i like desktops... yes laptops are becoming more equipped but they will never be better in performance than a desktop

Desktop. Better at gaming, better for a stand-alone media center. Laptops are nice if you enjoy surfing the web wirelessly... from your bathroom while you're taking a crap.. but since I can do without the internet for a few minutes, I'd rather not pay premium prices for the 'conveinience' of hauling around a portable computer.

Laptop is much better. You can carry it almost anywhere!

I like my laptop, because it lets me stay up all night.

I prefer desktops though, because they're overall better.

Laptop when you're always on the go.

Desktop is still better though.

Desktop is better when you play games, laptop when you work.

Every so often I miss the speed and memory of a desktop (and the mouse) but the convenience and the fact that my laptop is newer cancels that out. Laptops, in my mind are better in the end (cus you can always add a mouse).

I love my laptop. Portablilty, LCD 17in widescreen, hddvd disc drive, 8 usb ports, intel core 2 duo T5500 processor, 4 GB memory, hell yeah I love my laptop! A lot better than any desktop I've ever had or used.

Desktop.
I'm a desktop fan, laptops are annoying. especially the touchpad.
With desktop I have a bigger screen and access to a printer. Also, playing games in a desktop is easier then in a laptop.

With a laptop, I have a portable computer.


So, desktop for me.

A desktop is good to have just when your at home. But a laptop is good for when you are traveling and stuff.

I prefer to use a desktop because of the hardcore gaming you can accomplish on there. However since I tend to travel a lot I use my laptop more.

Unless your desktop has a built-in printer that's a weird argument... (Not the bigger screen part, the printer part.)

Laptop all the way. It's just easier to sit comfortably with. Also a lot easier to lie down and use... I don't mind the touchpad part since my touchpad is awesome and I can always just hook up my tablet or a mouse if I need it... It's overall more practical.

And regarding the 'desktops are better for gaming', I have a MacBook, so that's not where the "gaming difficulties" set in. :P
