hop on the internet while sitting at a coffee shop or restaurant is great, and I bring my lap top computer with me everywhere these days.
I've been using a Toshiba Satellite model of lap top computer now for several years, and I've been very happy with them. When they first came out, the whole idea of a wireless lap top computer was new, but of course now it's pretty much an accepted standard. However, the Toshiba Satellites have been around for a little while now and have come pretty close to perfecting the concept of wireless capable lap top computers over the years. At the very least, they've been improving a lot.
Toshiba Satellites are also fairly high performance lap top computers overall, so you get more than just a lap top that can get you on the internet or reading your email. The new and current Toshiba Satellites are always pretty much packed with state of the art technology, and are very good general purpose lap top computers.
Of course, I prefer to buy the model of lap top computer that was state of the art just last year. Generally, these slightly older models are much less expensive and yet are almost as good as the newest ones. There are a lot of other great lap top computers out there as well, but I'm just one of those brand loyal people.
Lap top computers are getting smaller and lighter all the time, yet are being packed with more and more powerful chips and hardware. I have to admit, the newest lap top computers have me a little baffled. The P4 chip in my desktop has a heat sync the size of a tennis ball and an equally large cooling fan hooked onto it as well. How do lap top computers manage to stay cool? I'm always waiting for my lap top computer to suddenly burst into flames and turn into a molten pile of plastic. Not happened yet, thank goodness.
