Dell - Notebook computer buying guide. That's why we've put together this informative look at notebook buying - from understanding what your new notebook will be used for to understanding all the terms and features that go along with the evaluation and buying process.

Desktops are not. And if you will need access to a powerful computer when you are on the go then you definitely should buy a notebook. In general, you can expect to pay more for a notebook than for a comparable desktop. But with the ability to have your computer with you, no matter where you are, the extra investment may pay off in convenience and benefits. As a rule, notebook PCs can be difficult to upgrade, so be certain that if you decide on a notebook, you purchase one with all of the features you think will be needed.
