    I think all in all, a laptop would be best. I've worked with Tablet PC notebooks in the past, and I've never gotten use to them. You'd be better off buying a cheap graphic tablet (even an A6 Wacom), else you've just got something extra to loose, i.e. the pen.

    Laptops give the best all round experience, and these days you can get them just as powerful as a standard desktop. Plus you can take them with you to WiFi spots :-D.

    I have both a desktop and a laptop. Once I bought the laptop I rarely use the desktop. A laptop is so much more convenient. So my vote with be get the laptop.

    Laptops are easy, portable and light. It's kind of awkward to use the touchpad for the very first time, especially if you've used the mouse for... years, but trust me, you'll get use to it!

    If you type on a laptop for too long with that little mouse as well that comes with it your hands will hurt. It's terribly unergonomic and not designed to be a desk top. Just buy an extension for keyboard and mouse and away you go :p Maybe even a flat screen 24' ;)

    Can anyone recommend a laptop with a fairly long battery life? I am looking to replace my laptop and if anyone can recommend one, please let me know. I want to be able to copy movies, not bothered about games, must have good sound. Thanks
