notebook computer

When it comes to computers, a notebook computer, the best choice to run all works. I use it for over two years. Why I chose the notebook instead of desktop, that's because the notebook is more convenient than the "heavy" desktop. I can plug into interational network if my wireless function is permitted. I don't have to tie so many wires with string as desktop computers needed. However, I strongly felt that the notebook was not user-friendly anymore. In contrast, it bothered me a lot recently. I had my computer reinstalled five times so far. I wander why it got computer virus so easy. For most my friends, they considered the virus because I watched something bad on website. However, I need to claim here that I used my computer in proper way. My computer broke down because the sofware was too weak.

Your first sentence is missing a verb: "is". It also has a strange infinitive phrase: "to run all works". This phrase is not natural English, nor is it normal computer-pro talk. We don't call software or hardware "works". Software is called "applications". You might want to say something like this instead: "Notebook computers are so fast and powerful these days that they are the best choice for people who need to bring their own PC to class, work, or the local coffee shop."

Your second sentence would be better as "I chose to use a notebook instead of a desktop because my notebook is light and portable, and it allows me to access the Internet if I'm near a wireless hotspot."

Maybe the next sentence would be better as "And because my notebook has everything it needs -- monitor, speakers, wireless receiver, keyboard, and mouse -- already in the case, I don't have to tie up a lot of wires with string as I do with my desktop."

"However, I strongly felt that the notebook was not user-friendly anymore." This is a bit vague because of the way it's stated. The time isn't at all clear. Maybe it would be better as this: "However, for the past few months, I've been feeling that my notebook is no longer very user-friendly."

I think you should leave out the next sentence, "In contrast, it bothered me a lot recently." It adds nothing to my understanding of the topic of your post.

"I've had to have everything on my notebook reinstalled five times since [You really need to tell the reader when the first re-installation was]. I just don't understand why it keeps getting infected with one virus or another." These two sentences would be better.

"Most of my friends think I visited the wrong websites and looked at the wrong pages." I don't know what your friends mean by "watched something bad".

Nor do I know what you mean by "I used my computer in proper way." It implies that they were accusing you of going to websites that you shouldn't have been going to. That's a moral judgment. I don't know what kind of moral standards you and they have, so I don't know what that means. What I do know, however, is that you can get viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and various other types of malware from any website, even if you use your computer "in a proper way", whatever that means.

"My computer broke down because the sofware was too weak." This is a judgment that you may not be qualified to make. No computer pro would say "Your software is too weak". That statement alone is enough to tell me that you don't know a lot about computers.

Do you have updated anti-virus and anti-spyware programs on your notebook? Do you have a good software firewall installed on your notebook? Are you careful about which emails you open? Do you often go to websites that you've never been to before? Do you download and install lots of free software? There are lots of places on the Internet that are waiting to invade and infect your computer. People who spend much time surfing and downloading music and pictures and movies generally end up with viruses and Trojans and spyware.

When a notebook computer breaks down, it is usually the hardware that's too weak: notebooks break much more often than desktops do. They're fragile.

maybe you have donwload some programs with virus that you didn't noticed. next time be more careful and think twice when you are going to install a new program from the Internet.
