Why adult webmasters need laptop?

Posted by MMagery on Saturday Jan 10, 2009

Let me explain you what are benefits of laptops for adult webmasters. There are quite few but most important part of whole story is to get more time for productive work (like uploading files or submitting galleries with Chameleon Submitter). We found 8 good reasons why (if you know something else please write them here), so let’s start…

1. Stable configuration

Most laptops you can buy today are brand name, they are tested and mostly they work well for quite long periods. When you buy desktop computer in parts you need somebody with knowledge to put them together and after that there are chances that some compontents won’t work together. Brand name laptops usually have guarantee 2 or 3 years and for example HP, Toshiba and many others have support and guratantee available worldwide. Basically this allows you not to worry about hardware and technical stuff.

2. Integrated UPS

When you’re not on the road with laptop its battery is basically UPS for you. UPS which can provide you 2-3 hours of power. This feature is definitely not something to ignore. The thing is if you’re out of power your phone line isn’t (in case you have adsl router you’ll need mobile backup connection or switch to dailup modem connection) and you can keep working. You’ll definitely see how this is worth once you have something urgent to do but you can’t because they was power failure. Not to mention possible data loss and inability to use things like RAM disk due to same reasons (data loss).

3. Mobility

This is feature is pretty obvious but let me explain couple things. With laptop you’re not limited to 1 location, even if you’re not traveling anywhere you can go to other room or place where you’ll be more creative. With mobile Internet connection your working place is just limited with availability of mobile signal (of WiFi signal).

4. Data safety

Most of bussiness class laptops offer some utilites for data / disk encryption. There are software utilities for this functionality too, but those laptops have hardware which supports it and does not depend on CPU.

5. Faster operating system restore

Laptops usually come with preinstalled operating system like Windows XP or Vista. They have restore CD or DVD which allows you to restore system in case of problems or failure. In case you have separate external hard disk for your data OS restoring takes about 30 minutes in total with installation of all software tools you need. With desktop computers you would have to install OS, make restore CD yourself and test it.

6. Less noise

Desktop computers tend to make a lot of noise which can be irritating and can make you less creative. Webmastering (except video editing) is not load intensive so your main CPU fan on laptop will be mostly off.

7. Possibility to extend your desktop

All laptops allready have display and buying additional external (normal) monitor can be used for extending your work space, allowing you to have more tools open and working with. With additional monitor you can transform your laptop in normal desktop computer with big screen, normal keyboard and mouse. However all benefits listed above will still be here.

8. Power and space saving

If you’re hard working and have your fast big desktop computer turned on whole day you will have power costs which aren’t insignificant anymore. Specially during summer when they will make your working premises hotter. Laptops save space and do not need special furniture to place them. You definitely won’t place them on your floor (some people place their tower cases on floor which causes faster dust collection and possible overheating problems unless they clean them on regular basis). Mentioned overheating problem can cause hard disk failure and data loss. There are insignificant chances to get overheating problems with laptops.

Some of you could be worried about lower laptop performance. Well for webmastering Intel Core2Duos (event normal Core Duos) with clock 1.6Ghz - 2.0Ghz and 2GB ram will be definitely enough for 99% of all tasks you will be doing. Considering todays prices and how many good laptop brands are out there it’s pitty not to have all that benefits. Now check Chameleon Submitter tool, get yourself a laptop and start making some money!
