Being Base: Some Questions Answered
I sit online most of my waking hours, and that really takes me out of the loop sometimes with what people want in the real world. Sometimes, to quote my fiance, people want technology that just works. I cannot blame folks, I am the same way. If I have to do a lot of customizing and detailing, then the experience might not be as fun (at least in the short term). But this is ok, here at MMM we can help make some things a bit easier for you when it comes to this [wacky, technical, confusing, exciting, and exotic] field of human innovation.
How do I choose whether I need a laptop or a PDA like a Treo?
Decide if you work away from your desk often or not so much; if you can handle paying an additional $15-$45 per month in data costs; can use a smaller screen and more portability; need to develop full page layout items or not; correspond with people immediately or on your own time; or need instant connection to the Internet. If you find that you are on the go a lot and need information in a fast-accessible means, then chances are that a PDA would work for you. If your needs are only for working on the go, but not so much being connected to the Internet all the time, then a laptop would be a better call here.
If I buy a PDA now, will it be out of date next month/year?
Despite what commericals and websites might tell you, NO. If a PDA (or any computer for that matter) meets your needs and you find that there is minimal maintenance that needs to be kept up on your item, then you do not need to upgrade. The key is making sure that the device meets your needs, and then meets your wants. If you purchase something just because it is the top of the line model, you might find that later on that you did not get your money's worth because you didn't understand the full capability or use the full capability of the device (plus the money you save by purchasing smart could go towards something else of need).
How important are things like extended warranties, service plans, and insurance?
Really, this depends on the person. If you frequently misplace keys, children (just joking), or anything else, then a service plan or insurance might be of a helpful incentive. They are never cheap, and really point more towards the commission of the person who is selling you the device than the actual cost of the device. Warranties are not too bad, but if you have the chance to insure an item under a personal articles plan, then go for that. That will take up where your warranty does not in many cases.
I purchased a mobile computer and have no idea what else it can do for me, help!
