The Convenience of Notebook Computers

By Matthew Kerridge

With everyone on the go these days it is no wonder that notebook computers are becoming more popular. As technology advances and more features are being included in notebook computers, people are starting to shift their computing work from a desktop to a notebook. As the desktop computer becomes more obsolete, the notebook is emerging as the tool of choice for business professionals all over the world.

The features on notebook computers are starting to make desktop computers obsolete in the business world. With a notebook you can create a report, burn it to a CD for use later and then email it to anyone anywhere in the world. The flexibility is powerful and it is helping business to expand. With monitor sizes increasing and the weight of the notebooks decreasing, it is easy to see why people prefer to carry their notebook with them rather than relying on a desktop.

The communication sector is expanding at a tremendous rate thanks to the surge in popularity of the notebook computer. Not only are cellular towers being put up at a record rate, but the creation of a 3G and 4G network to increase Internet speed to notebooks has added a new dimension to notebook computing. Today you can purchase a notebook computer that has additional 3G or 4G service added to it which allows you to be on the Internet even when there is no high-speed Internet service available.

There are other parts of the computer industry that are benefiting from the rise of the notebook computer. Peripheral companies are making more external hard drives and USB drives than ever before to help people transfer their information from their desktop to their notebook computer.

The anchor of the desktop computer has been lifted, and the personal computer user can now go mobile and keep up on their daily computing tasks. Cellular phone manufacturers are starting to create mini-notebooks and people are carrying their regular notebook computers as much as they carry their purse or their wallet. When something becomes a part of the daily lives of so many people, it is only a matter of time before people begin to rely on it like they rely on their car or their wristwatch.

The mobility of notebook computers created a need for wireless high-speed Internet access and that was answered with Wi-Fi. When Wi-Fi was first introduced it was a premium service offered in select locations. As times changed, Wi-Fi became a standard offering for many hotels and resorts in the world. There are even some providers looking to wire entire cities with free high-speed Internet access.

Technology tends to take unexpected twists and turns as it continues to evolve, but it is not difficult to see that notebook computers are on their way to becoming a mainstay in business and in society. As the market expands and customer needs increase, technology companies will continue to develop more products and services to appeal to the notebook computer using crowd. The future of notebook computing will be entangled with the success of many technology companies in the coming years. - 31403
