Substituting stationary for portability
How successfully have people been able to shift from desktop usage to netbook or any other portable form of computing? It has worked quite successfully. Tons of work applications are being sold for netbooks, profits are up, people are happy and satisfied, but here’s my view on whats missing.
Comfort is one key reason for buying desktop, storage would be the second and last but not the least, work friendly user interface. For a netbook, first of you need to install a hundred applications
(which would cost you more than 300 pounds) before you can properly use it for working environment - all that comes pre-installed in all PC’s. The comfort of sitting in a chair and working on a desktop cannot be compared to a small screen with you leaning over and squinting you eyes as well as multi-tasking on a tiny screen. The interface of a PC is well defined and flexible where as for a portable, even a mobile phone, you cannot put 2 explorers side by side and read or compare 2 documents with each other. You cannot save important files on desktop and easily access them when immediately needed - you’d have to hunt it out on a netbook. The limited storage of a netbook will force you carry extra storage devices with you wherever you go however, for stationary users, all they have to do is take relavent information on a pen drive and plug it into another nearby PC when needed. Thats, the whole point of staying stationary - to avoid constant movement.
So just in case you need to go to the auberge de jeunesse Amsterdam and stay there and move around for work reasons, all you need is a pen drive, then you can put that in to another PC there.
