What kind of computer do you have, laptop or desktop.

[texanwitch]

Everybody I know has at least one laptop, or no desktop at all.

I think laptops are winning, with WiFi.

I will never go back to a desktop again.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

1. A laptop, 3 working desktops and components for a fourth. Wired & wireless

networking.

[texanwitch]

3. I have a laptop and a old desktop.

I love my WiFi.

[Recursion]

6. Laptop

I love my neighbor's wifi :blush:

[texanwitch]

9. So you neighbor doesn't use protection.

My WiFi is protected, helps to have a friend who is a tech.

2. I don't have a laptop :(

...never saw the use for one I guess its because they are expensive, easy to misplace, the heat from the battery kills sperm and you cant see the screen outdoors :D

[texanwitch]

7. My new laptop does not get hot, not even if I use it for several hours.

This did surprise me.

[DainBramaged]

4. 52 desktops, chained together to monitor spacial emissions

to warn me if aliens are coming (how did I miss that spying thing, I never, tut tut tut). And the desktops are chained with really heavy plated small link chain too.

I don't know how many are running anymore, no I don't no no, the refractor dish is a little dented from the last Plumonian flyby.:freak:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

11. Excellent, you got your own SETI thing going on...

[DainBramaged]

25. No, I am afraid of the next alien invasion from the Crab Nebula

I have the bunker built and lined with beryllium to keep them from sensing me. I just got a new Gandor phaser and hope to get an updated Isotron 22 particle disruptor too.:crazy:

5. Desktop (with an older WiFi laptop)

I usually use the desktop. I'm more comfortable and more reliable working in my "other office," the extra bedroom, than I would be if I were on the couch with a TV available. Now that I think about it, there IS a TV in here, but I'm not even sure if it works.

My daughter uses one of my older computers, though, since she can use it in her bedroom or watching cartoons or whatever in the living room. It's a laptop running Windows ME, and is used either for checking my email really early in the morning or, apparently, for endless visits to Greenday.com.

If I could afford a new laptop and a new desktop, I would definitely do both. The laptop for sheer power (I need to play Oblivion!), and the laptop to more conveniently run astronomy programs when I'm out in the desert at three in the morning saying "Where the Hell is that stupid, stupid galaxy supposed to be again?" Other than that, where am I supposed to use the laptop? Work? Got two commuters there already. The park? Why the hell would I go to the park if I wanted to use a computer? The coffee shop? I went there to drink coffee and talk to people, not browse the news, which I'd be doing with a newspaper anyway.

I am taking a summer roadtrip as usual, though, and I will probably have the laptop with me for use in hotels. Not so much to check email or news or what-have-you, but to check on weather and road conditions, and information on various National Parks.

8. I have both...

but I must say I can't live without my laptop

[texanwitch]

12. I really like being able to move around the house or to go outside.

[Reverend_Smitty]

14. me too...

right now I'm laying in my bed...something that would be quite difficult to do with my desktop...lol

[liberaltrucker]

10. Laptop

Net access through Verizon Wireless national, and sometimes broadband network.
Covers 90% of the USA.

At home, a Vision desktop with DSL and wireless home network.

[SeattleGirl]

13. Both.

Though I usually use the laptop, since I also have a wireless set-up, and can use the laptop anywhere in the house (and on the deck in nice weather! B-) )

[liberaltrucker]

21. Nice weather in Seattle?

Must be be a helluva wait!
Just kidding.:pals:

[deadparrot]

15. Laptop.

:hi:

[texanwitch]

17. Laptops rule.

I will have old desktop up and running in a few weeks, two computer family.

My tech friend will help me repair it, with a lot of new parts.

[Maddy McCall]

16. laptop and three desktops.

The laptop is mine--it goes with me wherever I go...the three desktops stay home.

:hi:

[texanwitch]

18. Desktops are good, can't wait until I get my old one up and running.

The only thing about my laptop I don't like is the keyboard.

[Maddy McCall]

19. Once I got used to my laptop keyboard, I can't even type on my...

desktops anymore. :(

:hi:

[texanwitch]

20. Thanks for the warning, I haven't typed on a regular keyboard for a

long time.

[KeepItReal]

22. 2 Laptops, an iMac and a SmartPhone

:-)

[RobbinsdaleDem]

23. Both

[texanwitch]

24. Welcome to DU.

:hi:

I am trying to get a friend of mine to buy a laptop instead of a tabletop, this may help me change her mind.

[tjwmason]

26. Laptop at home.

Mostly stays in the same place, but from time-to-time she comes into the kitchen with me, or outside.

At work - desktop.

[Mutley]

27. Desktop.

I had a limited budget last time I bought a computer.

[Robeson]

28. Custom built desktop. And I love it....

...built by my own specs!

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Both. And after 7ish months, I have to say, they both have bennies

and drawbacks. The laptop is "fragile" but I can take it places. The desk top is sturdier (I have yet to break the keyboard) but it's sllllloooowwww. :ih:

[Monk06]

30. If you want to tickle a nipple and wait ten minutes for a reaction ....

Buy a laptop !!!
