Laptop or Computer?

YeovilTown · 03-06-2008, 09:14 PM

I`m starting this off as stated in the chat thread.

Beffi · 03-06-2008, 09:15 PM

There's a thread here with more or less the same topic.

YeovilTown · 03-06-2008, 09:16 PM

There is no poll there and mine is notr what you prefer but what you are on.

Beffi · 03-06-2008, 09:17 PM

Alright then, I'm on desktop.

YeovilTown · 03-06-2008, 09:18 PM

thanks for voting. I wonder what most people are on. We`ll find out.

B53n3 · 03-06-2008, 09:19 PM

i go on forum on both a desktop and Laptop

YeovilTown · 03-06-2008, 09:19 PM

which one most?

Siminjames · 03-06-2008, 09:19 PM

Desktop, much nicer than notebooks.

SuperSafc · 03-06-2008, 09:21 PM

laptop

YeovilTown · 03-06-2008, 09:21 PM

I bet at the end it will be 16-5 to Desktop

YeovilTown · 03-06-2008, 09:25 PM

First Laptop! See ya alll tomorrow. Goin for bed.

Laptop. Good because it's portable and I use in many locations. However, for when I'm just home I have external HDD, keyboard, mouse speakers and docking station. I'm going to get a monitor, as well. In effect, it will be similar to using a desktop at home, but then it has the added bonus of being portable when I need to use it elsewhere...

Desktop computer.

My reasoning from a previous thread:

I'd only consider getting a laptop if I had to travel from Uni to home a lot but since I'm studying relatively near home, I think I'll hang on to my desktop.

Ps. Laptop screens are no-where big enough compared to desktops. Any attempts at trying to type large amounts of information is rendered futile for those of us with larger hands. [Ie. Me] and the in built mice are normally as impractical as a chocolate tea pot. By the time I've gotten the cursor to the desired location on the screen, I've worn a hole into the laptop about 2 inches deep and all that's left of my finger is a stump.

Otherwise... they're fine.

Promise.

Tend to be on my PC 95% of the time.

EAUK_Aurora · 03-06-2008, 09:49 PM

My desktop gets more use but I am both right now

(well not as I type this but y'know

)

YeovilTown · 04-06-2008, 12:48 PM

Are you all on your own computers/laptops or someone else`s?

Nightbringer · 04-06-2008, 06:06 PM

Desktop, my own which l let no one else use.

Lampard849 · 04-06-2008, 06:10 PM

Desktop.......

YeovilTown · 08-07-2008, 04:17 PM

Cool.

Aaron · 08-07-2008, 04:44 PM

I use my MBP on a 23" external display with wireless keyboard and mouse.

It's a desktop replacement most of the time, but portable when it needs to be. I win.

... but I can't vote.

dbuggy455 · 08-07-2008, 05:55 PM

When i'm at home i use a desktop, when i'm not i use my laptop - Can't do as much image editing and stuff on the laptop though, so i don't usually use it at home (my sisters keep it company though)

barajma92 · 08-07-2008, 07:46 PM
