Advantages Of Wireless Computer Hardware

These days when it comes to new computers just about every desktop computer and laptop/tablet PC comes with Wifi on it as well as Bluetooth capability.

This gives you several key advantages, particularly if you hate the amount of wires that are normally associated with a computer, such as a wire from the mouse, and a wire from the keyboard. But this is just the start as you then commonly have a wire from the PC to a printer or scanner, and many people now have a separate photo printer needing yet another cable.

You may then also have a remote camera for use as a webcam, a dock to connect your ipod or smart phone up to, in fact you can then end up with a USB port extender just to cope with all these extra wires! All these wires can add up to make a very cluttered working environment, to say the very least.

So if like me you hate wires, what can you do? Well firstly when buying a new PC make sure it has Bluetooth functionality as well as Wifi.

This is because you can then purchase a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, making them both wireless. You can also use the Bluetooth to synchronise with your smart phone, getting rid of another wire. Whilst these initially take a short time to setup, once they are setup you can pretty much forget about them.

When investing in a printer you can now get wireless printers relatively cheaply, and these connect up via the Wifi part of your computer. Not only does this get rid of the printer cable, but also means that you can have the printer in a totally different room if you want to. Also this gives you the advantage that then anyone with access to your Wifi network at home can print wirelessly without having to connect their laptop as an example, directly to the printer.

When purchasing a photo printer ensure that it has Bluetooth connectivity as well as Wifi, as this will then allow you the advantage of being able to either send pictures to it from your PC or send them direct from your smart phone or even the latest digital camera.

Going wireless with your computer hardware costs surprisingly little, especially if you think ahead and look for wireless functionality when buying new computer hardware. As can be seen from the above ideas, once set up the advantages of wireless computer hardware are such that you will wonder how you ever did without it.
