Sure, a computer system is one business tool that any practical home business person should never live without. But how do you choose what type of computer to use?

Desktop - It's the less portable type of computer that's known to be equipped with larger memory capacity. It's bulky and known to be more durable than a laptop. Do you agree with that? Many business owners who are not often traveling can benefit from the features a desktop offers - larger space capacity, larger screen options, etc. Top desktop brands include Dell Dimension E521 and Apple IMAC.

Laptops - For people who can't stay at home too much because of client meetings or simply because they love the outdoors and would prefer working in coffeeshops, a laptop is the best choice. However, there are still homebuddies who are too fidgety who can also benefit from the portability of laptops. Top brands of laptops include Apple MacBook Pro, Dell Inspiron

Check whether you have to move about too often. Your budget a couple of hundreds of dollars or more than a $1000? What will you use the computer for? Would you want it to be a strictly business tool? Or would you want it to serve as a pleasure gizmo, too (watching DVD's and gaming)? Will you be doing graphics editing that would require you advanced graphics software installed?

Answering those questions and thinking more of what you want your computer to accomplish for you will help in deciding what kind of laptop or desktop computer will suit you and your home based business.

So which one is for you? A MacBook Pro or a Dell desktop computer?
