Do you all still buy desktop computers? Or totally switch to laptops? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

This thread reminds me of a short conversation I had with my oldest daughter the other day. We were talking about computers...and she mentioned how she has no use for her laptop and does everything on either her tablet or iphone.

To which I said, "That's because you're merely in the audience."

She didn't quite get that - until I explained the difference between producers and consumers.

I can't get real work done on my laptop

I have a dockingstation on my desk, with external 24" monitor, full keyboard and mouse hooked up on it.
Don't know about other brands, but some of the sony vaio laptops models have a dockingstation available.
Love it so much, its keeping me from trying a macbook pro since it doesn't have any real good dockingstations available.

Whenever a regular user asks me what they should get, I usually recommend a tablet.
