Desktops vs. Laptops

[Samuraid]

Desktop for the win.

Truthfully it depends on what you use and need. Some people needs their laptops while others need their desktops.

Desktop... although sometimes i wish i had a laptop so i could play games during boring uni lectures... but desktops are faster!!! mine is Pentium IV, 3.4 GHz, 1GB RAM, 200GB Harddrive... which i am in the process of filling.

I prefer desktops, but I want a laptop too.

I've never liked laptops much.

I've both a laptop and a desktop.
Laptops are good for uni/college, but they're seriously lacking in the games department because vid cards aren't modable. So unless you get something like an Alienware, which aren't cheap, and certainly not that great in other aspects OTHER than gaming I wouldn't reccommend one.
However, desktops aren't very practical for school purposes because you can't lug them around in nifty little cases.

I'm using a laptop right now Portability = yay I'm also picking up too many external devices too, including USB mouse and modem, and 3 firewire HDs and firewire DVD±RW DL drive, and sometimes a monitor too. Since I don't game much, and what CPU intensive stuff I do use my laptop can handle anyway, I use my desktop as a server/router instead.


What they really need to do is make a desktop with similar power specs as a laptop and start using batteries in them, essentially providing all PCs with built-in UPSs
