    Laptops vs Desktops


    Hi everyone,

    I just created this thread to fulfil a thought I had the other day. I was wondering what people's opinions were on laptops and desktops. I myself have always used a laptop as I need the portability but I know many people don't like the smaller size and the fact they are harder to service.

    Which do you prefer? Laptop? Desktop? Or do you really not care what you use?

    I voted desktops because I use a desktop as my primary computer. I do, however, use a laptop. I can lay down and use my laptop which is something that I can't do with my desktop.

    They really are two different machines and they both have there place. I would add that with a top shelf laptop you can set it up as I have as a screen and CPU and then run a wireless mouse and keyboard along with an additional monitor and now you have a mobile desktop masquerading as a laptop.

    I'm going to admit never to have owned a laptop untill early this year.
    Found it to be a very usefull thing. Still lots I do with the desktop because it's the htpc and all. But for basic tasks, checking email etc., a laptop with a 14-15" screen is great. I can also run mine completely off solar my power system. That won't happen with the desktop, 2 monitors & a 37". Heck of a difference in footprints.

    Desktop at home as I need the screen size, laptop to go with us on holiday or weekend breaks as I can use it on the train or anyone of 3 million wi-fi hotspots around the world using BT Fon.

    All interesting stuff.

    I myself only have access to a laptop and have had to get use to working on a smaller screen. It's quite a shock when I've been using the school desktops all day and then coming back to my 15 inch laptop. I do all sorts of stuff on my laptop, photo editing, video editing, being on here!, homework etc.
