It depends on the preferences and needs of the user. If size/weight is
important for you when you travel, then the PDA will be fine. If you use
your computer for many periods of just 5 minutes, setting up of the laptop
will be an overkill. If you typically use search engines and browse simple
content, then screen size and bandwidth are not a major issue.
You must first recognise what you have to earn or lose when choosing a
laptop. Then, you need to imagine how these pros and cons apply to your
personal work routine.
