Title: laptop or tower
Post by: metsrock69 on February 03, 2019, 10:08:55 am
I have used both of these but now I have a laptop. I have an older tower but it is  only used for playing the older games I like to play. I might get another tower in the future but now the laptop works just as good for what I need it for. :)

I have a laptop but rarely use it.  The pc is my go to because I like the large screen and the feel of the keyboard.

I have both and use both but my PC is still my favorite.  I love the big screen and the fact I can multitask.

I used to have a tower, but when it died, I did not replace it.  I strictly used my laptop now.

We also had a tower, but replaced it many years ago.  The ease of a laptop is so much more fun!

When I travel for work it is the lap top. When I am home it is the tower.

   Pros and cons:

   Tower desktops are very reliable at work and home.
    Lap tops are mobile.

I love my laptop and wouldn't go back to a desktop.  I like be able to take my laptop where I want.

I have both too. I prefer to use my Laptop because it is so easy to carry around with me. The more compact is better for me.

I use a laptop only.  It has a decent size screen and fairly lightweight.  And I can answer my emails while lounging on the sofa.

I have both. I loved my desktop and still use it once-in-a-while because I have all my genealogy and banking on it, but it's slowing dying (it's from 2003).  I use my laptop for everything else but I had to add a keyboard and mouse because I hated the keyboard and since I bought the laptop refurbished/used, there were no directions with it. I also have to keep it plugged in because it doesn't seem to hold a charge very long so I'm still chained to one spot.

I would rather the desktop but don't know if it's the hard drive or the motherboard that's going so I baby it.

A laptop is my main computer. I had a tower in the past.

I have my PC, my laptop and my tablets. 

I mainly use my PC for my PTC sites but I do some of my work on my tablets for the mobile  offers.

I have  my laptop set up beside my PC so that I can multi task sometimes.

I used to have a tower computer and thought that was the type I would always have.  I couldn't imagine myself with a laptop!  I'm not sure why except maybe because that was the type of computer I learned on.  Nonetheless, I decided to get a laptop finally and have found I love it!  I don't think I will ever have any other kind.

I have both but I use a PC for my actual work. I never feel like a laptop can do quite as much as a desktop. They always seem to get slow, but maybe I just  have a cheap one.

I prefer my laptop.  My PC is too clunky and a lack of space.

As I have said, as technology continues advancing, it takes up less and less physical space.

I only have a laptop now.   And I know it's supposed to be portable, but I don't carry it around with me.  It sits in one spot all the time.

I have three laptops. My day time laptop is a top of the line Dell laptop that plugs into a docking station at work with two forty inch screens, wireless keyboard/mouse and elevating desk while I use a top of the line Hewlett Packard laptop that pairs with two thirty two inch screens, wireless keyboard/mouse at home for my second job. I have an old dell laptop that I use for dark web searches and all of my extra cash making applications. I have found that the laptops give me all of the power and memory that I need in order to get my work done. I always have at least ten applications, spreadsheets, word documents and/or adobe files running on my day time Dell and have yet to have any issues. I use four applications and two adobe files while working on my Hewlett Packard. I do not use these for anything else.

I have used both.  I have a tower but it is old and very slow.  I use my laptop all the time because I can take it wherever I want to.
