Technology

Considering a new tablet, laptop or all-in-one this Christmas?

I have had several customers who want to replace an old computer but are unsure of what to buy; there are so many choices with new technology. The first question you should ask yourself is, what will I use my new device for and where will I use it?

Tablets are often used more for entertainment than tasks that involve much writing. They are:
• Light to carry around with you
• Very quick to turn on
• Great for quick internet browsing
• Not easy for typing more than the odd email (although some allow you to add an external keyboard)
• Use Apps rather than full programs

Laptops are extremely versatile and can be used for entertainment and working on. They are:
• Various sizes and, therefore, weights but smaller than a desktop and extremely portable
• Excellent for writing emails or filling in forms for your online shopping
• Usually have much better storage capacity than tablets
• Run full programs rather than apps, which have limited functionality
• Slower than a tablet to turn on

All-in-one computers have everything in the monitor – it’s just a screen, keyboard and mouse. They are very stylish but harder to upgrade than a conventional desktop computer.
Key points are:
• A large screen is why many people consider this device – it’s better for watching films and TV
• Great for graphics and photo editing
• Excellent storage capacity, although other options such as an external hard drive are an option for increasing storage space
• Is not portable

In response to customer enquiries I have decided to offer a free assessment of your existing device to any customer that uses my services for the installation and set up of its replacement –
I’ll look at your existing system and help you decide what you really need.

If you wish to discuss this further please don’t hesitate to call me – I’ll be happy to help.

Whatever you are doing this Christmas time, PC PAL wish all of our customers, existing and future, a Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
