Desktop computers are cheaper than laptops at the time of purchasing as well as repairing. Despite the fact that both notebook and desktop prices have decreased, you will still get a better desktop for less money than a notebook. Basic reason of being mobile devices expensive is that they are smaller and portable. Engineering is required to maintain your laptop, tablet or smart phone. Desktop components don’t have to be nearly as small or fit together like jigsaw pieces, because a roomy desktop tower is a heck of a lot larger than even the most generously sized laptop. A desktop computer tends to be cheaper than a laptop/tablet computer of similar specification. Desktop have more storage, more memory, more GHz and better longevity at a lower cost. Laptops usually cost at least $60 more than corresponding desktops. Rising technology makes new tools and services more affordable and allows companies to save on their staff payroll and office equipment. Because computers allow work to be done faster and more efficiently, it is possible for a company to hire fewer staff. In networked and relatively inexpensive computers, companies can store data more easily, saving on the cost of outside file storage, and can avoid having to purchase as many copiers, fax machines, typewriters, and other such items that were used before computers became popular. Potentially profitable businesses can be started with a smaller overhead cost. Email capabilities decrease postage cost, software applications reduce the need for large accounting departments, while videoconferencing reduces the need for travel. All resources saved will trickle down to the consumers, who are then provided with much more affordable products and service.
