    I use a laptop in class, which I'm doing now, but much prefer a desktop for at home use.

    I had to use my laptop for a few days while my desktop was getting fixed and it sucked.

    Well... i'm stuck with a laptop right now, and it works very well with my schedule and what not. Only thing I can't do is hardcore gaming, other than that I'm pretty happy with my laptop.

    I have multiples of each, but so far like the portability of the laptop for work

    Desktop = Processing Power

    Laptop = Mobility and convenience.


    Can't go without either ones.

    I have a beast of a desktop, but there are times I really, REALLY want a laptop... like when I'm stuck in the library at school. It would be really convenient to have a laptop and be able to just quickly look stuff up instead of having to wait for a comp in the lab or whatever.

    But I would like a laptop in addition to the desktop. Seeing as I have only one, I definitely prefer a desktop if I choose one or the other. I'm probably gonna look pretty seriously at a laptop in a few months/after Christmas.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    better games on a desktop

    Crysis Warhead, at 1900x1050 resolution, looks much prettier and plays a lot better than anything on the 360

    My laptop performs better than my desktop, Bigger hard drive, more memory, better graphics... All depends on what kind you have.

    definitely laptop, i have a semi decent laptop so its not so bad... its more powerful than my desktop- even for gaming, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600

    but its so damn portable.. don't use the desktop bc whenever i need something to be on my laptop to take on the go its never there... and vice versa...so i'd rather just choose one to use as a main
