Today laptops are outselling
the traditional desktop computers as the portability they offer means that a laptop can be used not just at home and in the
office, but also during commuting and flights, in coffee shops, in libraries, etc.
In 2009 it is estimated that almost
178 million laptops will be sold but due to their portability, laptops are subject to more wear and physical damage than desktops
as for example a coffee or tea spill onto the keyboard would be a minor mishap with a desktop system, but for a laptop it
might result in damage to the internals of a laptop and result in a costly repair.
One survey found that a laptop
is 3 times more likely to break during the first year of use than a desktop and due to the portability a laptop is far more
likely to be stolen than a desktop machine.
To try and mitigate against these risks some companies have brought
out insurance policies specifically for laptops.
