How Families Can Agree on Computer Use

August 2, 2013 By admin

A family that has one desk-top computer and one laptop computer for its use is fairly covered for their expected needs. When both parents and children both have needs for computer use, it is really difficult when there is only one unit available for use. With work requirements pulling the parents on one side and children being pulled from the other end by school requirements, there are bound to be sacrifices on both sides.

Computer Needs of Parents

Parents whose job or business is based at home will have constant need for the use of computers. Computer use becomes a regular part of home life. There is a tendency to have need for the computer all the time especially when there are no set hours for a business.

Computer Needs of Children

Children’s needs for computer use is increasing because of the demands of school work. Usually, their need to use the computer will be immediate because of the requirement to submit an assignment the next day.  This creates a problem for families who need to agree on computer use that will serve the purpose of all.

Possible Solutions

1. Set specific time for the use of each so that everyone will have the chance to use the computer.

2. If the required use for the computer is not solved by time sharing, parents should consider purchasing another computer for the use of either the parent or the child.

3. If purchasing another computer becomes the only option, find the most family-friendly option in tems of budget and functionality.

Asus X501U

The Asus X501U is a laptop that is both budget-friendly and family-friendly in features. It comes with an impressive 320BG hard drive  which is ideal for storing a lot of videos, photos, files, and documents. Its slim design comes with a 15 inch screen. It also provides ports that will enable charging of gadgets and devices.

Although it does not come with the full Microsoft package, it is still quite functional for student use especially as it comes with Windows 8 OS. Parents need not actually bother themselves with the absence of some features since these are the ones that are not really needed for school use. This budget laptop will serve its purpose for the family and that it was is important.

Asus has made it easier for families to address needs like this by offering lower cost laptops. Purchasing a laptop has become quite realistic and affordable. when families find it impossible to agree on the use of a single computer, it is probably time to buy another which will not wreck havoc on the family budget.
