Embracing Computing Mobility in All Forms
|
Area-Wide Technologies customers began embracing the potential for mobile computing almost immediately; in fact, clients whose laptops were mandatory luggage during all trips away from the office are now migrating in droves to the computing power of smaller computing devices such as so-called "netbooks" and the increasingly potent computing power of smart phones.
The technology-literate across America, in fact, are abandoning traditional desktop workstations in record numbers every year; indeed, the computer industry now generates more revenue annually from the sale of mobile technology such as notebooks and netbooks than from the sale of conventional workstation computers.

» When will I know it's time for me to get a laptop?
To be sure, the computing power of mobile devices has grown almost exponentially over the past five years, and functionality once considered impossible is now taken for granted by mobile users across the country. Predictably, prices, too, for mobile technology have begun to decline, making a notebook or netbook a very tempting alternative for a growing number of business professionals.
Ultimately, only you know your company well enough to know whether a laptop represents a worthwhile expenditure. (Of course, longer battery lives and docking stations mean your laptop can also be used as your primary business workstation as well.) Area-Wide can provide you with the information, guidance, and pricing you need to stay ahead of this rapidly-changing segment of the technology industry.
To learn more about how the general trend toward mobility is affecting computing--and corresponding prices--in general, please feel welcome to call Area-Wide's central office at (217) 359-8041 or use our online contact form.
