Laptop or PC...hhmmm

I’ve always thought that getting a laptop was like a richer man getting a PC. In other words laptops have always been that little bit more luxurious than not using one. I don’t know why this is. It may be because laptops have always been a grand upwards from 5 years or so ago, and I always found them to be a lot more expensive they the same computer would have been in a PC. Of course things have changed drastically now and now they are in fact a lot cheaper than PCs in many cases, of course it really does depend on where you get them from. I have often got mine from high street shops and paid a lot more than I should have. Going to smaller independent shops means that you will often get about 20 percent of even more of your laptop.

I would suggest that you look in as many places as possible for your laptop, and when you find the one that is right for you, try to see if you can haggle them down. This is another bonus with small more independent shops; the people who serve you often have more control over what price they can offer you. I have often got up to 30% of the price that they have offered my on laptops, however this has been on very specific products, and I would say that getting anything over 20% of is a great deal that you should be proud of. Get friends to look around for you too, the great things is that they may look in different places to you, and may look for cheap laptops in different resources; they can be very handy because you can get different prices and cheaper laptops from different places!

I am not sure what you should get, if you are thinking about getting either a laptop of a PC. Really the decision ends with you, and you should know that only you know what you will really need, and what will be super useful for you. If you are someone that works from home you may benefit from having a desktop PC, you can often get desktop PCs for a better price, and it is often easier to upgrade them, when you want to. However upgrades a laptops components can be a lot more expensive and can also be a lot harder to do. Think about these things when you are thinking about what you would like to get, and you will always be fine getting your new computer.
