Do You Blog With Portable Devices Or Desktop?
A Little Bit of History A lot of times, people find it difficult to decide between a laptop and a desktop.
If you rewind to 10 years or 20 years ago, there was a huge difference on the price between a laptop and a desktop.
In addition, the specifications for a laptop were much lower than a desktop even though the price was higher.
Technology has improved tremendously.
Laptops are cheaper but with higher specifications, portability and more functionality.
Getting a laptop with the specifications to play games is common where else in the past, laptops can only be used for document processing.
Desktop or portable device? I mention portable device here because once a while, I blogged using Nokia E61 before it went sick.
Portable devices for blogging are not restricted to laptops only because a lot of PDAs and mobile phones are built-in with QWERTY keyboards.
Personally, I like to blog using laptops.
Desktop Desktop is easier to repair and it is considered to be an all in one entertainment system nowadays because you can play games, do your work, browse online, listen to music, watch movies and etc.
You can have the widest screen that you ever wanted or hook it up to your television for better resolutions.
It is ideal for blogging because you can view almost anything on the screen and navigation within operating system is normally smoother.
Blogging does not use much of the system resources but if you require the system to response faster, upgrades are also available and you can do them yourself too.
However, you are not able to take it anywhere you go because it is not designed to be portable but performance.
Laptop I have been looking for a laptop myself and yet to decide on the brand or model.
Asus EEE is attractive because of its portability but the hard disk space is limited to a maximum of 8GB because of the SSD technology.
In addition, a 7" screen is quite small.
However, it is ideal for blogging because it is small and lightweight.
Carrying a laptop around is excellent because you can blog almost anywhere you want.
Most of the laptops specifications include Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity.
Thus, there is always a way to connect to the internet.
The battery life seems to a problem for laptops and it is always wise to purchase an extra battery to increase the usage time.
PDAs and Mobile Phones These devices' battery life lasts longer than laptops.
Typing maybe difficult but you do not have to wait for it to reboot or the loading of operating system.
Just press unlock and run the word document and you can start typing.
Copy and paste is the same as you would do with computer.
They do not take much space even though they are considered to be huge if compared to normal mobile phones but they are very much smaller compared to laptops.
Verdict I have all three tools; a desktop, a laptop and a mobile phone with QWERTY keyboard.
90% of my blog posts come from the desktop while another 10% comes from Mee's laptop and Nokia E61.
However, Mee's laptop's battery is damaged and it needs to be connected to the power source while Nokia E61 is sick.
Thus, I am depending on my desktop at the moment.
Still, I enjoy blogging with laptop and Nokia E61 because I can concentrate better.
Whenever I think of anything or any topic, I can type it into Nokia E61 even though I do not have post it immediately.
At least, I am able to record it so that I will not lose it.
