Affordable Laptops - article about Affordable Laptops

The other day, I was looking through the classifieds section of the newspaper for some affordable laptops and I was shocked by how much the prices have dropped in recent times! I mean, just over a year ago, when I decided to go out shopping for a laptop, it cost me an arm and a leg. So much so that I abandoned all hope of ever finding affordable laptops (from a good brand that is) and began using the trusty old desktop at home.

Of course the rise of affordable laptops also has a lot to do with the falling of various computer part prices. Hard disks are a lot cheaper than ever before as is memory. RAM is much more rational and today, for an earlier price that could get you barely 256 Mb of processing speed, you can get 1Gb or more. All of these have had a role to play in making affordable laptops a reality. But if there is any one thing that has contributed the most to affordable laptops (in my estimation of course) it would be the revolution that has taken the modern enterprise by storm.

I am referring to the concept of mobile offices. Ever since large scale enterprises realized that fixed costs like infrastructure and rents have been spiraling upwards with no downturn in sight, they have been exploring ways in which to reduce the dependency on these costs. The first trend that emerged was flexible hours. But nowadays, telecommuting is the norm. And rather than look at the company for the provision of a laptop, most individuals prefer to have one well within reach to give them the kind of mobility that they seek. And this is why affordable laptops have had to become a reality.
