Post by: jongarton on March 01, 2010, 10:24:09 pm: Both have their pros and cons but I would have to say if i'm home the computer, if i'm traveling the laptop would do wonders (if I had 1)

Can't get a modem to connect to the internet (dial-up). Laptop has Windows 7 and all the modems on the market go up to Vista -- but not W7.

Hoping to get a download for window 7 drivers soon so I can see if the laptop is all it's supposed to be.

Love my desktops, tho.

Post by: Azanne07 on March 02, 2010, 06:58:23 am: I have one of both. I love my desktop for stay at home stuff but having a lap top allows me to be portable.

Post by: mrisha on March 02, 2010, 07:27:41 am: I have a laptop and a desktop. I use them both. The laptop is more mobile so I can carry it and use it anywhere.

Post by: articx on March 02, 2010, 07:40:23 am: I have a desktop and laptop, and like them both the same... Maybe, the laptop a little more since it doesn't need as much space as a desktop.

Post by: wbarth on March 02, 2010, 07:47:46 am: definitely i prefer a computer.. i have one laptop too but seems to me to be more comfortable a computer, where you can use a mouse and sit down and relax

Post by: jmtalboo on March 02, 2010, 11:27:41 am: I have a PC, but I don't mind using my girlfriend's laptop as long as I have a real mouse hooked up to it.
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: mommagoes on March 02, 2010, 11:32:45 am: i've only owned laptops, and the first one was a hand-me-down from a cousin. it was a 5 year old dell, slow, counldn't download anything, difficult to watch any video, and way outdated so i really only used a few times a month. and even then i would only use it for a little while because my hands would hurt from using the stupid touchpad for the mouse. then my husband bought me a brand new gateway nv78, with a wireless mouse and windows 7. it is fast, has a huge screen, and i am on it all day long! so much in fact that he might be regretting this purchase! :) just kidding!

Post by: sgreika on March 02, 2010, 01:47:24 pm: I prefer my laptops. I own two now and have completely gotten rid of my desktop systems. I like the mobility, but can easily plug my laptop into additional storage as needed.

Post by: angelchef80 on March 05, 2010, 03:58:01 am: use my laptop more
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: samrhett2 on March 05, 2010, 05:42:52 am: If I could only have one, I guess it would be my laptop, but I sure to like my big black powerful, faster computer. I think if you are lucky enough to have both, that is the best scenario. And if you are like me, many times they are side by side and you are working on both of them at the same time. lol
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: dmalsbury on March 05, 2010, 06:17:28 am: I don't own a laptop, because they cost more than I want to spend right now and I like to get into my computer and tinker with the hardware a lot. I am thinking that these newer "smart" phones may supplant both desktops and laptops. Has anyone tried the new "netbooks"?
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: cynybiny68 on March 05, 2010, 01:41:14 pm: I use a computer at work and my laptop at home. I like using my laptop because I can get comfy in my chair or sofa and go to work.
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: yaayme on March 05, 2010, 02:06:07 pm: Laptop...Cause you can carry it wherever you go, but I heard they don't last as long as the desktop so :dontknow:
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: strumcat on March 05, 2010, 02:09:21 pm: I just got a netbook and I love it. I can take it wherever I go and have access to my data anytime. I prefer the solid durability of my PC though.
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: Gothy505 on March 07, 2010, 02:41:11 pm: I prefer desktops(computers) because i'm very rarely traveling and in need of a computer. I can complete simple electronic tasks with my iTouch :]
Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: ihurrahi on March 13, 2010, 05:24:28 pm: I would prefer to have both. Desktop to use at home and laptop for traveling/moving around. A netbook would be cool since its so nice. My current laptop is so heavy that I don't want to bring it outside since it's so troublesome.

Title: Re: laptop or computer?
Post by: Shahrukhlover on August 18, 2010, 08:09:32 pm: I prefer my laptop, so I can sit on the couch or lay down on my bed. It's more comfortable. With a computer, I have to site in a hard office chair and that's it. There's no relaxation. Plus it's in my parent's room, so there's no privacy.
