I just bought a new laptop this weekend.

I am not allowed a Laptop, She said sommat like "you would even use it in the toilet", Not sure what she was implying.

I have used them before an i just cant get on with them, too small for my liking, If i did ever
get 1 it would be purely for the portability...

She was implying that you would take it everywhere you go.
You can buy laptops with 21 inch screens now so your argument is wrong.

What is wrong with that? Do that all the time. :D

21" screen, well, it might as well be a desktop then pmsl...

Well, I just end up using the laptop (and old G4 17") everywhere I go. It fits in my backpack, so the weight isn't an issue, it runs WoW smoothly enough, and runs all the image stuff I need. The mac laptop has become a bit of a lifestyle choice for me, so I never use our desktop any more.

I like things 'just so' when I use a machine, so it makes sense for me to take the same one everywhere.

Ive got an alienware laptop and i love it, 17" screen, 7800GT and room for upgrading later on. What more can one ask for :)

Switched from Desktop to Laptop last summer, this X-Mas I got myself a mad one. Only downside is the heat, I'm afraid of leaving it on for too long. Been reading about way too many laps that overheated.

I've been on a desktop PC since I first started using a computer regularly, probably 10 years ago. I agree with a couple people here that stated that it's nice to be able to walk away from the desktop and take a break every now and then. I also like having my desktop plugged into my television and surround sound system for excellent entertainment.

I've never had a laptop of my own, but I think I would really enjoy having one. It would give me the opportunity to go sit in another more comfortable room and chat with friends if I've having a lazy day. And more recently, I'd be able to take it with me to meet with a current or prospective client - no more jotting down in notebooks and such.

So basically, I think it's the best of both worlds. Just wish I HAD both worlds :D

1) I can upgrade my Desktop periodically to keep on the bleeding edge, I can't do that with a laptop.

2) My desktop will always outperform/embarass the 'best' laptop at the time.

I have a laptop for work (on-site programming) and I use my desktop for everything else.
