laptop or Desktop?

[sf1818]

Which do you prefer and why?

[Yowser]

I gotta have my desktop. I have access to laptops and I have a hard time typing on those keyboards and can't stand the little mouse pad thing.

[Brandon]

Desktop. They are generally fast than laptops. Thats the main reasons.

[Gareth_Boyd]

I got both, iMac and iBook i think my iMac... A lot faster!

[Brandon]

You run Mac?

For a long time I would say desktop is better, but I have a laptop for 1 year now and I absolutely love it. Now i can take it with me and I have more space on my desk to fill it with other junk since the laptop is smaller than the desktop

I like desktops. They are usually faster and better for games

[Soulwatcher]

I prefer desktops, I play allot of games and laptops are not that great for video games.

Just 2 days ago, I sold my laptop and bought a desktop.
I definitely don't regret it. I like to be able to upgrade freely too, and that's not really an option with laptops.

[Brandon]

Very true. Laptops cause alot of problems, especially with the battery sometimes. BEcome so much of a hassle.. so unless I need a notebook for traveling, I stick with desktops.

You run Mac?

Yeh pretty lethal:



20-inch widescreen LCD with 1680x1050 resolution
2.0GHz Intel Core Duo with 2MB shared L2 cache
512MB (single SO-DIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
250GB Serial ATA hard drive
Slot-load 8x double-layer SuperDrive
ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB GDDR3 memory
Built-in AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 2.0

I find it hard with laptops to get used to the small screen. I'd have to get a big screen laptop if I ever got one.

Although I like my laptop, the problem with it is the 4200RPM hard disk drive. If I hook in a 7200RPM disk in it, it's battery would last lot less and battery life is important for me. Because of so many of my applications that need more I/O power, I have to remain with my Desktop PC.

[Brandon]

i love brandon alot

[ebittner]

I am all for a desktop. I can not stand laptops or atleast all of the laptops that I have ever used. To me a laptop is not worth it because of the price and the quality I think that desktops are much better. You can slo upgrade them more easily.

[robinshood]

I like laptops for conveinence....They are handy to have to take places....

[temporizer]

Laptop is good, but I prefer Desktop, because they are faster (generaly).

[India]

i prefer both , but laptop cause i can carry it anywhere!

[Liz]

I have both. I mainly use my laptop, I prefer it cause its easy to move around. Since I work at home most of the time I don't always like to work in my office. of course its nice to travel too.
