Desk top vs Lap top computer?

[KYS]

Dogz started an interesting PC thread, that got me
wondering.
Which do you prefer, lap or desk top and why?

i prefer laptop because i can carry it around, but i don't mind desktops either

I love laptops because you can take them anywhere.......but then they do make you a bit lazy too. Whenever I use the laptops, its either relaxed on the couch, or lying in bed. Another way to make us gain weight! LOL LOL! But I use the desktop more because my computer is a desktop, and I like using the computer in my room more than any other. I'm on my dad's laptop now though, and sitting at the desk. Miracle. I usually take it on the couch, or in bed, or outside in the backyard...but its too cold for that right now. With a wireless network, you can surf the web anywhere in the house without wires, or even outside of the house, so that's why I really like laptops..........but then, I like desktops too. They look nice on the desk.

I hate that too! That's why I always connect a normal mouse to the laptop!

I couldn't vote, I have both, I like the laptop because it is portable and can be carried with you, but I also love my desktop PC, I use the my desktop more, and only the laptop when I go to bed and can't sleep so to bed it goes with me.

I like both just fine, but I love how easy laptops are to carry around with you....and you can use them anywhere. I just got the cutest [yes, it's cute lol] new laptop earlier this morning and I absolutely love it. We have wireless at my parents' house, so I'v been hanging out all over the place and have been able to surf the web wherever I am....it's great.

I voted Desktop. I have never used a laptop.

I LOVE my new laptop. I love the wireless connection and I like the features better that I have with the laptop.

I prefer my desktop but love being able to tote around my homework on the laptop.

I guess it depends. I use my laptop a lot more then my desktop. I can take it basically anywhere and such. Where as I prefer my desktop for things I can't do with the laptop..such as install a firewire card for my digi camcorder. Wouldn't fit in the laptop. Same with extra harddrive space

I've been taking wireless communications classes lately. Also, I build the landlines that the wireless towers work off of for my job. From what I've learned through talking to people, classes, and work, wireless is so insecure.

I'll stick with desktop until our wireless technology gets a little better.

A desktop is my choice. I have only used a laptop once and I hated the mouse. Also, the laptops cost more money than a desk top.

i don't have a laptop LOL i like both just fine though.but from what i heard about laptops makes me want one so bad i mean i'd love to be able to lay in bed and chat (or post).

laptop is indeed on my list of goals,till then i'll enjoy my desk top which i love.take care

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
