I get asked quite often from newer VA’s the question “laptop or desktop?” If you asked me that question when I first began my business 10 years ago, I would have proudly stated I was a desktop chick! Mind you back then, laptops were not as cost effective as they are now. I did in fact buy my first laptop 8 years ago for the low, low price of $3500.00. I bought it simply due to my travel schedule and quite honestly I used it maybe twice. I found it absolutely slow, quite heavy to carry and hooking up the internet was an absolute nightmare. It was probably the worst investment I have ever made…let’s just chalk it up to an “impulse buy” gone bad. So, of course I went back to “old faithful” my desktop PC with a renewed loyalty that nothing would come between us again 
Well years went by and I remained true to my desktop, until my life took a dramatic turn in 2005 when I became pregnant with my daughter. If you read my post last week Don’t sweat the small stuff!! you’ll understand why I had to make the switch from Desktop to Laptop.
