Laptops or desktops?  | | | | Which do you prefer to use, laptops or desktops? I've been told that laptops have less power than desktops. Though laptops are so much more convenient. I mean c'mon you can be so lazy and watch tv while surfing the web, or you can get some work done while cooking, or watch tv while working, or whatever it is that you need your computer for. With me, I have to take care of my dad during the day, and my mom was given a laptop, so I take advantage, and use the web while tending to him. I'm out there in the room with him, while doing mylot, or just surfing the web for him, whatever needs to be done. I very seldom, and don't think I'll ever cook and play with the laptop at the same time, that could be VERY dangerous and knowing me.... would end in disaster! I can barely text and cook, but anyway... Comment! Let me know what you think! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | I think, interestingly enough, that desktops will soon be irrelevant. For such a long time in the world of computers, a desktop was all that was available. Even the first "notebook" computers were huge and clunky; not convenient for portability. Now though, there are so many benefits to have a laptop. You have look up facts any time at any place. Wireless has virtually made desktop computers obsolete. I think that people have come to terms with a separate type of computing power because, simply put, laptops are so much easier. However, there are some drawbacks. First, laptops are still more expensive because of the desired portability. Second, they break more easily because you are using them more, hauling them around and that puts wear and tear on your computer that a desktop just wouldn't endure. And lastly, desktops keep your computing out of your family and personal life. Once laptops take over and one cannot simply remove themselves from the internet, computers have won... :) As I write this though, I'm laying in my bed on my very own laptop. So maybe I'm a little partial. | | | | | | | | janette2009 (80)

| | I agree, they really are easier to take everywhere. Everyone seems to have a laptop, very few have desktops, because of the prices. My mom's laptop that was given to her is rather bulky, lol, but its a dell inspiron 8100, and it has xp, and it seems like its a pretty good computer. Talking about them breaking easily. This computer has an LAN card in it, and it sticks out from the side of the computer - which is where the wireless internet comes in. One day I was doing something on the desktop, and just had to tell my mom something. I get up, and I move too quick - the laptop is sitting on the desk - my hip hits the laptop, and the laptop falls on the floor! I nearly died, lol. The only thing that happened, was the LAN card bent, though it bent, we're still able to use the internet on it, as matter of fact, thats what I'm mylotting with, lol. | | | | | | | Local Electronic Stores Find Local Electronics Stores & Get yellowpages.com | add comment | | | |

| | For me it depends on what you want. In my home I prefer to be sitting in from of a desktop with a big screen. But of course if I am in the street I have to use my laptop. For that reason I don't agree with those people think that the desktops will disapear in a couple of years. I believe both will be with ours or maybe some company will design some kind of computer that will function like a desktop and like a laptop. | | | | | | | | janette2009 (80)

| | I have both, and use both. The laptop is great when I am not going to be at home and need to get some work done online with all my favorites and stuff. When I am at home I use my desktop. The benifit of the desktop is the space for multiple drives for burning disks. I wouldnt say that desktops are necessarily more powerful, you can get the same processors for both. What I feel is the only real issue with laptops is the power constraints. Sure you can play games that require heavy graffics, but its will suck your battery dead in 15mins. | | | | | | | | | | Desktop Computer Prices Compare Desktop Computer Prices!
