Desktops Are Dropping...Laptops Demolishing Them..
 

Geez, the prices on desktops are droppin' like a rock. Laptops are kicking their asses 6 ways to Sunday.

Stores are like giving away desktops as incentives to buy other products? Parts are cheap and you can't give a desktop away anymore.

It's freaking amazing!

I simply love it. I have no use for a laptop, and I welcome the beatdown. Simply means more for me, at a cheaper price.

My bag has just gotten bigger!

i still use my desktop a lot though

I love my powerbook, I can see why laptops are starting to take over now that they have good screens.

I agree, I use laptops 90% of the time now. Used to be 90% desktop a lil over a year over

I hate laptops.. I barely ever use mine. On trips I'd rather not use it at all

Well the laptops nowadays are very powerful. I have a new Toshiba that is a mobile television and radio and movie/video editing and producing monster.

It's a bit heavy but power packed no end. I can watch live tv on it too. Fits right in my backpack.

With the RAM and processors powerful enough you don't need a desktop anymore. Yet I'm gonna stock up on desktop parts and build my own to customization.

Until laptop batteries last a good 8-12hrs + I don't want to invest in one of them. Simply isn't worth the hassle.

The hassle of plugging it in ?

I find both useful. I use my laptop for e-mail and web surfing and stuff and as a addtional pc for video editing when I am at home as well as a main pc while I am on the road. But I usuallly use my desktop for video editing, and DVD authoring and other proocessor intensive functions.

Dell had a desktop for $300 including monitor! :thumbsup

I work on a laptop but shit, I'm in the same spot 99% of the time. Plus some desktop towers are getting so small that they can hook on the back of the flat screen monitor..Hell, I can keep the box and pack that shit up and put it in the trunk anytime I decide to travel. I wouldn't be able to whip it out in the airport but so what?

and they'll keep droping, the more they make... the more the price drops.

Yes! I saw that on tv. They also were adding a flatpanel monitor for FREE.

You can't beat a deal like that!

That's great except I have never found a way to use a desktop while on the shitter.

same with me. unless i have a portable workstation for the laptop, i just cant work on those things (keyboards, the lighting on the screen when doing designs, etc)

for work, its 100% desktop. unless i have to travel.

I traded my desktop for a laptop 2 years ago and don't regret it at all. I love being able to roam around and work, not being confined to one location. I probably will buy a desktop later this summer though, for the extra power when doing photo/video work. It would be nice.

cool cool

I'll wait til the prices go down and I'll buy more of it.

I just got a HP zd8000 and this thing is a work horse. I can see how one could make the change.

I have a nice HP laptop that I got about a year ago, works great but I still spend 90% of my time on the desktop machine. I'm lookin to get a powerbook tho and am betting I spend a bit more laptop time with that.

the drop in desktop prices is great. i remember way back when my dad paid almost $2500 for a top of line 486 (hey, it was top of the line then) ;)


now, i can build a top of line computer for like $1200. it's insane.

of course, back then there was no Tiger Direct either :glugglug

Ever since I bought my Vaio, I have not spent more than 1 hour on my desktop :1orglaugh

Laptops prices are still high right now, aren't they?

Until laptops change the keyboard designs to be ergonomic, I just don't see buying one. I bought one of those keyboards for my desktop and I simply can't use a standard keyboard now it sucks.....does anyone know of a company selling laptops with these types of keyboards?

i want to have a new Dell Laptop.

That's my biggest problem with switching over to a laptop.....they really are getting so powerful and usable; but, that keyboard messes me up every time. I've been using ergonomic keyboards for years.....and those tiny little keyboards on a laptop...I just can't stand them.

hmm..sounds like I gotta go take a look see
now.. anyone have any codes?? :winkwink: :thumbsup :winkwink:
