Future of the Laptop

The definition of the laptop is getting a bit murky. Before, the type of factors that people had to consider were size, graphics, and the processor. These days computers are products that can be either a tablet or a laptop based on their configurations. There are over a couple of dozen to choose from now, but at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in early January, there will be at least 50 products introduced under this branding campaign. Some will be as low as $299, but most quality two-in-ones will start at around $499 and go up to as high as $1299 depending on the configuration. These laptops will also be greatly integrated with communication services such as internet phones and social media. If you are thinking of buying a new Windows laptop this holiday, I suggest you consider one of these two-in-ones or convertibles. If you are buying a traditional laptop and, like most, expect to use it for at least three to four years, products like these give you perhaps a more future-proofed design. With add-ons, they can actually stay more up-to-date over this time frame. Are you thinking of getting a new laptop this season? As far as operating systems go, if you are getting a new computer, Windows 8 is better for touch screens than the traditional laptops.
