The RAM is there but no hdd anywhere on the back, I searched on youtube and you need to un-screw the whole back off.

What's the manufacture and model of your laptop? I can look it up for you.
 
Manufacture: Acer
Model: v5-571P
Type: Notebook/Ultra-Book

Thanks 😉
 
Don't know whats good about desktops to be honest these days besides power. I would like to sit in the one place all day and not being able to portably take it anywhere only my opinion.

I carn't tell the power difference between a desktop and laptop ultrabook with the processing power.
 
On the NHS website it states that 'laptops are being blamed for the rise in back, neck and shoulder problems'.

Almost 215,000 workers suffered upper limb disorders according to the 2008/09 Labour Force Survey and they think that it is the increase in laptop popularity that may be adding to the problem.

I think desktops are more ergonomically design which means they are designed better for comfort which give the user maximum comfort, so they don't get back pain, carpel tunnel syndrome, stiff neck, and other health problems as often as laptop users.

You can easily adjust a desktop monitor's height, and angle, so you are not looking up, or looking down too much like laptops which can cause neck and back pain.

The size of a full size keyboard on a desktop is also more comfortable to type on because it is easy to adjust the height and position for maximum comfort.

Plus, more people buy better chairs and tables for desktop PCs which are more comfortable to sit on compared to laptop users which may sit on a stool, or small chair hunch over on a small table.
 
You can also connect a laptop to a desktop monitor this is what I am doing with my system instead of using the screen.
 
Desktop or Laptop, each have both their pros and cons and depend greatly on the work before you. If you're a person on the move the laptop will be very handy but if you are a stationed in a fixed place then a Desktop would do. Me basically I prefer a Desktop because a laptop can be additive sometimes as oppose to the Desktop Computer
 
I'm going to say laptop for ease of transportation, and I don't have to sit at my desk to be on the computer. I can sit comfortably at my couch and watch TV as well while I'm tiddling on the computer. However, I do have a desktop and that is more for gaming.
 
I wouldn't like to sit at a desk all the time thats my personal prefernce.

What is the diffrence beetween a ultra-think and laptop? acer gatorized my machine as A ultra book but all it is, Is a flat screen laptop.
 
I prefer laptops, myself. Sure, they're not as powerful as desktops, but I move around a lot. I can't exactly carry a desktop with me wherever I go. >_>
 
My laptop seems to be just as powerful last night I had 12 pages open since I was in a hurry to get the job done and it never lagged once. Intel i3 or 5 I think it is.
 
Well, desktops generally offer a greater price/power ratio. Laptops are also less capable of being modified so upgrading is a more expensive task.
 
how many can A powerful desktop hold? I test it on my system.

How many*

That's not the point - I can run up to 45 on my dual core i5 MacBook Pro, with a VM open, consuming a minimum 4GB RAM at a time.
 
corrected the above post.

For some reason the iphone only as a limit of 8 tabs thought I mention it.
 
In safari, yes. On my iPhone presently using Chrome. 30 tabs open.
 
Haven't tested on other browser as I haven't used apple in a while. moved to android.
 
Also yeah, 12 pages isn't much really. I generally run my laptop with both Firefox and Chrome open, 20+ tabs on each. Steam, YIM, media player, and usually some form of design program running too.
