Hard Drive Question: Why Are Laptops So Stable?
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 2:00 pm
I know that if you keep knocking your pc with your knee (or your desk with the pc on it), you're going to shorten its life. I guess this is because of the hard drive as that's the main moving part.
If laptops are also using traditional hard drives and not solid state ones, why is it that you can pick up a laptop and twirl it around, even when it's on, and not worry about killing the thing?
Do laptops use hard drives with extra stability built in, something that would make desktops too costly?
Or, maybe my initial premise is wrong (?)
