The Future of Portable Desktops

(Ed's Note: My son Andy has agreed to write a monthly article about computers for HBTA News . He is working for Dell computers while attending college and has offered to "hook up" HBTA News readers with special deals on Dell computers if they contact him. Both Joanie and I use Dells and they are great!)

The competition between notebooks and desktops has been irrelevant until recently when notebooks made the jump to high powered machines that can do just about anything a desktop can do. From highly skilled game play, video editing or just every day to day use, these little machines have stepped up to play with the big dogs of power and compatibility, but with one great advantage. They fit in the overhead compartment.

Recent upgrades and technological advances have made it possible to have a notebook as your one and only computer. With the use of a port replicator or docking station, you can plug a large 19" monitor and full size keyboard right into your notebook making it just like a standard desktop. You might wonder what the point of doing something like this would be, well have you ever spent hours moving data and files from your desktop to your notebook right before a big trip? Have you ever lost something in the transfer mania? Eliminate all that hassle by having only one main computer!

The idea of having just one notebook as your main computer isn't really that hard to conceive with all of the gizmos and gadgets we have today. Dell Computers has been on the technological edge with their high-powered notebooks that can do just about everything in a small, convenient package. Many individuals (both for work and play) have traded in their bulky desktops for the slim and tightly packaged computers of today. Starting off at around $1,600.00 dollars, Dell's XPS 1210 weighs only 4.37 pounds and has enough power and speed to rival some of the larger desktop towers that cast a shadow over this small 12-inch notebook. With a 2.0 GHZ processor and 2 Gigabytes of RAM, this diminutive little unit is ready to rock and roll with anything you throw at it. Just as powerful, the Dell E1405 starting off at $1,400.00, is just the right size for working on a flight or catching up on work in bed before you go to sleep.

Dell offers several different models that can be capable of traveling and business use and with their fully customizable line of notebooks and desktops, I’m sure we can get something that will fit your needs to the best possibility.  One of the major benefits of going with Dell is that you actually save money by keeping the things you don't need out, and only paying for the things that are really necessary for you. I know that the travel industry takes a lot out of you; believe it or not, traveling has been involved in my life since I was first born and I can tell you that having the right equipment for the job will only make your life easier on you.

Whether it's traveling from New York to LA, Texas to Europe or just to your local Starbucks on your day off. These new notebooks or portable desktops will help advance you into the future and help carry your business and work to a new level.
