    Do you work exclusively on your laptop?

    Do you? If so, what is it and do you see any drawbacks? I was thinking to make a 'top my main workhorse of choice, but I can't decide if I am willing to make the switch.

    you tend to lean over too much with a laptop...better posture with a desktop I think

            I can't. The keyboard setup just doesn't work for me for too long.

            Spend you some brain.

                  I've been working solely on my laptop for a bit over a year and love the convenience of it. Started with an Acer 15.4" - a bit like a desktop replacement, but just switched to a lil Sony Vaio TX650. While at the office, I do use dual monitors though cause I tend to run out of room.

                  Wouldn't go back to using a desktop though, personally...

                    At the office, for the company I work for, I use the desktop; dual monitor Dell.
                    At home, if I'm just coding, I use my Asus laptop; enough screen for dual text windows.
                    At home, if I need to do any design work that really, really needs dual monitors, I use my home desktop; dual monitor Dell.

                    My wife just got me a 60gb ipod. Before that, I used to take my laptop with me everyday to work, to transfer what I worked on the night before to the desktop at work and the inverse of that. Now, I just carry the ipod around and transfer what I need between whatever computer I need to work on (well, save for the home network between lappy and home desktop).

                    That's my retarded situation. *shrug*

                      yup work solely on my laptop and remote desktop to my desktop. There's nothing like being able to sit anywhere inside or outside and do work. Especially on beautiful days like today

                        I switch back and forth depends on where I am and what im doing.
                        I prefer my pc because I hate to slouch and my chair is comfortable.

                          I pretty much do. I take my laptop to my part time computer tech job and work when it is slow there. Desktop pretty much just downloads stuff and plays music.

                            laptops are nice since you can throw them in the closet (or the back of your car) and forget about it sometimes ;-)

                              I can't stand to do any actual work on my laptop. I just use it for email and forums and other stuff that doesn't require a lot of attention to detail.

                              The biggest issue for me is the keyboard and mouse are kind of a pain in the ass . Of course you could have external everything, but then its not really a laptop anymore, its a pseudo-desktop LOL

                              I need to have my big fancy computer to do real work.

                                    yeah I do now at home I have a dock with an extra keyboard + mouse and monitor... with surround sound

                                    no point in having two

                                    though my laptop is pretty powerful it's not as light as it could be

                                      It's a shame such a savage monitor had to be captured in such a lame setting.

                                      Poor monitor.

                                                i have a 15.2 inch powerbook that i use exclusively. i used to have a 17 inch powerbook before that, but since i'm not on-line nearly as much, and travel much, much more, i decided to downsize to a 15 incher. no complaints, it's perfect.

                                                        I did that about 4 years ago when I was living at the beach casa...decided to get all jellish with the laid back vibe, etc...try to get nomadish with the gear, etc...

                                                        anways, bought a nice 'desktop replacement' from dell, 4kish monster of the time, anyways, after some work, I seriously got tired of the small monitor (was huge for a laptop at the time), also plugged in a MS natural keyboard and mouse to the setup, but in the end, when you need a box to stay 'cool' as shit and perform, there is no true 'desktop replacement' not that I know of...

                                                        although I'm sure that could have changed in the last few years, right now I work off of about 3-4 desktops for diff shit and still use that old laptop for road trips...

                                                            I always use my laptop, but it's normally not at a good height so my neck gets sore. Once I get a laptop-like keyboard and a better lcd for my desktop, I'll probably always use that.
