Do you consider laptop as a necessity?

Yes for myself, because this is my source of income and I need my laptop to learn everything that I didn't know. It very useful for me without this I can't pay my bills at home.

Yes, my laptop is a necessity. Most of the classes I take are online and I really need the laptop to do my work. When I'm not doing work on it, I love to go to my favorite websites, check my email, and play games. If I'm bored, I'm guaranteed to find something to do either on the internet or on my laptop.

I consider a computer a necessity. Not just a laptop. Ive never had one of those. But i do have a computer and would not like giving that up.

Hi there Jess1991, Well, now a days, it seems that laptop has been a part of our everyday task. No wonder that this thing has been classified as one of the necessity now a days. Aside from that, due to the evolution of new and modern technology, laptop has been the great companion of every individual who works over the net. And I for one agrees that laptop is really a part of the necessity now a days.

No laptop is not necessary even Computer is also not necessary. But now Computer is popular because now everything available in computer or net.

Well i think the answer is depend on each people lifestyle. For me, my laptop or computer is a necessity for me because many of my activities now need me to keep close to my laptop or computer. With my aptop or computer i can earn some money online, chatting with my friends, watching videos, listening to musics, playing games, and many more activities that can be done with it. So, if suddenly i can't get access to my computer or laptop, my life would feels very different.

hmm.. laptop is sometimes necessary specially when you are roaming around or most of the times out of your deskotp reach.. and for playing games, listening music laptop is very good..

I think that for some it really is a necessity. When I was in my classes, I found my laptop to be a very useful tool. Although I graduated from university last spring, I still find that my laptop is very useful.

YES! I have 4 kids still in school and both the middle school and high school have gone to paperless midterm reports so to see their grades I need to be able to log in to an online account. They also have homework assigned to them that not only requires a computer but high speed internet. Then you get into bill paying and shopping... I don't drive and my hubby gets very impatient with both activities so my internet saves us from many arguments; something every marriage could do without. I also work online only allowing me to help my hubby with the income without having to give up being home with my children which is something I value more than all of the gold in the world. Our internet is the one "extra" I am willing to pay for in this time when money is so tight for so many of us. Very cool topic

Hi Jess The laptop is ideal for people who are on the move. I am not. I stay at home and do all my work from home. So I dont need one. I am happy with the desktop PC that I have. Enough for me

Yes, laptop nowadays has becoming a necessity to each individual. As for me, it is very useful in my studies. I use this whenever I have reporting wherein we do it through powerpoint presentation or another form of digital.

I don't think it's necessary to have a laptop. It's way more expensive as a desktop and also more behind. Still if I would buy a new computer it would be a small laptop so I can take it with me on vacation. Also I get tired of all these wires everywhere.

For me, I consider laptop as a necessity because of the course I'm being engaged to. Laptop is necessary for a business person, employee, and students because having one will really help. In some places where the economic is not very much improvised, it is fine to not to use computer.

Lappy is extremely important for me to do my job. I cannot imagine without laptop.If it is then I would be jobless.In olden days this was luxury but nowdays this is necessity.It is useful to connect with my friends who are at different places and meeting them in person is impossible.

I could notlive without my laptop. For one thing I can get clOser to the screen. I have poor vision, so this is important. For another thing, I don't have a desk, so I need a laptop to save space.

Oh yes, a laptop is definitely a necessity for me. I have a desktop PC, but also need a laptop for when I can't sit at my desk. I do most of my work on a computer, so I need both due to several health issues that make it difficult to stay in one spot too long. :)

of course it is necessity for me.. iam teaching and i need a gadget for taking source from internet or make the curriculum by gadget.. and the gadget is laptop

I consider my laptop to be a necessity, because I use it every day to make money because it's the only way I can earn extra cash to buy what I want.

I have 2 laptops and they are a necessity. I'm a writer, so I have to be able to sit down and write, and it is best that I am mobile. A desk top computer is not portable like the laptop is. My second laptop is a spare. I got it for $19 after a $100 rebate... and it has its own internet source by an air card. If something happens to our internet connection at the house, I have the air card laptop to use. Also, when this laptop crashed, I had the other laptop to use so I didn't miss any work. My cheap laptop I mentioned is actually a netbook... it's perfect for a spare computer.

Important? Yes but not necessary. As to preference, I can do away without it since I don't want to carry mine all the time. There is my cellphone where I can also read internet items. There are internet cafes almost 24/7 everywhere thus there is no problem accessing the net. In short, although we rely on the gadget so much but it is not 'yet' a necessity to have one.
