My wife has a Mac Mini. I have a custom built PC to work on and I have a custom built computer running as a server that we can store files on and I run a few sites off of.
It isn't necessary, just a want. And it's always cool to have friends over to play each other on an online game
Let them bring there own computers. That way you can save money for that pizza. Ohh wait let them ship in for that too.
I have 5 and yet I am left still wanting more. Depends what your needs are and in my case I am not alone so I NEED the 2 most used machines.
personally I need one of both...I do a lot of traveling, and I take my work with me. Plus, I have them networked at my house, so if I need to be doing two things at once, I can be.
windows networking is great , 2 mins to setup the network, 2 years to try and figure out why the frick I can't copy files from one PC to the other Y, LT for me is key when on vacation. Not only must I participate here but I also use it for my photos and what not.
yes, what if you have to travel somewhere, you cant take your desktop so just take a laptop instead . I have 2 laptops and a desktop pc.
no you don't need too many pcs if you work on those alone! but then am planning to setup a few more pcs so that my staff can work on them. also i need a better pc for watching videos and movies, and a laptop for travel outside! though for one person one desktop and a laptop is sufficient.
Personally, PCs are cheap now. I have 2 at home, a desktop and a laptop. At this end of year, I want to buy another desktop for games.
oh I forgot, I have an old crusty laptop so my number is 6! but like someone mentioned what if you need a backup. What if your PC goes on the 'fritz', then you'd be left holding the bag and for a webmaster that can never be a good thing!!
1 Desktop for personal use or for home works. 1 Laptop for presentation of project on appoinments outside. So I guess 2 is enough.
DUDE ! that's nicer than my LT does it have games? you know, b/c if it didn't it would be a pile of crap what'd that set you back if you don't mind me asking?
My guess is if you need it and can afford it then you should go for it. Laptops and desktops are a neccessity for the business community. If you are a game freak you have to go for a dedicated gaming machine.
Their are thousands of games and applications (Really cool ones, I run GPS car Navigation on it too, for example) for it. It used to cost 999€ but you can get them cheaper now
I think so, even though my laptop has a smaller HD, it's what I use all day & at school. Desktops are nice for the cheaper rates, and being faster. But for self-use, having more then one desktop and one laptop doesn't make much sense to me, unless used as servers, etc.
I've got 2 desktops, I use one as a workstation and the other as a server. It's a great setup, I highly recommend it.
It's totally necessary! 1 desktop and a laptop (for home use and travel use) and also a server to chuck extra crap on as well as use as a web server for testing purposes. That laptop thing is pretty hectic, never seen those before anywhere.
