Hi all,
I feel very nervous about posting in a non-financial forum, as I'm really into unknown territory here.
Thinking about buying a new laptop and using it as my primary computer, as I believe a good laptop can do anything a desktop can do, and my requirements are fairly basic anyway - no gaming, videos etc., mostly the web, Excel, Word and a few other programs.
Trouble is I don't like laptop keyboard / touchpad mouse etc. So can I buy an external monitor, keyboard and mouse, leave them on my desk and plug them in to the laptop when I'm working in the office? Would it be standard that most laptops feature the necessary sockets (ports?) to plug in an external monitor, keyboard and mouse?
Thanks, Liam
