5. Faster operating system restore

Laptops usually come with preinstalled operating system like Windows XP or Vista. They have restore CD or DVD which allows you to restore system in case of problems or failure. In case you have separate external hard disk for your data OS restoring takes about 30 minutes in total with installation of all software tools you need. With desktop computers you would have to install OS, make restore CD yourself and test it.

6. Less noise

Desktop computers tend to make a lot of noise which can be irritating and can make you less creative. Webmastering (except video editing) is not load intensive so your main CPU fan on laptop will be mostly off.

7. Possibility to extend your desktop

All laptops allready have display and buying additional external (normal) monitor can be used for extending your work space, allowing you to have more tools open and working with. With additional monitor you can transform your laptop in normal desktop computer with big screen, normal keyboard and mouse. However all benefits listed above will still be here.

8. Power and space saving

If you?re hard working and have your fast big desktop computer turned on whole day you will have power costs which aren?t insignificant anymore. Specially during summer when they will make your working premises hotter. Laptops save space and do not need special furniture to place them. You definitely won?t place them on your floor (some people place their tower cases on floor which causes faster dust collection and possible overheating problems unless they clean them on regular basis). Mentioned overheating problem can cause hard disk failure and data loss. There are insignificant chances to get overheating problems with laptops.

Some of you could be worried about lower laptop performance. Well for webmastering Intel Core2Duos (event normal Core Duos) with clock 1.6Ghz - 2.0Ghz and 2GB ram will be definitely enough for 99% of all tasks you will be doing. Considering todays prices and how many good laptop brands are out there it?s pitty not to have all that benefits.
