Do You Have A Laptop Or A Desktop Computer?

I got rid of my desktop computor ...4 years ago...that was the time i suppose the laptops became affordable for me...well i dont see any cons of having a laptop -it saves precious space in your home -its portable(take it wherever you like) -it works on your lap ;-) well my question is why should we have a desktop when a similar configuration laptop is available to us at comparable prices..my prediction is that desktops will become obsolete in the days to come ..may be we will have to visit a museum to show our next generations how it looked like...

I have 2 desktops, and my wife as the laptop. I plan on buying me a laptop at some point when I have saved enough money, from my online earnings, maybe. She is able to use her laptop all over the house as we have it networked. She is able to take it with her and use it at any of the restaurants that offer free wifi services to their customers. Some places she can just sit in the parking lot of the place without having to go into the building at all. Laptops equal convenience but have a create chance of potential damage. Desktops offer stability and routine. The only real way of damaging a desktop is if you regularly eat at the desk or place you have it stored. At least you always know where to find it. Sometimes when you're tired, you may forget where you left your laptop.

I have an old desktop, an iMac, that I am hardly ever using. It has not been possible to upgrade the programs, too little memory, so I have used it sometimes when I have problems with my PC, which has not been happening often. My PC is easy to take in a bag everywhere, so I do that - together with a mobile Internet connection if I need my computer when I am away from home. The battery power lasts nowadays only less than 1/2 hour, but I plug in electricity of course... It works fine. Next time I buy a laptop, I will be looking for one that the battery can be removed easily from the side, when I am connected to the electricity. That way the battery lasts much longer. ..

I have a desktop, but my son has a laptop and I had to use it one day and I did not like it. It was hard for me to use, I will keep using my desktop!!!

I actually have both, but I prefer a desktop just because of the fact that I don't really like how the keyboards feel on the laptop, While I'm at home my laptops plugged up most of the time, unless I get tired of sitting somewhere and don't feel like bring the charger with me when I move. Battery life wiser I don't think it's been that bad

I have a laptop. I got it about 2 years ago and gave my desktop to my daddy. I love my laptop. It takes up less space and just easier you can take it anywhere.

You are better off with a desktop. If something breaks like a monitor or a keyboard then you simply replace it. If the same happens on a laptop it is cheaper to throw it away and buy another. Laptops are handy if you need a computer on the move, otherwise use a desktop is my experience. (I have both by the way)

I have both. 1 Desktop and 2 laptops. I am a graphic designer and the laptop comes in real handy. It allows me to create designs when I am working with a customer. for tee-shirts, mousepads, business cards and even sales flyer designs or catalogs. I work with a beauty supply company creating there flyers and monthly catalog, so when I am on a deadline. I use the laptop to transfer from one computer to the work computer. I love my laptop.

I have a desctop computer and a laptop.I still prefer using my ordinary computer instead of the laptop.It`s faster and it`s not with Vista.Lol.Having laptop has it`s benefits like you can use it for a quick post here or just to send little message.My problem is that my battery goes down really fast even on "power saver" so I just use my computer while I am at home or ifin my room it`s cold I just go with the laptop (pluged) in some other room.Happy MyLotting!

I have a desktop computer and its the only kind I've ever had. I've used a laptop before and I couldn't get used to the fact that it didn't have a mouse, I kept looking for it..lol. I guess a laptop does have its advantages, its portable, but I don't think I'd want to carry it around with me everywhere.

Hi singlemommy~ I have a desktop computer. I am happy with it since I have never had anything else. Sometimes I do wish that I did have a laptop so I could take it into the bed with me on some cold nights when I just want to get under the covers and still be able to mylot! Or if I know that I am going somewhere and will have time to use the computer and would like to have it with me I would like to have a laptop. But, it is an expense that I just can't afford at this time, so I will just have to be happy that I do at least have my desktop computer! It certainly is better than not having any at all so I don't want to complain!

Both. But its more convinient to work on desktop. It can perform heave tasks compared to Notebooks because the processors are not as powerful as dekstops

I have both and really prefer the desktop. Laptops can be a pain. They're too delicate, can be too small, and the battery wastes fast so I tend to plug it in for power.

I only have desktops. I use one desktop to watch movies, listen to music and surf on internet, and another one to study, code and do experiments. While i'm not sitting in front of my computers, i may be reading, doing exercises, shopping or talking with friends. I think this is a good lifestyle. I'd like to have some computer-free moments everyday. So desktop is good and enough for me.

I have both a PC and laptop. I much prefer my laptop. Since buying the laptop last spring my kids have taken over the PC and it is really, really slow because of all the stuff they have downloaded and making separate user files. I still go on it occasionally because the WORD program is different than the one on my laptop and they are not exactly compatible. I can't seem to get single spacing on my laptop (Windows 2003). There are also a couple of other programs on the PC that I don't want to put on the laptop for fear of slowing it down. I use my laptop 99% of the time.

I use desktops. I am not familiar with laptops. I do like laptops. I think laptops are great for people who travel a lot. I think both has its own benefits and disadvantages.

I just have a desktop. I would love to get a lap top because that means I can write my novel and get ideas while in the living room, watching Tv. I would not use it for myLotting though, but for novel writing. And also if we do go on a trip, I can take it with me and write my novel when I am staying at my relatives Or my husband's relatives and not have to use their computer. Also the idea of taking it from room to room might be nice, but since we just have a guest room, computer room, dining, and living room, kitchen, and basement and the later is not light enough that leaves the living room.

[i]Hi singlemommy, We have a desktop...I gave my laptop to my Sister when I quit my job but I wish I will be able to get another one because it is really nice to have especially when I am out or on a trip! But, this time being a full time housewife, I enjoy using our desktop.....[/i]

I just recently got my laptop. I do like it alot but it's probably because I actually get computer time now.lol Before between my kids and my b/f,I was always waiting my turn and by the time I got it,it was late and I have to be up and going by 5am. I'd only get to be on a few minutes..so..I run across a good deal on ebay and bought my own.I'm very selfish with it too.lol

I have both, use the laptop the most.
