LAptops make it easy for you to bring it around but then it suffers the most when technology rears its ugly head. Desktops are nice but its is too bulky for you to lug it around. Whats more important to you?! Portability or Upgradability?

i prefer a desktop. they are upgradeable, and given the right component set infinetely more useful than your standard laptop. i think the biggest win by far though for desktops is the ability (given the right chassis) to add a ton of disk drives. it's a great deal easier to buy and install additional drives in a desktop. to me this means i can keep all my information for years at a time on one system simply by adding new diskspace to the mix, laptops don't really offer that same flexibility. on the other hand most laptops support multiple monitor configurations out of the box while you have to either add components or buy a very expensive mutli monitor video card for a desktop. even so, buying and installing a pci video card on most desktops is a relatively trivial operation, and given that most people don't realize that their operating system supports multiple monitor desktops this isn't a significant issue to most people. if portability is important to you then of course the laptop is the way to go. Unless of course the only thing you are worried about is the portability of data rather than the whole system, in that case a usb disk to plug into a desktop would serve just as well as a laptop. As for which manufacturer I would choose for a machine now, it really depends on what i needed the machine for. if it was going to be my personal workstation and I had the money I would look into an an alienware box, on a tight budget I would price out the system on dell, gateway, and emachines and go with what i considered to be the best deal. If money were not a factor I would probably just build something from components ordered seperately on the net.

It's has it's own advantage and disadvantage so I had them both. I have a laptop for portability and carry it at work or on vacation. I had the desktop for playing games and video editing and all other stuff my laptop can't handle. It's nice to had both but in case of budget constraint go for the desktop. For mobility you can have a good cellphone instead of a laptop.
