Computer users have a decision to make when they are ready to purchase a new one. They weigh the benefits and disadvantages of purchasing either one before they move forward. Obviously, it is a good idea to do some research before you make your decision.

Laptop
* portable
* lightweight
* can be used at multiple locations
* can be more susceptible to theft and damage

Desktop
* stationary
* heavy
* can only be used at home
* can have more hard drive space and programs

Even though laptops have some drawbacks, they can be taken care of with laptop insurance. For instance, you will be protected for accidental damage, liquid damage and theft. A few pounds per month is all you need to enjoy these benefits. If you were ever to become a victim of one of these events, then you would simply pay the small excess fee to get your laptop replacement.
