  2. I have seen petlny of useful items on your web site 10 world most Beautiful Places about desktops. However, I’ve got the view that laptops are still not nearly powerful sufficiently to be a good option if you usually do jobs that require petlny of power, for example video croping and editing. But for world wide web surfing, word processing, and quite a few other typical computer work they are just fine, provided you can’t mind the screen size. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
