I'm currently using my first laptop at the moment. I use to use my desktop all time before but I love the laptop mainly becuase it's more moveable :lol: Plus other aspects :P It's nice if you need to do work in the Summer and you can go sit outside with a beer and in the sun instead of sitting in front of a screen in the dark. If you've got the cash go for it. I've also got a Sony Vaio Posted Image It's normally around £450 but got it for £300 in a Comet sale. Bargin[Y] Edited by Stefan, Mar 6 2010, 07:26 PM.

I have two laptops, one for all my Game Design and Sound Design crap, and another for general use. I couldn't havea desktop as I don't have room as keyboards and amps take up half my room, I also like the flexibility of a laptop, like I always have mine on the bed. |

Mainly want a laptop cuz I'm looking for a flat, and a desktop will take up to much room. Plus I do like the idea of being able to move around with it. Just recharging it puts me off. |

i'm just in the process of swapping over to a laptop. I bought a 500 quid Toshiba. Kids toys are taking over the house, so we need the extra room getting rid of the desktop will free up. |

I use a laptop at home and a desktop at work. I prefer using the laptop as it's better spec and more convenient but when laptops start to fail they are pretty much buggered, whereas with a desktop you can just swap the failing component. Also with desktops you will get a much better PC for the same money. |

Prefer laptops. You can watch the telly/sit with the Mrs whilst surfing, instead of locked away in the spare room/under the stairs surrounded by double decker wrappers :lol: |

I prefer laptops. But like Lout said, they're a pain in the ass if they begin to fail. |

Only thing that worries me is the battery life, I tend to leave my pc on when I am home. If the Laptop breaks is another worry, not as easy to fix as a PC. But I've never had any problems with PCs so I'm hoping I have none with my laptop. |
