Why even own a desktop computer?

[RedTyger]

As far as graphic design goes, the small screen is a pain in the behind. Laptops are much more expensive than a desktop of equivalent performance and you may think that nothing breaks but they break as much if not more than desktops (heat is much more of an issue in laptops, if nothing else). You have less upgradability than you do with desktops and performance, while always improving, is not quite on par with desktop systems.
