Laptops and PDAs

Handheld computers, or personal digital assistants (PDAs), are devices that run cut-down versions of "standard" office software packages. The small size of handhelds can make extended use inconvenient, but they're ideal for on-the-move access to email, schedules and documents. Some PDAs can also be used as mobile phones.

Laptop computers give you the full functionality of a desktop PC and can handle the full range of office software. , office or email inbox using the wireless "hot spots" that are often available in public places such as railway and service stations.

If you need to access the internet and check emails while travelling, or connect to your office network, you can connect a laptop to the internet via a landline, a mobile phone, or wireless data services. Handheld computers can often be linked to a mobile phone for data networking - exchanging information with other computers. Wireless-enabled devices can also be used to connect to the internet, office or email inbox using the wireless "hot spots" that are often available in public places such as railway and service stations.

In the office you can connect mobile devices to the network using cables or wireless technology. Wireless-enabled devices - laptops, PDAs etc - can automatically connect to their "home" network when in signal range in order to synchronise data with office databases and file servers so that data on all devices is up to date.
