In his article on " Laptop or desktop? ", Naomi Rocker-Gladen , published in collegeuniversity.suite101.com, on Mar7, 2007, makes a comparison to a college or university students between Laptop computer or desktop PC. He mentions that the advantages and disadvantages for each to let us decide and take a right decision . One of the most advantage of Laptop computer is portable, and this means that easy to take it with you to wherever you want and you will be able to write your notes during the class. In addition , it has less space and easily wireless. On other hand, he mentions varity of advantage of Desktop PC. For example, cheaper , easier to fix, reliable and better for our eyes , hands and backs especially for students who spend a long time on PC. I think that he points out to an important points, yet some of these may not important for certain students but in the same time it is considerable for others, I means that it depends on their needs.
