Is Laptop Computer Going To Kill Desktop Computer?
We buy laptop computer because of the main reason is its mobility, as I can be transported anywhere and wifi internet connection can be connected to the internet and the kind of specifications we are seeing notebooks coming with you can handle mission critical applications on it easily.
Gamers use to prefer desktop computer until recent times but with again now a days most of the PC manufacturers are coming up laptops with specifications keeping gamers in mind. Dell’s Alienware has some awesome gaming laptops with superb multimedia effect and large display screen.
In last couple of years cost wise also laptop computers have outshine desktop computers, although desktop computers are still cheaper than laptop but the who PC price has come down so much that owning a laptop has become very easy, you can have very high end laptop computer with lets say Intel Core 2 Duro 3.0 Ghz processor speed, 3-4 GB of Ram, up-to 500 GB Hard Drive with all multimedia accessories and large display for as much as $1500 on the other hand if you go for desktop of similar configuration it might cost you around $1000, so as I mentioned earlier desktop’s are still cheaper than laptop but generally the price of PC has come down significantly , you wouldn’t mind owning a laptop with such massive configuration for $1500.
If you don’t want to go for such high configuration as everyone wouldn’t need such high end computer, then price of owning a notebook computer can significantly come down, with the introduction of Netbook with Atom processor, you can own a very thin, light weight ultraportable laptop with Intel Atom processor 1.0 Ghz, 1 GB Ram, 200 GB Hard Disk, 12” Display for as much as $300 which is awesome.
No one could’ve imagined of owning such good featured laptop computer at such low cost, at present Netbooks are limited to light usage because Atom processors are not very powerful, but I can see that in next 3-5 years, you will have a laptop or netbook computer with as high specification as you can think of at very moderate price and size wise it will easily slip into your pocket.
I see that in coming 10 years time, computer hardware industry will completely change, as desktop computers will slowly vanish or come down very limited use i.e. server usage or mainframe computing.

Dell Computer Parts For Sale
Dude I'm Selling a Dell
Frequently Asked Questions...
My friend's Dell Inspiron 1150 2004 laptop's mobo is dead. Replacement?
He never told me what was wrong with it, but did say it's irreparable (I'm inclined to believe him as he's pretty computer savvy). Of course, Dell makes all their parts custom (or so I've heard) making it near impossible to find a compatible mobo. Get this, the idiots at Dell won't even sell him a new one! They say it's company policy! He has to buy a new computer...I'm guessing they tried to redirect his call to sales.
Anyway, is there anyway, other than ebay, to find a replacement motherboard for this comuter?
Dude, don't buy a Dell.
Answer:
You can buy a mobo from Dell!! I have the same computer and also bough it in 2004. If you buy it from Dell it will cost between $400 and $500, it's not worth it. It's better to buy a new laptop.
I looked on ebay, amazon, and even google. I found few ones but the price was also around $500. On ebay there was few mobos for $200-250.
I am still looking for something cheaper...
