I use the laptop, not that I do anymore design work.. What's better about the Intel is that you can duel boot into windows/linux/unix(freebsd).. Apple has a unix term since its based on freebsd.. but it has some major variations.

Other then that, I love it.. 1600x1200 ultra vga screen blows me away every time. And San Francisco has wireless dsl in most places so you can connect from almost anywhere.

:BangBang:

i think you mean the venerable Commodore VIC-20, yes..?

I used laptops for a lonnng ass time, but in the end there is no substitute for a good desktop....

besides my nutts started to poof up too much from all the heat....

go with a desktop :thumbsup

CRT has much better performance... gamers would know that too...

Tablet PC rocks for toilet submissions and discrete porno viewing:

I`ll go with desktop :) :) :thumbsup

I haven't seen this mentioned yet... don't you guys using laptops get a sore neck, since you're always looking downwards?

I've got an old G3 Powerbook. It's running OSX with a small HD, so it's bascially an on the road Internet Machine, that cost $3200 at one point.

I use a laptop for contacts and viewsing sites, and a comp for coding

Depends if you need something that is usable from home and office, if so then a good laptop with desktop like features will do just fine (great for traveling too). If you want a permanent station then a desktop is a better/more efficient choice. Both have advantages and disadvantages so try to see which ones in your case outweigh the other and then go with it. :2 cents:
