Windows Mobility Center- a very useful (albeit optional) tool for laptops, but on desktops running Windows 7 or Vista it just wastes system resources and occupies the +[X] key combination that could be used for other functions or applications.

It so happened that for the last 9 years I have been using only laptops for my work. I feel comfortable working for them. Conveniently, I can take my laptop with me on almost any trip, use it at home and at work. I can bring guests, show photos from my personal archive, demonstrate the work of a particular program.

The laptop allows you to work almost always and everywhere. Except in the most extreme situations, such as in extreme heat, or in heavy rain. Although for such cases there are special secure computers that are produced by some companies, such as Panasonic and GETAC.

As you can understand, a laptop is a universal tool. Of course, one can argue that laptops are not suitable for complete replacement gaming computers or specialized workstations. But such devices are a special case of using a computer. The former are needed mainly by hardcore gamers or tech geeks who want to put the most modern hardware on their computer, the latter are designed to solve highly specialized tasks, such as processing vector and raster graphics, video editing and so on.

Overwhelmingly, today's computers have already reached such a performance that they can in no way speed up labor productivity: the most powerful processor will not help the user to type text faster on the keyboard, the most modern video card from the latest innovations will not show the desktop more beautifully than a graphics card released last year can.

Very often, home computers are used as an entertainment center: "surfing" on the Internet, listening to music, watching movies, simple arcade (so-called casual) games. In order to cope with such tasks, a computer of the most entry-level will do.

Manufacturers of computer equipment, of course, drew attention to this state of affairs, and began to offer appropriate equipment, for example Intel introduced the Atom platform, which is used with success in the smallest portable computers, also known as netbooks.

The huge success of these very netbooks, the release of which even the most eminent manufacturers have recently launched, has allowed portable computers to overtake desktop computers in sales.

Plus, laptop can be used as a completely independent device, that is, it will work without external power supply, without a mouse, and takes up much less space on the desktop. I will add that often the purchase of a laptop is simply because it is fashionable. It is fashionable to have a modern gadget. Many such devices, even from different manufacturers, often differ only appearance. In addition, the cost simple laptop quite comparable to the cost of a not very powerful desktop computer.

Thus, the general trend towards "mobilization" of the computer user makes one wonder what conveniences operating system help us to use mobile computers both at home and on the go.
