Whether you need a notebook or not depends on each individual. If you were to ask me, an ordinary PC will do.However, a notebook can be convenient if you have to travel and you happen to be away from home. A notebook makes it possible for you to catch up with things all the time.For most people, however, this is a luxury and will make do with the ordinary PC back home or in the office. Anyway, it sure is a good idea to have one. Dont you think so?
