I can't stand laptop's myself. There expensive for the spec you get. You can't uprade them. (Apart from the RAM or possible the HDD if it's accesible from under the keyboard, or a back panel.) The battery life isn't very long on modern laptop's because of the high spec. They overheat. The screen's are small and you have the added problem of dead pixels. You know you'll end up with a red dot, dead centre of the screen the day after the warrenty runs out. And to top it all off. If it breaks you may as well throw it away as they cost so much to repair.
