Laptop VS Desktop

 There was a time when there was no substitute for a desktop personal computer. However, with the advancement of technology laptops were introduced as a great substitute for desktop PC. Though it is true that a large number of people use laptops now days, it cannot be denied that desktop computers are still used in many homes and offices. In this article, we will discuss advantages and disadvantages of one over the other and vice versa.




Laptop computers are best for those people who need a computer with them for almost 24 hours a day. A desktop cannot be carried by an individual with him. A laptop requires very less space. While a desktop needs a large space as compared to a laptop. If your laptop has some problem, you can easily carry it in your hands to the service center. However, if a problem occurs in a desktop computer, it becomes really inconvenient to carry it to the service center. This is because C.P.U and desktop monitors are bulky.


However, we should not ignore that a desktop computer has several advantages over a laptop. First, unlike laptops, desktop computers are less expensive. Second, Desktop computers are not as sensitive as laptops. Even a slight shock can work disaster for a laptop. Third, the cost of servicing related with a desktop computer is always less than that of a laptop. For instance, if the keyboard of a computer stops working, you can purchase a new one. However, if the keypad of a laptop stops working, you will have to submit it to the authorized service center and pay a good amount of money to get it rectified.

 If you want to know whether your emails reach the recipients inbox , you will need to use a mail delivery tracking application. This software does several spam checks which is used by various email systems. When your email fails most of these checks, then it is time to find out where the problem is because only when your email pass the spam filters , it will reach the recipients' inbox. Spamming is today widely hated and hence, email service providers set their filters to highest possible level trying to prevent any kind of spam. While this is good for the recipients, many times the filter will disallow legitimate emails from being sent to the recipients.
