I had a laptop also that I sold last year, a SONY VAO. I bought it after I sold my old tower system. Even though I have a tower again now, I must agree laptops are great. I used to crash out on the couch with the laptop on the coffee table using it. Much more relaxing, rather than being sat at a computer table in a chair. I had a mouse that I bought also to use with it. The only downside is games though. They just don't cut it like a custom tower when it comes to playing online game that require a very good system. But if your not into games, I'd say get a laptop instead of a PC. |
Mu Current laptop (Core 2 Duo, more then enough memory and fast disk) outperforms my current desktop (P3/550MHz/198Mb RAM/WinXP-SP2) with no problems. :D

My new macbook should be arriving any minute...(I hope). Which will be a move from Desktop to Laptop, I am hoping the transition will be good!

Do yourself a favour before it comes, get yourself a USB optical mouse to use with it, miles better than using the mouse keypad. You'll love it then!
|
why limit yourself?...I have both and use them accordingly ;)

I can't build a laptop so I don't use them.

I've just never replaced the desktop becuase the laptop has worked for my needs. I don't play games, mostly just do website work, and graphic work, along with some video editing for my car club.
Currently AMD X2 with 2 gig memory and 260 gig hdd (100gig + 160gig) 17inch ultra bright view. As MRGTB said, get a wireless mouse. My HP came with bluetooth built in so I have a bluetooth mouse, which is very useful. I only use the touch pad when I'm using my PC to work on cars. I have a program for tuning LS! engines called LS1Edit that I use with my laptop. Also, when I've been coding late, sometimes I like to carry the laptop from the desk to my recliner. I suppose it comes down to your needs. However, I still dont understand you MAC boys. Thats like a never ending FAD. |
Why use just one or the other, or even just one of each? :p
I have a MacBook, a Win95 Laptop (it did have ME on it when I got it, but needless to say I quickly nuked that and put 95 on it instead as it is a much better OS), a Win XP Pro Desktop (hooked to to my 32" LCD TV), and a 24" iMac. Thats what I call basic, but I'll probably be adding a Linux box or two to it before the year is out, and maybe get a newer windows laptop to run alongside everything else, and then by the time I've got another Windows Desktop (probably with Vista), and a MacPro, both of which will be custom specs as normal, then I'll be heading towards perfection. |
Tri-Boot, Linux, Vista, Media Center 2005

For me, I use my notebook computer for school, and that's about it. It has no graphics card, no games and weighs only 4.7 lbs. My desktop computer, on the other hand, has a powerful graphics card, tons of games and all my image editing software.
I think as notebooks become even cheaper and have better hardware, people will see the benefit of just having a desktop replacement notebook, but until that day comes, I'm still going to stick with desktop and notebook computers. |
