Well the main people who have laptops are those with good jobs and are normally business people but truthfully I dont believe that you need a laptop. But most companies have computers where ever you go! so when you travel its called wait tell you get to the office and now days most hotels have computers to depending where you stay. But laptops are slower and if you want to wait hours for things to get where they are going and then go head get one but if you can wait to send something write something then wait tell you can sit down at a pc and work!
