Desktop or Laptop - Which is right for you?
Size, portability, power and price are things to consider when deciding between a Desktop PC or a Laptop PC. You'll need suitable desk space for a Desktop PC, which once installed is not very portable.
A laptop is completely portable. Many include wireless networking so you can even get online without plugging in any cables. All the things that need setting up to get a Desktop PC going - the monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard, and more, are integral to the laptop - just turn it on and you're in business!
However, a laptop PC has smaller components which cost more to make, so you have to spend a little more to get the same amount of memory and features an equivalent-priced Desktop PC offers.
PC World has great value Desktop PCs and a massive range of cheap Laptop computers all under one roof. See them at your nearest PC World or order online for a great Internet price - you could even Collect @ Store in as little as one hour!
Apple Mac or PC? Which one is right for you?
Similar to normal PCs, but not quite the same, some people prefer Apple Macintosh computers, but what's the difference between a Mac and a PC?
An Apple Mac is stylish, easy to use and will have you sending email and be looking after your music, pictures, and videos before you know it! A Mac is far less likely to suffer from viruses than a PC as well.
However, if someone in your family wants to play the latest games, and you want a great value home PC that closely resembles and is compatible with computers likely to be found in schools, colleges and offices, it's a PC you need.
Apple Macs run with a speed and efficiency that sometimes leaves Desktop PCs in the shade. Especially the Apple Mac Pro Quad-Core, one of the most powerful home computers available.
