The right desktop-replacement laptop.(HELP & HOW-TO: BUYING BASICS: HOW TO BUY)(Product/service evaluation)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
Looking to get rid of that cumbersome desktop, without sacrificing any of the power? A desktop-replacement laptop can provide all the functionality of a traditional desk-bound PC-in a mobile package. Find the perfect portable with these buying tips.
SHOPPING SPECS
CASE
Because they're built with large screens and high-performance components, desktop-replacement notebooks tend to be larger and heavier than other laptops. They also get warmer: The more blazing the rig, the hotter your laptop is likely to run, so choose a case that's properly ventilated. Magnesium and other molded metal enclosures usually dissipate heat better than plastic cases can.
