Harddisk space is one of the major factors to be considered when purchasing or assembling a computer. Of course, this is where you would save all your files, MP3s, movies, pictures, etc. When buying a computer, my main focus is on the processor, memory (RAM), video card, and the harddisk space. But large harddisk space needed for laptop computers?

Most laptop users would have a personal computer (desktop computer) at home. They only have laptop computers for portability purpose where they can bring their work anywhere they go. For this kind of users, maybe, HDD (harddisk drive) space is just a plus when choosing laptop or notebook computers. Files are stored in computers at home, and only needed files would be stored in a laptop. For those who don’t have a desktop computer, you could still backup your files in DVDs or CDs or even the use of external harddrives which are commonly used for laptops.

So I guess, large HDD capacity is not a need for laptop computers, but of course, why not settle for the best? Large difference in HDD capacity doesn’t mean a huge difference in its price. It is not a need, but would still advice to go for the best.
