A mobile/portable or fixed trading station?
Generally, the desire to become a trader is combined with the desire to be financially independent.
This wish sometimes goes hand in hand with the idea of traveling and working from anywhere and therefore of taking a mobile/portable trading station.
However, before you think of a laptop as a substitute for a trading station, there are several things you need to consider.
Is the laptop as powerful as a PC trading station?
No. The laptop is less powerful. Even if today there are quality, you are limited by the space offered by the size of the laptop and therefore the number of possible components to integrate.
In addition, PCs are modular and easily upgradable, just like our trading stations.
And in the case of a breakdown?
With a laptop, you have little leeway. You can change the battery to see the memory live if it is accessible. But for all the other breakdowns you will have to leave your laptop in a specialized shop which will make you an estimate then with your agreement will repair it. All of this will obviously take several days.
With a PC trading station, you already eliminate the battery problem. This being the most common failure on laptops. Even if it is left on continuously, the battery must be running a minimum so that it can ignite.
Other failures are more easily repairable on PCs thanks to the space and ease they offer as well as their modularity.

Is the security of a portable trading station different?
By choosing to take a mobile/portable trading station in order to be able to work from anywhere, you will connect to different public and / or private networks.
Unlike your private network at home which has dedicated you, the others will not have the same security. There will be times when your mobile phone will disconnect due to lack of reception. This will happen even more if you are on Wi-Fi or abroad, the standards of which may differ with the integrated Wi-Fi card.
Additionally, by borrowing different networks whose configuration you do not know, whether public or private, you become more vulnerable to hackers who can take advantage of it to break into your laptop and access all your data.
Another important security point is the theft of equipment. Indeed, it happened to a friend who had his cell phone stolen, and this was in the middle of the day in a cafe. When this happens, both the equipment and everything in it is lost. Even if you put a password, for an experienced person it will be possible to get around this obstacle.
