i have a laptop for school and it works fine can play doom 3 on it and stuff,
but would prefer a desktop because i can upgrade parts of it and stuff.
and most laptops have mobile versions as cpu's thats kinda sucky, in my laptop i
got a p4 2.8 desktop edition so that is better but still it uses more battery
power.
so if i have to choose i would choose a desktop but when u have to do things for
school or work a laptop is very easy.
it doesnt have to have good specs for word or something.

its cheaper and more powerful
True. I haven't any money to
waste and I don't go out for a long time anyway. And I often need to work with
harddisks brought from elsewhere - that wouldn't be possible with a notebook.
Oooo. Whoa. Honestly, I figured that Laptops would win, (not like this would be
a race, mind you. Haha. ) because they are portable and light, and well... uh cooler.
The gap between laptops and desktops are always decreasing . In a few years time
, laptops probably won't cost much more or be much less powerful than desktops.
Of course , some things , such as screen size , sound quality will always be in
short supply on a laptop.
I have a desktop and I really like it, big monitor, more powerfull and is
cheaper. However being at college it would be nice to have a light laptop to
carry around and use while I'm not at home.
as of now, i got 5 mac desktops, 1 pc desktop, and a new 12" powerbook
g4... i thought the powerbook was gonna be a supplemental machine, but it's
become my primary machine...to answer the question, tho, i used to prefer
desktops, but now that i have my laptop, i kinda like em both

That´s quite right for various purposes the desktop
it´s the choice but for travels and other stuffs the laptop
it´s the best, But I´ll stay with my desktop for the
work !!
I use a desktop most of the time. I was looking around at new computers and the
difference between laptop and dekstop's specs are becoming very close. In fact,
In top of the line laptops they looked identitcal in stats to new desktop. Ive
also got a laptop for school, its a compaq p3 somethingerother. Its really great
for having around school but im sure not playing doom on it.. I wish
Im playing dune 2000 and trespasser and listening to endless loops of ffviii
soundtrack (balamb garden when im working )
I like my desktop because I can spec it the way I want it spec'd and like people
have said, upgrade parts of it instead of the whole thing. The convenience of a
laptop, especially it's portability, however would be very handy and if I had
the dollars I'd probably buy one.
I use a laptop in my dorm room, (far easier to deal with, as is portable - but
also easy to steal for the same reason, so I've been extremely careful - so far
so good) and a desktop at home. I prefer the desktop because I have a 120 GB
harddrive on it vs. the 10 and 14 GB I get on the partitioned laptop harddrive.
(XO Such a pain in the arse, but it came that way)
I like 'em both for different reasons. Though i wish my laptop had a full sized
keyboard, I never can get used to the smaller one.
i keep the laptop networked to the desktop, off on the right side of my desk,
and run my messengers, and other constantly running programs off of it, while I
do all the main stuff on the desktop.
It's good for putting stoff on and the extra cd-rom, et all, and doesn't use as
much power as having a 2nd computer running would. Space saver too. Hook up a
full sized kb and mouse and it's fine.
But for all the important stuff, desktop all the way. Cheaper, more powerful,
etc.
I like my laptop... hehe, I like the 40giga it has.... and I only have an old
desktop...and, I can take my things everywhere...and have wireless conection
soooo, I;m happy...hehe, and my laptop is pretty powerful, I can do anything I
like to do....here....
Hey Everyone! Haha. I'm so happy, I just got a new Laptop! Its a Compaq Presario R3000! Yay! Now I feel like Eiri Yuki!
Simple Question for you all: $$ Do you use a Laptop or Desktop?
$$ Which do you like better!?! (Laptop, for me, Teehee.)
Thanks for your time!
desktop for sure

I use a desktop but I need a laptop badly.
id go with a desktop always, since i never travel and would never need a laptop.
I have both desktop and laptop but I'm using my laptop mostly to surf the web and use desktop to play games.

I want both even though i not smart enough to customize em
Desktop, because I don't have laptop... ^_^
Laptop is easily outdated and it's expansive too.

Hmm... I like desktops.. they make me feel more comfy, for some reason...=PpP

Personally, I like using a desktop because it plays my games: Doom 3, Warcraft 3 FT, and Unreal 2K4.
