Buyers with limited budgets may choose to purchase less expensive
configurations (in particular, less RAM initially or smaller hard drive). In such
cases, an upgrade may be necessary during the life cycle of the desktop system to
ensure more years of useful life. Buyers with limited budgets may also choose to
trade off various components of a desktop system depending on specific needs: for
example, memory versus additional hard disk space versus a larger monitor. Remember,
it is easy to add additional memory or peripherals later, but some components (like
a smaller monitor) cannot be upgraded effectively.

Notebooks
Portable Computers have come a long way in the last few years.
Home users are increasingly turning to notebooks as First, second or third PCs for
the home. Notebooks can offer similar performance and features to those of a desktop

go find notebooks & portables a cost affective way to combine all their multimedia
devices into one.
