Title: Desktop or Laptop computer?
Post by: shellyb42 on June 14, 2010, 04:36:08 pm
I prefer using a laptop over a desktop.   How about you?

Laptop, because you can take it with you wherever you go, and its easy to use.

Laptop definitely better because you can carry it on the go.  It just makes life that much easier.  I actually just bought a 10' netbook, works out great and it's tiny...lol :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I have not had a laptop yet; but I can see that would be a smart move to make for my next computer.

I could take my "business" with me and not be stuck in the one room of my house.

Laptop. Might just be because my desktop computer is just terrible. But I like the portability of my laptop. So... Yeah.

It depends on my task, I guess.  If I am doing homework, I prefer my desktop with all the roominess of the desk.  If I am playing around outside or at a coffee shop, the laptop wins hands down.

I just got a simple laptop so I don't have to be in one room.
Takes up little to no space compared to the desktop.

I like a laptop better, but I do have a desktop that I like as well. a laptop is more versatile, but it is a bit of a hassle to keep plugging in and hooking up the mouse and all that whenever I want to use it. My desktop stays hooked up and plugged in all the time.

i use a laptop right now but i want to use a desktop too cause laptops aren't generally built for heavy usage such as downloading, games, and all that other stuff.. at least for me.. ahahahha...

I use both and they are both great.  I like the desktop because it is faster and holds more stuff but the laptop is way more convenient and portable.   :thumbsup:

Either for me I got both but I find myself using desk top most due to thats what I do most of my work on for my business.  I use the laptop when I have to leave house or if hubby is in hospital.  Really doesn't matter to me.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

I prefer being in one set spot, so I love my desktop. I have a sweet little netbook that goes anywhere, but my big paws have problems maneuvering on the keyboard!

I prefer using a laptop simply for the conveniece that it has. The ability to move from place to place, city to city, etc and not have to move any of your informtion to another source in order to access it.

I currently use a desktop but I wish had a laptop instead. in fact as soon as I can afford one I plan to get one. :)

I definitley prefer using my laptop because it is small and I can take it anywhere with me.  I like that I can sit in front of the tv and use my computer if i want.  Or I will take it to work with me if I need to.  I also like that it is easy to move.

We had a desktop for years, and we have had a laptop for the past 2 and love it.
A ble to watch tv and be online is great.

Desktop, no contest. Sure, you can take a laptop anywhere, but can it run as well or perform as fast as a desktop (without dishing out several hundred dollars more)? I'm a PC gamer. Desktop is a must.

However, for school, I would take a laptop over a desktop. ;)

I would take laptop for its mobility and convenience. However, when we're talking intensive use like gaming or the like, desktop would beat it any time.

I've used both, and at times had both. I like other gamers, prefer a desk top simply because it processes everything faster, more memory and you don't have to worry about over heating (which really isn't a terribly major concern now with laptops but, it was when they first came out).  Right now I live in a house with six other people 4 of us have computers, all of which are laptops, having a desktop set up anywhere around here would be pretty hard.  This way we can take our homework and do it wherever we find some peace and quiet lol.

I am also juggling between the two, I know I get more bang for the buck with a desktop, but the portability with a laptop is extremely nice. hmmm

Ive always used a desktop, but have always wanted a laptop and am saving up to get one for online college courses as its more mobile, but ive heard they are less upgradeable and have cooling issues, but i have had the same desktop since sometime in 2001 and it does what i need it too, just cant carry it around with me.. lol

I like having both for different reasons.  If I'm doing a lot of work on the computer, I like the desktop so I have my desk and a good chair to sit in to do my work (use it when doing things like planning or web design).  I like my laptop for personal stuff and travel - I take notes on television shows/commercials - so the laptop is convenient to have while sitting on the couch.

I prefer using a laptop over a desktop.   How about you?

I have both at home.  I prefer to use my lap top because it gives me greater freedom and flexibility to move around while working.  I work at home an sitting in my home office all day gets boring.  But when I use my lap top I am able to work anywhere in the home.  I can't use the built in mouse though, I hook up a portable mouse to allow me to navigate better.
