This month, I’m providing a writer’s technology tip-a-day (along with other posts) to help you in your writing goals.
Today’s tip: Thin notebook computers.
Notebook, or laptop, computers are a writer’s best friend — especially light weight notebook computers. And given today’s technology, notebook computers have become almost as powerful as their desktop comrades.
There are great advantages to notebook computers for writers as well:
Portability. You can take notebook computers almost everywhere — and everywhere is where I write. At home, on the patio, at the bed and breakfast, and on the plane. And the less weight, the easier it is to take the notebook computer with you.
Wireless Access. Almost all notebook computers today come with wireless access. Many places either offer wireless access to the Internet on the basis of a paid service (like at Starbucks) or free access (like at a bed and breakfast or hotel).
One machine for your writing. The vast majority of writing is done on computers. Having all of your writing on one machine — whether the writing is done on the road or at home — is a great advantage in time and effort to get the work done.
I have both a work and personal laptop and can attest to the fact that having a computer-to-go is a great advantage to a writer.
