Personally I prefer desktops, but it all comes down to your requirements. If you need mobility, go for a laptop. Expect to pay about 50% extra for a laptop of the same specifications of a desktop.
ah my Lindsay (Laptop) of course she been there with me rain and shine though Jen (desktop) is the first thing I switch on when I get back home
You gave it a name ? LOL I have a sticker on my keyboard it says "Meri" Anyway this is a good question, and Im joining it
yeap, name almost everything I had. Even my mouse got a name "spanky" my old VW beetle use to be called "grumpy"
I use a laptop, if i want mobility I will use my crappy laptop using xubuntu and vnc to my gaming pc . If for general use I will use a good laptop.
