| Selecting the right type of computer depends on a variety of considerations and are heavily dependent on the user's needs. Portable computers such as the laptop trade computing power for portability. A desktop computer is of little use when traveling. Generally, the smaller the computer the more dependent it is on external resources, such as cloud computing and externally hosted processing and storage power. Operational time for smaller computers tends to correspond to the battery lifetime. Generally larger computers can carry larger batteries or are designed to operate from an outlet. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
