Which Is Better, Notebook Or Desktop?
Irrespective of whichever argument is put in favor of one device against the other, there can be no getting away from the salient point that the notebook and the desktop versions have their specific uses. If there is one realization which strikes home from the Gartner research reported by News.com, it is that PC manufacturers face ever increasing challenges in their efforts to fit ever more features in increasingly smaller devices. 'There has been a 25 percent decrease in annual failure rates for PC hardware over the last two years, the research firm said in a report published last week. It also found that notebooks have seen a significant improvement, even if they haven't caught up in reliability with desktops. A hardware failure was considered by Gartner researchers to be any problem that meant a hardware component would have to be replaced, whether a broken latch or a motherboard meltdown.'
