Advantages: Portability , and The size of laptop Disadvantages: The heat that it puts out while in use on your lap
I own an Acer 4520 laptop I bought it last year for the whole family beacuse the desktop was too big , bulky , in the way , and was very old. The Acer laptop is easier beacuse of the portability , it is not too big nor too heavy for your lap , you can add a external mouse and a printer , so why would you need a desktop. The functions are very user friendly , virtually any age from young to old can use this model. I make CDs with pictures on them ... ...when my sister comes over she uses it , my son's use it for school work also to go on Ebay. I would recomend this laptop for families where all members need the use of a computer. A big advantage is the use of a router because you are more mobil. This laptop features gadgets on the side of the desktop they let you place the weather , time , date , a sticky note , and many others. This is a handy feature when you have family in other states. ...
