Laptop or Desktop? [Uk Only]

I am finding it harder and harder these days to justify using a desktop computer. A few years ago laptops couldn't compete. They were low spec and high priced. But times have changed. If you are thinking about buying a laptop or replacing your desktop, have a look at this spec for a LAPTOP made by Medion which is going to be available in local ALDI stores on 9th August. [If you want one, I would get there early. These sort of offers sell out very quickly]
  • Intel pentium dual core processor. (Means you can get your computer to multi-task more easily)
  • 15.4" TFT Widescreen Display. This is a cinema style format which gives you more desktop space and is optimised for DVD playback.
  • 2,048MB DDR 11 Ram. Plenty memory to run Vista
  • Vista Home Premium - The new operating system takes over from XP
  • Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 - better entertainment.
  • Re-writable multi function DVD - plays and burns DVDs
  • Wireless lan, Ethernet and V.90 modem. Every way possible to connect to Broadband and the internet. (Your network too if you have one)
  • Built in webcam (I think this is fantastic). The web is moving to video and having the webcam built in is great.
  • 2 Multi-media speakers AND 6 Channel audio out which means that you can connect it to surround sound.
  • 4 in 1 memory card reader
  • Topped off by a massive 120 GB Hard Disk
AND Software which includes Microsoft Works 8.5 and Nero Essentials
How much does all this cost? - I thought you would never ask.
£459.99 inc VAT

Computer Security

How secure is your computer? I don't mean could someone steal it (though, of course, that would be a disaster for many of us). No what I mean is, could someone easily hack into it and what would be the consequences? If you only have a domestic computer and don't use it for banking then you may not be too worried. But if you use your computer at work and it is on a wireless network, here is something to think about. Unless you have something stronger than the normal passworded set-up, wireless networks are relatively easy to hack. What would be the consequences? Well, at best, you might lose some confidential files. At worst, someone could access your banking, accounts and personnel records. Still not worried? Then think about this. I am told that with the recent successes that the police have had targeting paedophiles, those same paedophiles are starting to adopt preventative measures. One of their tricks is to hack into poorly protected computer networks. They can then use you...
