PDA vs Laptops

The marketplace for mobile devices  is always evolving.

PDA can now do a myriad of functions from email, web browsing,Wi-Fi, cameras, music, mobile
telephony, word processing, spreadsheets, GPS and many more

A PDA scores in these areas:

• The trend is towards smaller and smaller handheld gadgets.


• Its small size allowing you to carry it anywhere
  with convenience. You can just slip it in your pocket and when there is a need
  just pop it out and do your work or play. A typical PDA  weighs less than
  200 grams compared to an ultra -light notebook which weighs at least a
  kilogram.


• When you are out in the field for critical operations , the last thing you
  need is a laptop out of power. A normal laptop lasts the most 5 or 6 hours
  whereas some PDA accommodate AAA batteries which easily last for a month. You
  won't fall flat during critical operation.


•  A PDA is understandably cheaper than
  a laptop. A PDA can cost 500 dollars whereas Laptops can cost as much
  as $ 3,000. PDA software is also more affordable than Laptop software.

Of course, the laptop wins in several aspects.

• Typing or data entry is more difficult and slower with a pda compared with
  a larger keyboard for a laptop.


• The specs are more powerful .


• The processors , memory and storage are much better in a laptop enabling
  you to work with greater efficiency and speed. 


• It is easier to view your work on a much larger screen on a laptop.


• You can watch DVD movies, do video editing


• Even laptops are fighting off this new competition by becoming smaller and
  lighter.


• Lastly, you can do slideshow presentation with a laptop.

So, you need to weigh the cost and benefits of both laptops and PDA. For day
to day activities a PDA should work just fine!
