Laptop Or Desktop?
 

Do you work from a desk, or a laptop?

I just use a laptop, but when at home I have it connected to regular monitor, keyboard. How about you?

The same - I'm going for a desktop next time though - I use the Tablet when I am out now...

I'll get a much more powerful machine for the same money.....

That's if I ever have any money again - lol...

I've used a laptop for years until I built my windows desktop computer never looked back. I need a bigger screen when I glare the screen for hours building stuff.

I've found laptops to be unreliable and of course always a sacrifice compared to a desktop in the power department. Only good if you're travelling a lot. In my case if I'm travelling I won't be doing any serious work at the same time anyway. At least nothing I can't do with a phone or tablet.

laptop, freedom it's the best

Desktop at work laptop at hone. Unless you run your own business/network/site/graphic designer there's no point in getting a desktop comp for your home imo

desktop for home.
laptop while i am on vacation./
and i prefer desktop any day over laptop.
productivity is not that great on laptop , those keys board keys and touchpad, i hate it.

Still using my 7 year old Sony LV All In One at home, great video and audio quality :thumbsup

I've always preferred a desktop.more bang for the buck

Being a tall guy I usually have problems with chairs (their maximum height is often too low) and screen angles (they don't tilt upwards enough with the default stand). I use a notebook occasionally, but I can't imagine spending hours every day angling my head down to see it. There's also the pissy little keyboards to contend with.

If you're into minimalism, and not a tall freak, then I guess a laptop is ideal, otherwise, I don't see why you'd sacrifice the ergonomic benefits of a proper desktop setup, with a full sized keyboard, and a screen that is raised more than an inch above the desk...

Laptop all the way.

I was laptop-only for about 7 years, then bought a smaller laptop so needed an external screen and keyboard, then got sucked in and now have a monster desktop with a massive screen lol.

Depends on what kind of "work" you are doing.
Video editing (especially HD/4K) takes an enormous amount of power so it's desktop all the way.
If you are coding or writing emails then a laptop woul do just fine.

So I use both; at home desktop and when traveling a laptop.
Tablets can suck my donkey dick. :)

Both.

I have desktop machines in my office. Fast, bright, comfortable, in an environment perfect for working.

But when I get tired of being inside, I grab my laptop and work from the back yard. I still have all my tools like FTP, editors etc, but the environment is more relaxing obviously, and serves to continue to let me work, but in a different way that I can't really describe.

I think ideally, everyone needs both a desktop and a laptop.

OR,

Buy yourself a laptop, and an external giant-assed monitor for it that you use in your office. This way you get the best of both worlds and save a small fortune at the same time.

Desktop with 24"+22".. couldnt work on a small laptop display

Haven't been using desktop computer for years :pimp

Laptop only, hdmi to a 24" screen.

I took my old desktop and attached it to my living room screen so I can watch shows & movies on the internet on the large screen tv.

I just rendered a 4 hour 1080p video on a laptop, it took a few hours but it was fine. Didn't overheat and video looks great.

You can get a great laptop with 6gb memory, 1TBHD these days for $350 and hdmi to a larger screen.

I rocked a laptop as my main workstation for a few years in the late 2000's, but just can't go back. It was fine for answering emails and batching some photos, but it was murder on my back, as I tended to work from the couch or other non-optimal spaces.
I live by my numpad and dual monitors now, and honestly, a laptop would be so much slower at rendering videos out. So I'm on a full desktop PC and quite happy. :)

Laptop if it's a macbook pro 17", otherwise a laptop + external monitor.

Laptop in use for long time

Laptop or desktop? Both.

I have a huge Alienware PC for most of my daily work. It's old, but still fast. I had to replace the liquid cooling system last week, but otherwise it's been great.

I have a Microsoft Surface which I use mostly for traveling. It's docked in the master bedroom on a small desk there hooked up to a monitor.

Downstairs at night I use a new Alienware 13 laptop. Pretty fast for what it is.

Of course desktop, working on laptop (without external monitor and mouse at least) is pain in the ass in comparison.
Have no idea how and why some working/business people do not own a desktop.

using laptop 4 years already, have desktop but dont use it anymore...

I work on a desktop but save all my stuff on a laptop in case something goes wrong. I'm a maniac at keeping backups:1orglaugh

2 laptops and pc :thumbsup

Apple Mac Pro Desktop

Mac Pro - Apple

I cannot work from a laptop, I simply do not like them, never have.

Work from a desktop. Last black friday stayed up late to snatch like a $600-700 Dell laptop for $299 I think because I've never owned a laptop. In the 10 months think I've turned it on 4 times mainly for windows/virus updates so don't really need a laptop but price was cheap enough to have it as backup or if I need to travel somewhere.

How can someone work seriously from the laptop? It is simply too small. Keyboard position is irritating. Maybe it depends on the type of job.

Desktop with three 24ínch monitors and 50 inch TV connected as 4th. But I am rarely using TV, maybe sometimes to watch google analytics in real time.

I am shaking my head about that as well. And even choosing it voluntarely...

Must be some unicorn job :upsidedow

Or those guys are working as gay cam models :1orglaugh

I use a i7 laptop with a hdmi 23" display, wired keyboard, and wireless mouse. It's the best of both worlds. Only complaint is the battery use to last 6+ hours but since at home it's always plugged in.. now it only lasts 3 hours.

Laptop , Desktop once in a great moon

Battery issues is one of the things why I would never try to make laptop/desktop hybrid. :)

Laptop with a regular mouse attached. I can't stand touch pads.

I have a few desktops in the basement tho. Just incase.

always been on desktop. I hate laptop dont know why.

Here my setup. I need to change the monitor soon, too small ;) and not 1080P

Now we're talking! Really nice set-up here man, but yeah I agree about the monitor :thumbsup

Laptops for the last 13-14 yrs...but recently bought an all-in-one desktop that I really like.

The one from Lenovo?

I started with a laptop, but quickly realized that it is not working for me. Right now, I am using a desktop with two 24-inch monitors. Laptop is my best friend while traveling, of course.
