    Your workstation: Desktop or Laptop?

    Do you work from your desktop or a laptop most of the time?

    I do my work from a desktop but I was thinking of getting either an Alienware or an off the shelf laptop with an okay video card. Best thing about getting the laptop is basically unlimited internet. When I'm travelling I can use my cell phone (bluetooth) as an internet connection. Sure it'll run about 33.6 but it's better than nothing or paying a lot more money.

                          Laptop, and it works fine for me. I like the fact that I am able to take it everywhere I go

                              I have my desktop that I work from in a spare bedroom but getting a laptop is on my list. I would LOVE to be able to carry around a laptop so that I could work anywhere that I wanted.



                              Actually now that I think about it you guys should really see my neighbor's house! He's in his 70's and he's a computer nut! He has to have the latest thing!

                              But getting back to me I personally would like to have a desktop both up and downstairs, plus have my laptop. Plus I'm also working on getting a fireplace back in my living room....but I digress!

                              I remember my first computer costing around $3,000 - now you can get one for under $1K!

                                                  i use both of them about the same. I just have different stuff that i do on both, mostly because my desktop is linux and my laptop is windows, only because if i run linux on my laptop i will lose the function of my usb ports and my mouse pad and i cant do everything without a mouse

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                                          Right now I am sitting at my desktop with the laptop just to my left. I'm working on both of them tonight. Trying to prepare a weeks worth of work for my employees!!

                                                          I'm off on vacation tomorrow and they need work! I've been awake for 19 hours and working for around 15 hours

Right now I´m waiting for the docking station, it´s hard to work on a 15 inch monitor when you´re used to 19 or bigger. If you get a badass notebook like a p4 3.0 with a 17inch monitor it could replace your desktop, but I think battery time sucks when you´re on the road and it´s bulky to carry too, you should think about it pretty well

At the risk of sounding ignorant, I only used my friend's laptop a few times and u have to use your finger on this pad on the laptop, wouldn't it be hard to make galleries or something when you need to use the mouse a lot??
                                                                                                              i think that the laptop mouse sux. but i just plug a mouse in the usb port for when im not on the go. Probably could take it everywhere with a mouse plugged in if that mouse is the ms bluetooth.

Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

An old Win Me desktop at home that I use sparingly now just for web surfing late at night; and Pentium M chipped Dell laptop in a docking station on the desk in my office and also on the road. Also have another dedicated editing desktop in the office.
